Hi,

The examples I have given above are expressions or idioms. You can of course use the prepositions 'on' and 'in' with the noun 'hand' when you use them literally.

Hello,

I have already received this same mail times before. Perhaps there is confusion somehow happened with my ESL Forum. Thank you very much for your kind attention.
