in or on??!!

Can anyone help me out, please?
I was writing some instructions and I came across a doubt.
Would you say : use the clues given in or on the worksheet ??
I �ve always hated prepositions!
Thanks in advance  |

The answer would be on, since we use on when talking about surfaces, and paper might be taken as a surface. |

I think it is going to be IN.
Prepositions cannot be ON a worksheet, a coffee stain can, but not prepositions. ;) |

I think on your worksheet but in your book. a worksheet is a one sheet or two but there is no cover to open or close so to me it on your worksheet sounds more reasonable. |

Hey!!! Just left the computer for a few minutes, to get dinner ready, and in those few minutes got all these answers!!
you guessed what I was doing paula_esl, I was indeed writing a lesson plan  !! If on is used in a British Council lesson plan, then it must be right.
However, and after reading your answers, maybe both can be used!! If I find good explanation I �ll let you know!!
Thanks a lot to all!!
A big hug |
