表示地点的介词 The prepositions of location at, in, on and aboard are a bit more complicated than basic position prepositions. Location prepositions are associated with specific types of locations, which must be memorized. Sometimes, the location prepositions are logical. For example, in a house makes sense because you are physically standing inside the house. Other location prepositions are less logical. For example, on a bus means inside the bus rather than standing on top of the bus. Here is a list of location prepositions and the types of locations they are associated with. Scroll down for example sentences, usage notes, and location preposition exercises. Preposition Locations at specific locations, addresses, companies, stores, events, parties, desks, counters enclosed spaces, buildings, organizations, regions, water, deserts, mountain ranges, forests, cities, countries, continents, the sky, space, cars, groups of people, little boats surfaces, roads, corners, shores, single mountains, islands, planets, public transportation, bikes, big boats, stairs, balconies, walkways boats, planes, trains in on aboard To help you understand the types of locations listed above, here are some real-life examples of at, in and on to get you started.

For this reason, at school and in school have two very difference meanings. Take a look at the examples below to understand the difference. Examples: Tom wasn't at home; he was at school. at that location • Fred doesn't have a job yet because he is still in school. enrolled in the institution of school • On a Street vs. In the Street Again, different prepositions have different meanings.

Examples: My house was on Delaney Street. at that location • The car almost hit him because he was in the street. standing in the middle of the street • At the Beach vs. On the Beach As described above, you must remember the meanings of the prepositions. At the beach is referring to the location. On the beach suggests the idea of being on the shore (standing on the sand.)
