a. John flew the plane.
b. John flew in the plane.
A1. What we find in difference between a and b is preposition “in.”The relational expressions describe conceptual relations that hold between entities within a conceptual core. So ‘b’ shows the figure and ground. John is the figure and the plane is the ground. However, ‘a’ doesn’t have any figure and ground relationships sentence. So the meaning of ‘a’ is John make threw the flight.

A4. Light verbs have light meaning in semantic content. Here, the meanings of the same verbs are difference between a to c and d to f. They all have the literal and clear meanings. Also they are closely similar in meaning to a corresponding heavy verb. For example: he wants to have smoke compare he wants smoke. What are they are want to express are nearly same but the when it used in light verb situation its more specifically use than full verb.
