    I don't know how to explain it. Here is some examples. Where are you? I'm at gas station. I'm at bus stop. I'm at home. I'm at school.

    I think I see what you're getting at, but we also say "I'm in my house" which means the same as "I'm at home" and also indicates the "point" where you are standing.

    Note my additions to your post. You missed some articles.
    Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.
