How to use "Sitting on" in context?
We often use the word "sit" to mean to occupy a seat or to be in a particular place. When we use the word "sit" in this way, we are referring to the activity of sitting. When we say something is "sitting on," we are referring to the fact that the object is resting on its bottom rather than standing up or sitting in a particular position.
When something is sitting on its bottom, the object can occupy a smaller space than if it was standing or sitting in another position. This is because the object is not occupying the entire space in front of it.
