  Thank you!

  The specification said: "suspend the execution of coroutine on
  an awaitable object".

  You said this: "returns control to the point of execution of the
  .send method that (directly or indirectly) started or resumed
  the coroutine execution.".

  But your explanation seems to have no mention of the "something" /
  "the awaitable object" part following the preposition "on". Shouldn't
  this awaitable object play a rôle in the explanation of what happens?
