      5. PREPOSITION : AT, ON, And IN


      proposition are those little linking words which can help show time, place location cause reason and direction. They are one of the most difficult things to learn in the English language because many times,they don't follow any rules. You just have to know which preposition to use. At, on and in are the most common preposition, but there are a lot more. Here are a few rules to help you with at, on, and in :

      As a preposition of time ;
      At - is for specific time
      - I will meet you at 10:00
      On - is far a specific day and date
      - The appointment is on
      In - Is a for period of time
      - He's coming in an hour

      As a preposition of location ;
      At - Is for a address
      - I live at 2439 Richmond road
      On - Is far a street, avenue or road
      - I live on Richmond road
      In - Is for a country, city, province or state
      - I live in Chicago

      Rules can't always help you for example ;
      - The woman is in the car
      - The women is on the bus
      sometimes, you just have to memorize
