1 In, on and at are used to talk about places:
►We use in with enclosed spaces
(e.g. rooms, buildings) and limited areas
(e.g. towns, parks, countries, continents):
in my pocket in her car in Germany
► We use on with surfaces (e.g. walls,
floors, shelves) and lines (e.g. paths,
coasts, the equator):
on the grass
on the line
on the sea
on the third floor
► We use at with a point (e.g. at the bus
stop), and at with a building, when we
mean either inside or outside:
A: Let's meet at the cinema.
B:
OK. Shall we meet in the cinema
itself or on the pavement outside?
