Correct is , The ship is sailing in the sea.
Given:
The given sentence is,
The ship is sailing on the sea.
Find:
Is the sentence correct or not?
Answer:
The given sentence is not correct. There should be 'in' instead of 'on' in the sentence.
The correct sentence is - The ship is sailing in the sea.
Explanation:
'On' is used to denote that something is lying on some surface or on top of something else while 'In' is used to denote that something is enclosed by some region or something else.
In the given sentence, sea is not a surface. It is a water body which means that it is an enclosed region. Hence, we will use 'in' here in this sentence.
However, if there would be 'water' instead of 'sea' in the sentence, then we would use 'on' as water is a surface not an enclosed region.
Hence, the sentence is incorrect.
