Yes, you need "on" when referring to being part of a team. We are on the ________ team.
I've heard both 3 and 4 in use, and they seem to be interchangeable, yes!
OK, well, I didn't see your second post!!
1. ... on the team.
2. (not correct)
3. (not correct)
4. ... in the same class.

1. In the sentence "We are on the school baseball team," the preposition "on" is used to convey the idea of being a part of or a member of the team. This usage suggests that you actively participate in baseball activities and events, such as practices, games, and team discussions. So, using the preposition "on" in this context is appropriate and commonly used.
2. In the sentence "We are in the school baseball team," the preposition "in" is also acceptable and conveys a similar meaning. It implies that you are a member of the baseball team and associated with the team in some capacity. While "in" is less commonly used in this context, it is still grammatically correct and understood.
In summary, both "on" and "in" can be used to signify membership in the school baseball team, but "on" is more commonly used.
3. Both "Don't be angry with me" and "Don't be angry at me" are grammatically correct and commonly used phrases.
"Angry with" suggests that someone is feeling anger towards you, directing their anger towards you as the target. It implies that they are upset or displeased with your actions or behavior.
"Angry at" suggests that someone is feeling anger towards a situation or circumstance, and you are connected to that situation. It implies that they are upset or annoyed about something that involves you.
The choice between "with" and "at" depends on the specific context and the intended meaning. Both prepositions are frequently used interchangeably, and using either of them should convey the idea that you should not be the target of someone's anger.
