In<\/span>, on<\/span>, e at<\/span> are small but very important words in English that tell us about location.<\/strong> These are called prepositions of place. They can be confusing for Spanish speakers because in Spanish, you often use “en” for many different situations. In English, we use a specific preposition depending on the type of place. For example, we use in<\/span> for enclosed spaces, like when you are in the car<\/span> oppure in a restaurant<\/span>. We use on<\/span> for public transport where you can stand or walk, such as on a bus<\/span> oppure on a train<\/span>. Finally, we use at<\/span> for specific points or general locations, like at home<\/span> oppure at the airport<\/span>. Learning these common phrases will help you speak English more naturally and correctly from A1 level.<\/div>\n

When do we use “in” for places?<\/h2>\n

We use in<\/span> when someone or something is inside an enclosed space. Think of it as being within boundaries, like a room, a building, or a small vehicle where you sit inside.<\/p>\n
