Does anyone know a rule for "a" vs "one"? Also "in" vs "on"? In the part of the US i live in it is common to hear "i'm on a league" like "i'm waiting on line" as in for tickets. Thanks!

[nayrad]

Where do you live? I live in pennsylvania and I have never heard such statements!

[sihayanami]

That doesn't mean they can't be found in any of the other 49 states or any other part of the English-speaking world. I haven't heard those in my corner of the Midwest either, but that doesn't automatically mean no one uses it or ought to. It could just be a question of dialect.

[shc327]

Agreed. Im from southeastern michigan and altho we say "waiting on line" and "on a league", i've heard it both ways.

[vicki.kura]

Central Wisconsin here. On a league is how we usually say it. And I've been on a few leagues. :)

[Rusko1]

In Tulsa Oklahoma we say "I'm on a pool league." We shoot a lot of 8-ball :)

[SusannaEDavis420]

I live in Indiana, and I hear "on a league" very often.

[melicampo50]

I thought it was on a league as well.

[MartinCo]

You can't argue with regional dialects. If in your part of the US people say "on a league", then that's what they say. That said, I used Google's ngram viewer to compare the usage frequency of "on a league" and "in a league". In books, "on a league" is almost never used.

[tjbrew06]

I live in Texas and we say "I am on a league."

[JayJay502335]

NJ on a league

[ssophd]

Estoy en una liga, Liga de la Justicia

[ale_fg]

add the opening music THE CHAMPIOOOOONS

[flint72]

If you mean the music for the Champion's League (soccer, by far most popular sport in Hispanidad), the music is the intro to a piece by G.F. Händel called Zadok The Priest . It's a really nice piece of music!

[Nomdeploomy]

the Justice League!

[Ralf455308]

Is someone on a board of trustees or in? Is someone in the Senate or on the Senate. On a school board or in? On a team but in a league? This has me confused.

[ken.goodwi]

So if one were driving would they be on the car or in the car?

[7895123G]

In the car but on a bus or on a train or on a plane.

[ken.goodwi]

yes, exactly. so one would also be on a team in a league.

[Ampus_Questor]

Would you, would you eat green eggs and ham?

[Elgin56]

One may be on a train, or on a plane, in flight.

[Joseph79050]

The league of Shadows

[Peter974648]

I am in one league?

[Gordon61647]

Sorry, on a league is correct English.

[Waterip0]

BBVA, Serie A, EPL, Bundesliga, ligue 1....

[HarpoChico]

... in a league of my own to be precise...

[Election234]

Aparently "I am in a rubber band" is not correct.

[Gordon61647]

In English "in" denotes rest at or submerged in whereas "on" denotes position such as being on a team or I am sitting on the fence.

[KathrynMorgan15]

It sounded like they were saying "este" instead if estoy

[acorivo]

It is also correct to say I belong to a league. This is used in the UK and other countries.

[Tay2theMar]

Estoy en una liga de justicia

[Erikelhomb]

Why is "I am in one league" not a correct translation? What is the Spanish translation of this sentence be, if the above is not correct?

[robert442980]

Do you use estar version of estoy because its a place.? A league

[Holsen4]

Where I come from, liga means rubber band/hair tie.

[jnowley]

Yep born in Wisconsin and I was definitely "on" several bowling leagues.

[Mary793345]

In the US, saying 'on a league' is more common than 'in a league'

[Ampus_Questor]

And in the UK it's always 'IN a/the league'.

[grade2dual]

I grew up in a bowling alley... I have never heard "in a league"... Around here (Utah) it is definitely said "on a league".

[pam721453]

I am from southern ny and translated the sentence as: I am on a league
