Question

I met him _ the street.

Answer 1

I met him in the street.

Answer 2

Here, there are two possibilities which mean two prepositions in which this single sentence could be used.

The two prepositions that could be used are – in and on. ‘I met him on the street’ or ‘I met him in the street’, both can be used and both have their own meanings.

The one which uses the preposition ‘on’ would mean that the person met him somewhere specific like the pavement while ‘in’ is used to show that the person met him away from the pavement that is, where cars travel.
