in
Surrounded by something
For things that you can see, touch, or feel, in communicates that there is a divided space and conveys information about its relative location.
The smaller, more central, or more limited space is in and the other is out or outside.
In is also used to talk about abstractions, such as time, feelings, states, conditions, and methods.
For these uses, in begins a phrase that adds meaning to another part of the sentence, typically how or when: Be back here in five minutes. She erupted in tears. Answer in English, please. Break the stick in three pieces.
