Dear teachers,
What preposition is used in the following sentence? She bought an apartment ..... her name. (ie. According to the legal documents the apartment belongs to her.) Thank you. Aneeth Prabhakar |

The preposition you need is IN.
She bought an apartment IN her name or She bought an apartment IN her own name. Rachel |

Just to add a little here...
However: The account was registered UNDER/IN her name. I believe "in" conveys officially recognized legal responsibility, whereas "under" simply expresses method/condition, but not necessarily legally approved or recognized. e.g. The criminal bought the gun under an assumed name." R. |
