Prepositions of Place: in, at, on
In English, we use prepositions of place to indicate location or position. The common prepositions of place are “in,” “at,” and “on.”
Using “in”

Using “at”

Remember, “in” is used for enclosed spaces, “at” for specific points, and “on” for surfaces.

These are common prepositions to express movement, location, and position in English.
