'over' is used for actions such as traveling above something to clear it.
'Over' can also mean something is directly on top of something and hides it at least partly.
- The sauce is poured over the meat.
- He pulled the scarf over his mouth.
- She wore a coat over her sweater.
It can also sometimes mean 'above' with a word like 'hanging'.

These prepositions often overlap in meaning. As you know, it's repeated exposure to English phrases that makes it possible to use them naturally.
Here are a few examples when you would only choose one:
- He jumps *over the water that is *on the sidewalk.
- The plate of food is *on the table.
- I don't see the boy. The blanket is *over him.
- Sign above this line.
- He is above suspicion. (He is very honest and is no doubt innocent)
