1033 - Special Uses of AT and IN

At. In. These are small words, but as you saw in episode 1032, they can be a little tricky. We use both of them to talk about location, and sometimes the meaning feels the same. But there are also some very specific situations where we use at and in in different ways. Like, is it, "Jack is at the hospital"  or "Jack is in the hospital?" Or Both? Well, if you’ve ever wondered about that, don’t worry. I've got good news. We’re going to look at all of this today.

In the last episode, we talked about the basic idea: at is a point, and in is inside a space. Today, we’re going to build on that and look some other very specific uses for AT and IN.
