Fill-in, Fill-up, Fill-out

**What's the difference and how to use it? Let's talk about it in this article.** There are three prepositions that are used in the word **fill**, and these are **in, up**, and **out**. ***a preposition*** *is a word or group of words used before a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to show direction, time, place, location, spatial relationships, or to introduce an object. Some* ***examples*** *of* ***prepositions*** *are words like "in," "at," "on," "of," and "to."* Let's start with **fill-up**. Fill-up is used when there is a container that needs to be full. Anything that will serve as a container for something, examples are glass, fuel tank, plastic cups, etc. So if I say "Please fill-up the glass with water" it means put water in the glass. `I have been using this word incorrectly all my life until now(embarrassed). I used to say(in local language) "Paki fill-up-pan mo yang form", which is not correct.` So, for you to be not confused, with **fill-up just remember the word container.**

The next word is a **fill-in**. Fill-in is used if there is a blank space or shape that needs to be complete. For example, every time you take a test or exam, you can always see the word fill-in like "fill in the blanks." So the easiest way to remember how to use it properly is the word "**blank** **space or shape**" because you need to fill-in something to complete a sentence or a form.

Last is the word fill-out. Fill-out is used in answering forms. It is used to complete a form with the requested information. So always remember the word **form** when using fill-out.

Make sure that you fill**__**__all the blank space before you fill**____ your tank. **Related articles** https://read.cash/@damelindz/stack-up-stock-up-stuck-up-796fdb7a https://read.cash/@damelindz/stack-stock-or-stuck-861a3988 https://read.cash/@damelindz/trainer-or-trainor-cff14f77 https://read.cash/@damelindz/stationary-or-stationery-9d8f5846 https://read.cash/@damelindz/horror-homonyms-part-2-da9b03d4 https://read.cash/@damelindz/homonym-horrors-alumna-alumnae-alumnus-alumni-09ccbc23 `Thank you for reading.
