Put a suitable preposition to the blank below:

I saw the the key in my book and it said "under" but I don't undersad why. Could you tell me why.

Hi,

Here under means "according to", "in accrodance with".
Look at these examples:

under the terms of agreement
under the terms of the contract

"Will" in this case means a desire or a wish, which is usually brought into execution after its testator* dies.
For an example, I can write a will so when I die, all my money will go to you.
* That's what the person making the will is called.

Hi duc,

In addition to Alex's and GeoTop's answers please read why a meaningful message title is important and let me know what you think. Also, please don't "shout" (use uppercase letters only).

Thanks,
Torsten
