»When to use "On," "At," and "In


» A preposition is a word that links a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to some other part of a sentence. "On," "at," and "in" are some preposition words.

» Prepositions can be tricky because there is no definite rule for choosing a preposition.
But they are used to show direction, location, time, or to introduce an object.
