"in this case" vs "on this case"

To discuss an example of something, use "in this case."

Last Updated: August 05, 2019

in this case

This is correct

"In this case" points out an example or an instance of something.

ExpertExplanation provided by a TextRanch English expert


Some examples from our editors:

  • In this case, users saw an error message.
  • In this case, two cars reached the intersection at the same time.
  • In this case, your shipment might be delayed.

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • in this instance

on this case

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

A detective or a lawyer would do work "on" a case.

"In this case" signals that you are going to cite an instance of something.
