KI-Media loves to hear from you, and we're giving you a bullhorn. We just ask that you keep things civil. Please leave out personal attacks, do not use profanity, ethnic or racial slurs, or take shots at anyone's sexual orientation or religion. We thank you for your cooperation!
People get very confused about these two prepositions, but there are a couple of simple tips you can use to help yourself remember how to use them.
In, as a preposition of place, is usually used to talk about the position of someone or something inside large places such as countries, continents, big cities etc.
For example:- She grew up in New Zealand.
At, as a preposition of place, is usually used to talk about the position of someone or something inside small and unimportant places such as villages, small towns etc.
For example:- I'lll meet you at the pub.
At is also commonly used with proper names such as buildings or organizations.
For example:- I first met her at Harrods. She works at the bank.
In, as a preposition of time, is usually used when talking about parts of the day.
For example:- I'll see you in the morning, in the evening, in the afternoon.
At, as a preposition of time, is usually used with clock time.
For example:- My train leaves at 6.30 am.
!Note - As with most so called "rules" in English there are exceptions, so just to confuse you we always say "at" night.
