  ON vs OFF

  We say ON when we want to indicate the something is functioning, e.g.

  The television is ON

   

  We say OFF when we want to indicate the something is NOT functioning, e.g.

  The lights are OFF

   

  Generally speaking, ON is a preposition:

  The book is ON tyhe table

   

  And OFF is an adverb:

  Take OFF your coat
