Question

Write the difference between on and upon...​

Answer 1

Answer:-

• Upon is much more formal than on, but it can be used with the same meanings as the preposition on in the following cases: on/onto an object or surface: It fell upon the ground. supported by a part of your body: She fell down upon her knees. looking at something: She fixed her gaze upon me.

How do we use?

• In standard writing, depend is followed by on or upon when indicating condition or contingency, as in It depends on who is in charge. Omission of the preposition is typical of casual speech.

Answer 2

Answer:

On and Upon are prepositions that convey same meaning and can be used interchangeably. However, upon makes a sentence look more formal than on. More to this, there are some instances where only upon is used to emphasize the meaning. This is the key difference between On and Upon.
