Prepositions of Place
To confuse matters a bit, the most common prepositions to indicate time – on, at, in – are also the most common prepositions to indicate position. However, the rules are a little clearer as place prepositions are a more rigid concept than time prepositions.

Prepositions of place examples in the following sentences are in bold for easy identification.



The cat is on the table.

The dogs are in the kennel.

We can meet at the crossroads.

The guidelines can be broken down as follows:

On is used when referring to something with a surface:

The sculpture hangs on the wall.

The images are on the page.

The specials are on the menu, which is on the table.

In is used when referring to something that is inside or within confined boundaries. This could be anything, even a country:

Jim is in France, visiting his aunt in the hospital.

The whiskey is in the jar in the fridge.

The girls play in the garden.

At is used when referring to something at a specific point:

The boys are at the entrance at the movie theater.

He stood at the bus stop at the corner of Water and High streets.

We will meet at the airport.

Lot’s of other prepositions of place, such as under, over, inside, outside, above and below are used in English. There is, however, a lot less confusion as they refer to rigid positions rather than abstract ones.



The cat is under the table.

Put the sandwich over there.

The key is locked inside the car.

They stepped outside the house.

Major is ranked above corporal.

He is waving at you from below the stairs.
