I am comfortable with them in English.


I am siitting in a chair.

I am sitting on a bench.

I know the reason for having two different prepositions here. How do you distinguish it in Russian?

Usually the bench doesn't have something to rest your body or arms. So it is 'on' the bench. Similary you sit or stand on the floor.

When it comes to a chair, you usually find something to rest your body and arms. So you use 'in' for a chair.

Does the Russian have two prepostions for the chair and the bench?
