Prepositions problem!!!
|
I�m confused now and I need your help.
What�s better? This is the best day in my life or this is the best day of my life?
I would say of my life �cause that is what I�ve learnt from songs... but which is grammatically better?
I�ve already joined the group on FACEBOOK!
Thanks!!!

"of" is the correct option.

Thanks Zora, but then, don�t you say "he�s the best student in the class" or even "She�s the best teacher in the world?"
I only need to know why.
Thank you

Yes, we do say that...but the difference here would be "in my life" would mean the same as "during my lifetime" whereas "of my life" refers to a specific moment in your life.
I hope that helps clarify things a bit.

I think that "this is the best day in my life" is the correct answer
because the day is a period of time in life
and I�ve never heard or seen day of my life
I hope that I helped |

.. Started out like any other
.. Had the best day of my life
.. The best day of my life
and I also found setences where they used "day in my lfe" like ..
A day in my life at the ...
A Day in My Life in Germany

That was the problem, Missola.
I came across both "in my life" and "of my life" but thanks to Zora I�ve got it clear now. Thanks to you too, Missola for helping me.
