Prepositions of Place
- IN
- The preposition “in” is usually used in circumstances where we are describing one person/object being surrounded by/or enclosed inside something else.
- Examples:
- We are in the office.
- They are in their car.
*We also use “in” if we are referring to months of the year. - For example: I was born in November.
AT- On the other hand, the preposition “at” is used with place, but not necessarily with being inside a place, rather than being there in general
- Examples:
- I am at university. (not necessarily inside)
- He is at the train station. (he is perhaps on the platform or waiting outside)
*With also use the pronoun “at” with time.
For example: We are meeting at 5pm.
ON- This preposition is used when explaining that something is on top of and touching something underneath it.
- Examples:
- The newspaper is on the table. (on top of the table and touching it)
- The computer the desk. (on top of the desk and touching it)
*It is also relevant to note that “on” is used with days of the week and with dates too.
