:-) we are often confused to use at, in and on in a sentence. Now, we will learn about that..

:-D 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..

:-D you’re welcome..
