Hi, Kim-- and welcome to English-test.net.
Sometimes (as with your sentences), the two prepositions are essentially synonymous. 'Inside' more distinctly specifies an inner space, and enclosure, I think, than does 'in'. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

hi , I am thanks for your help. Could I ask you a question that relates with this again? "the remains were found inside a wall " means " the remains were found in the house " or means " the remains were found in the wall because somebody had put it into a wall, that is like you see in a thriller movie" Thanks in advance for your help PS: if I make a mistake, please correct me |
