    Prepositions of place can be difficult - here's some help about using 'at', 'in' and 'on' when

    you're talking about where things are.

    Basics:

    If something is contained inside a box or a wide flat area, we use ‘in’:

    in the newspaper in a house

    in a cup in a drawer

    in a bottle in a bag

    in bed in a car

    in London in England

    in a book in a pub

    in a field in the sea

    in my stomach in a river

    If something is on a line or a horizontal or vertical surface, we use ‘on’:

    on the table on the wall

    on the floor on the window

    on my face on a plate

    on the page on the sofa

    on a chair on a bag

    on the river on a t-shirt

    on the ceiling on a bottle


    on a bike on his foot

    If something is at a point, (it could be a building) we use ‘at’:

    at the airport at the door

    at the table at the bus stop

    at the cinema at the top

    at the bottom at the pub

    at the traffic lights at the front

    at the back at school

    at university at the window

    at the hospital at the piano

    Here are some more common ones that don't really fit:
