Hello, welcome back to this channel! In this video,  we will understand the difference and the usage

29880
5940
00:35
of the prepositions underneath, beneath, below, and under. So, let's listen to Havisha without  
5
35820
7500
00:43
further ado. She did not like to drop the  jar for fear of killing somebody underneath.
6

8312
00:51
Why underneath? Why not under? Why not beneath? Why not below? Let's understand the  
7
51632
7648
00:59
difference between underneath, under, beneath, and below. Now, suppose if I keep a ball here
8
59280
9840
01:11
what will you say? The ball is underneath the  table, beneath the table, below the table, or  
9
71580
5820
01:17
under the table. Now suppose I keep a ball here  what will you say? The ball is underneath the  
10
77400
11100
01:28
table, beneath the table, below the table, or under  the table. What will you say? Now if I keep a bat here
11
88500
9600
01:40
some portion of the back is outside  the table whereas some portion of the  
12
100920
6420
01:47
bat is under the table what will you say?  The bat is underneath the table, beneath  
13
107340
6660
01:54
the table, below the table, or under the  table. Confused? Let me explain to you.
14
114000
7200
02:06
Now in the case when the ball is not just the ball  is not just getting covered by the table but it  
15
126060
11100
02:17
is below the level of the table in this case we  use below. The ball is below the table. But when  
16
137160
10980
02:28
the table is covering the ball the entire ball is  getting covered by the table in this case we use  
17
148140
10800
02:39
under but when this is hockey or something but  when this hockey some portion of the hockey is  
18
159720
11220
02:51
outside the table whereas some portion of the  hockey is under the table in this case we use  
19
171720
8700
03:00
beneath this hockey is beneath the table this  ball is below the table this hockey is beneath  
20
180420
9540
03:09
the table and this ball is under the table now  let's understand underneath now what is underneath
21
189960
10740
03:22
let me explain to you see if I keep a key just  sticking to the table it is just attached to  
22
202740
10680
03:33
the table by a tape or glue or something then  I will use underneath this key is underneath  
23
213420
9840
03:43
the table you might have seen in movies and  all they put cameras or guns or pistols just  
24
223260
7920
03:51
underneath underneath the table attached to the  table just by a tape glue or something like that  
25
231180
5520
03:58
so it is called underneath when the table  and the key's surface is getting touched so  
26
238080
8340
04:06
then underneath will be used when two  surfaces are getting touched like this
27
246420
5460
04:16
now tell me this phone is underneath under  beneath or below the pillow where is it it is  
28
256140
9660
04:25
underneath under beneath or below the pillow I think this girl is very sleepy like me  
29
265800
6180
04:32
so let me tell you this phone is underneath  the pillow because although some portion of  
30
272306
8134
04:40
the phone is outside the pillow but still the  surface of the phone and the pillow are getting  
31
280440
7020
04:47
touched so that's the reason underneath  will be used not under beneath or below  
32
287460
6000
04:54
This T-shirt is underneath the shirt under  the shirt beneath the shirt or below the shirt?  
33
294420
7800
05:02
Confused? Let me explain to you. This t-shirt is  underneath this shirt because the surface of this  
34
302220
11520
05:13
t-shirt is touching the surface of this shirt  that's why underneath is used I think this boy  
35
313740
10140
05:23
is very happy looking at somebody I think he's  happy wearing his t-shirt underneath his shirt
36
323880
9297
05:36
now let's move forward
37
336720
1320
05:40
Now tell me. Is this dog beneath the table, below  the table, underneath the table, or under the table?  
38
340380
8940
05:50
Confused? Let me tell you. This dog is beneath  the table because some portion of the dog is  
39
350580
10140
06:00
not getting covered by the old table, or I would say the table, whereas some portion of the dog  
40
360720
6600
06:07
is getting covered by this table I think  the stable is very old or is in a garage  
41
367320
8460
06:15
and the dog this poor dog doesn't have any  new table he has to stay until he has to stay  
42
375780
9000
06:25
beneath this old table. Now tell me. Are these  flowers beneath the tree, below the tree, underneath  
43
385500
11280
06:36
the tree, or under the tree? Confused? Let me tell  you. These flowers are beneath the tree because  
44
396780
9180
06:45
some group of flowers are not getting covered  by the tree whereas some group of flowers are  
45
405960
7020
06:52
getting covered by the tree so that's the reason  beneath is used these flowers are beneath the tree
46
412980
9643
07:06
Now tell me. Is this family having a picnic under  the tree, underneath the tree, beneath the tree, or  
47
426420
9840
07:16
below the tree? Let me tell you. This family is  having a picnic under the tree. Not underneath  
48
436260
9960
07:26
the tree. Not beneath the tree. Not below the tree.  It is under the tree because the whole family is  
49
446220
11940
07:38
getting covered by this tree so that's the reason  under is used Not underneath beneath or below  
50
458160
12000
07:51

51
471300

54
495660
7860
08:24

55
504300
10440
08:34

56
514740
6420
08:41
of the flowers are getting covered by the tree  now see, it's a very beautiful scenery I don't know
