In, On, At

[guilherme ribeiro]

Hey fellows, my name is guilherme i'm a brazilian teacher at Wizard. I've started being a teacher three months ago and since then i have this doubt about when i'm suppose to use in, on, or at.
I'd be so glad if any of you could help me, I really need an answer for this question.


My sincere regards for all of you, Guilherme Ribeiro Rossi

Welcome to the forums, Guilherme.

Let's slow down a bit here; there's too much to deal with all at once.

• Why do you assume we are all 'fellows'?
• Has anybody ever told you that proper nouns like Brazilian and the personal pronoun I are always capitalised?
• What's 'Wizard'?
• How old are your students?
• You have already used 'at' correctly. Why don't you try to use 'in' and 'on' in sentences of your own?

It depends entirely on the circumstances. For example: you could be in a car, on the roof, or at work. Can you be more specific?

Sorry about saying "fellows" and I know that you may write I and Brazilian i just didn't notice that I wrote it wrong.

It's like this you may say: I cleaned my mouth at, in or on the napkin? Did you get my point?

NOT A TEACHER

Sorry about saying "fellows" and I know that you may write I and Brazilian i just didn't notice that I wrote it wrong.

It's not a choice. The "b" in Brazilian must always be capitalised. The same goes for "I". I'm sorry if I'm being picky here, but "may" is not the right word here.

No man you are helping me. I'm here to learn so thank you for correcting me.
If may it's not the word, what is it the word?

Use wipe your mouth WITH a napkin. That may put a stain ON the napkin.

 

[guilherme ribeiro]

I got it, thank you vey much

 

[Rover_KE]

I get it. Thank you very much.

Always read through what you have written to check for mistakes and missing punctuation.

I still don't know what 'Wizard' is.
