On the ground /On ground

 The phrases ‘on the ground’ and ‘On ground’ are often confused due to their similar wording. ‘On ground’ is a blunder many people make including presenters, broadcasters, public speakers, among others.

On the other hand, ‘on the ground’ is a standard expression. What makes the difference is the definite article ‘the.’

‘On the ground’ is the correct phrase commonly used to refer to a situation or condition as it exists in reality especially in contexts like discussions about social issues or business situations. It conveys a sense of being directly involved or present in a specific situation.
