👉Beneath [formal]- Beneath is most common in formal writing. We don’t use it often in informal speaking. In speaking, under and below are much more common.
##Beneath is particularly common when talking about the ground or surface directly under one’s feet:
e.g. She could feel the train coming because the ground beneath her feet was moving. [correct]
##Beneath is not used with numbers. Under can be used with numbers.
e.g.The temperature was beneath zero. [wrong]
e.g.The temperature was below zero. [correct]
##We use beneath, not under, to talk about things which are at a lower level in terms of a person’s abilities, status or expectations. We often use beneath not under when someone feels that they are too important or too intelligent to do something:
e.g.His performance was beneath my expectation.[correct]
e.g. A captain is beneath a major.[correct]
##In or to a lower position
e.g. Below the mountains and the towns beneath. [Beneath= adverb]
