Prepositions of Place

0
Preposition of place (at, on, in)

Part 1: Uses of at, in, and on

*
In: We use in to specify that a noun (object, person etc) is inside.

Figura #1:Preposition of place

Examples:

- Where is your father? He’s in the kitchen.

- Who is in the room?

- Brian was swimming in the ocean.

- Bogota is in Colombia.

* “IN” es usado para decir y explicar que un objeto, animal o persona se encuentra dentro de un lugar, objeto o sitio.

*
At: We use at to refer to a “general” location.

Figura # 2Preposition of place at

Examples:

- Maria is at the window talking on the phone.

- Juan is at the table with his girlfriend.

- Please read the paragraph at the top of the page.

- The restaurant is at the end of German Avenue.

*AT: es usado para explicar que un objeto animal o persona se encuentra en el sitio de forma general. Es decir, si uno quiere decir: “Mi padre esta en la puerta” uno no puede utilizar “in” puesto que “in” es usado para decir que algo se encuentra dentro de otro y una persona no puede estar dentro de una puerta. Es por eso que en estos casos uno habla de forma general. Por ende seria de la forma siguiente: “My father is at the door”.

*
On: We use on when we want to say that an object or person is on the surface of another object.
