Hi,

Where's the toast?Wink [;)]

Can I say,

(a) He is hanging (up) a curtain on / above / at the window. No 'up'. 'At' is best.

(b) He is putting up / putting the curtain above window. Use 'up'. 'Above' is not usual.

Best wishes, Clive

Is there above correct?

Can I use "on the window'?

I think "on the window" is ok, am I right?
