Lesson 6:    The Prepositions at and in

                   Las preposiciones at e in.

He is at the concert.

The prepositions at and in can cause problems for English students. At is used to talk about places and events.

Las preposiciones at e in pueden causar problemas a los estudiantes del Ingles. At es utilizada para hablar acerca  de lugares y eventos.

He is at work.  She is at home.  We are at school.

He is at the concert.  She is at the theater.

They are at the beach.

In is usually more specific.

In es usualmente mas especifica.

He is in the office.  She is in the bedroom.  It is in the classroom.

In is used when something or someone is inside something else.
When we talk about the rooms of a house or building, for example,
then in is used. At is used with events or places, such as concerts,
movie theaters, universities and so on.

In es utilizada cuando algo o alguien esta dentro de algo mas.

Por ejemplo, cuando hablamos de las habitaciones de una casa o edificio, entonces utilizamos in. At es utilizada con eventos o lugares,tales como conciertos,cines,universidades,etc.

However  at is always used with work and home, and sometimes at and in are both used in similar situations. It is possible to say in the office if the speaker is close to the location. But speakers use at the office if they are not close to the location. Look at the examples:

Sin embargo at es siempre utilizada con work y home y en algunas ocasiones at e in son utilizados en situaciones similares. Es posible decir in the office si el que habla esta cerca del punto. Pero los que hablan utilizan at the office si no estan cerca del punto. Mira estos ejemplos:

1. She is ___ home. 2. Tom is ___ work. 3. They are ___ the museum. 4. I am ___ the bedroom. 5. We are ___ the classroom. 
6. He is ___ the exhibition. 7. She is ___ the kitchen. 8. We are ___ the living room. 9. They are ___ the theater. 
10. Susan is ___ the university.
