we are often confused to use at, in and on in a sentence. Now, we will learn about that..
we aren’t..you may perhaps.
Huss..don’t say to anyone.
In general, we use:
- at for a POINT
- in for an ENCLOSED SPACE
- on for a SURFACE
Look at these examples:
- Jane is waiting for you at the bus stop.
- The shop is at the end of the street.
- My plane stopped at Dubai and Hanoi and arrived in Bangkok two hours late.
- When will you arrive at the office?
- Do you work in an office?
- I have a meeting in New York.
- Do you live in Japan?
- Jupiter is in the Solar System.
- The author’s name is on the cover of the book.
- There are no prices on this menu.
- You are standing on my foot.
- There was a “no smoking” sign on the wall.
- I live on the 7th floor at 21 Oxford Street in London.
Notice the use of the prepositions of place at, in and on in these standard expressions:
okey, i hope this is useful for u..
you’re welcome..
