Dear everyone,

Today I taught my first English lesson and I noticed that I have a really important question. Do you say:

"Please open your books on page 6" or do you say

"Please open your books at page 6"?

In the net I also found the version "Please open your books to page..".

Which one is correct?

Thanks a lot.

Anna-lena
