At would be correct. At the end of the row is a position of place. On would make it a surface. You can �t be on a row.

Dear Givanni, Your correction is logical and convincing, Thanks a lot!. I need correction of few more sentences; hope you will correct these as well.
1. "Why did Corey�s parents have a bill for $20,000?
Can we use "for" instead of "of" in the above question?
2. The 501 label showed that the jeans do not tear
easily.�
I think there should be did instead of do; need your expert opinion.
I �ll be thankful for your great help.

Hi nabeera, I �m not Giovanni, but I �ll have a go. 1. �for � is correct. �get � or �receive � a bill would be better. A bill of $20,000 would mean a note of that amount. 2. �Do � is correct, as it stands: we do not know that the jeans tore. It �s an explanation of what the jeans are like, a quality they have. 3. Just �originated � no need for �were �. |
