IN the porch ?

sacredceltic sacredceltic February 25, 2018 February 25, 2018 at 10:46:13 AM UTC link Permalink

who's "we"?

The Kenerman dictionary provides this example : "They waited in the porch until it stopped raining"

Is that a different meaning ?

Since a porch is a projected structure of a doorway and forming a covered entrance, does "in the porch" mean that you're waiting underneath, while "on the porch" means that you're waiting at the door but not necessarily in the covered space ?
I can't see how somebody would be standing "on the porch", since that would mean they stand on top of the doorway...
