Under, Below, Beneath, Underneath (What's the difference?)

Under, Below, Beneath, Underneath (What's the difference?)

I explain the basic differences between under, below, beneath, and underneath.

I focus mostly just on what the words mean, not on whether they are prepositions, adjectives, adverbs, or nouns, because that would make this video really long.

And yes, there are a few other ways that some of these words can be used. This video is mostly about how we use them to describe physical location.
