Thank you very much ( our teacher ) .
thank u sir
I liked so much….it was very ver nice. thank you Alex
thanks you guys!=)
I wonder if I can use ‘in’ in this example. My brother is in the theater.
Yes, if you’re close to the theatre as well, and know that your brother is inside it. If you are at home and someone asks, “Where is your brother?” you must respond with, “He is at the theatre.”
Thats a beautiful explanation.
i was about to ask the same question thanks for the explanation.
about the first sentence “my brother is at john’s house” .john’s house is a close place can i use “in” here!!!
sorry for the interruption,that kinds of question were always confused me and still confuse me sometime. .but i have leaned about this situation more extensively. .
we always use preposition “at” with home, office, work etc. . but i am still want to know the same question
Haha, I was about to ask the same question. Ok, now I get it. At is used for location, In is used for space, On is used for surface. It just depends on what you are emphasizing.
Thank you, Alex, greetings from David!
I want to know what’s the difference between sentences: There aren’t many people “at” the theatre. end I read books “in”the library.
Thanks
Why some grammar books use ‘in’ for the name of the street. for example, He lives in Albert Street. they use ‘in’ instead of ‘on’. Is this also correct? Thank you.
That sounds very strange, and I have never heard that! You cannot live “in” a street, because that would mean your body is actually underneath the surfact of the street. You can only live “on” a street, or “at” a specific address.
Ex. I live on Raven St.
I live at 53 Raven St.
I meant “surface,” and not “surfact.” :)
Why Martha and the Vandellas recorded an album “Dancing IN the Street”? You mean they wanted to dance under the surface of the street? :P
Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_in_the_Street
i dnt understand …i live in delhi,kalkaji,at …adress…hw can i say?
Hi Alex ….
thank you by explaination, It was really good….but I have a doubt
I noticed that there is this form at, on and in; and there is that
form at the, on the and in the. May you explain it, please, please???
hug
thank you but i have a comment a bout the videostore is on park blvd
why we didnt use at & parkblavd is ( specefec place ) why we didnt use at
You cannot say “The video store is at Park Blvd.” because you have not given a SPECIFIC address on Park Blvd. If you know the exact address of the video store, you can use “at.”
Ex. “The video store is at 455 Park Blvd.”
Hi,thanks for the useful lesson these words r always in confused minded and sometimes never use in right sense but yr lesson gave me very knowledgeable and right sense to use them and yr the above example has cleared all the confusion which always raise in my mind,
once again thanks,
bye
It’s great!:) I’ve learned a lot!
Almas I think that we use an article “on” in this case because Park Blvd (Boulevard) is a flat area or may be it’s better to say horizontal surface ( just imagine the boulevard and that store on it and you’ll understand it ) , even if there is some buildings , trees , people and another. THANK YOU http://WWW.ENGVID.COM – YOU ARE THE BEST . YOU WILL BE VERY POPULAR SOON – 100 % .
this class was very nice!!! Congratulations
Good morning Sir,
Your lecture is so nice and interesting to me.
Previously, i referred so many grammar books to find how to use at and on. But i understood partially.
Now tt is cleared to me when to use at(specific location),on ( horizontal or vertical) and in (enclosed area).
this site is very helpful to me in learning english.
I want to know how to use the word ‘do’.
For example, some people use the sentence like “I do have”.
Could you provide the information about ‘do’
Thanking you sir.
Hi Ganesh,
I am not Alex of course but I would say that people say so when they want to emphasize something, for example:
1. I do want to eat some cookies (Means something like you really want to eat some cookies; you’re looking forward to eat them)
2. I do love you (means that you really love that person)
Hope it helps,
cheers!
hahaha just to add I should have put a “comma” (,) before but… I apologize Alex!
Very good explanation!
great explaination ! thanks.
wonderful, thanks u so much “teacher”
Thank you about your lecture. It’s very helpful to me to learn about language. Maybe I can use right now about at, in, on.
I live in korea and I’m study english in the library. Is that a right? :)
anyway, Thank you and could you tell me about the way how to learn about writting in this website? or is it possible learn to teacher in this website or personal tutor?
thanks
as you have mentioned that we use on for the surface then why do we use in when we say
I am in the bed
why not on the bed?
we are on the surface of the bed not enclosed in the bed
plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
solve this problem
looking forward for reply
hey Alex
would you mind explaing it, this is my second comment,but i havn;t got the reply yet.
I am in the bed
why not on the bed?

Reply to this comment
You are really a insolent. Why you think teacher Alex has the time for take care of your question every day of his life???? When he is sit at home make more lessons for you, you put an isult like this to him???? Why??? Fool.
Hi Mahvish,
You can absolutely also say “I am on the bed,” but it has a different meaning. We say “I am in bed” because we usually think of putting blankets over top of us, creating an enclosed space. Saying “I am in bed” can mean that you are ready to sleep, or that you’re just laying on top of it. If you say you are “on the bed,” you are only stating your location in relation to the bed, and being ON TOP of it.
Basically, as long as you memorize the phrase “in bed,” you should be okay!
Thank you!
Thankyou Alex this is going to help me aot!
Thank you Alex ! It’s easy to understand this lesson. They are different.
Thank for this video again !
thank you
Gracias for the tips: specific location or point, horizontal o vertical and enclose area.

I’m from Russia. ะัะธะฒะตั or in English Hello! To be honest, the topic “Preposition” is very difficult to learn for me and at school I hate this theme or in school? I think at school, because now I’m not inside the school, yes? Alex if you can explain please
Hi Alena,
Both are correct, but to say that you are “in school” means that you are inside the school, while “at school” could mean that you are in the area of the school. You could be inside, or you could be outside. You can also say that you are “in school” if someone asks you what you are doing with your life.
For example:
“I don’t have a job right now because I’m in school.”
hi alex,
can we say”he is at class” or “he is in class” is correct.
i am really confused please help…
thanks very much for teaching me preposition
Dear teacher Alex,
Your parents have to be very proud of you.
As an immigrant for myself I always ask my kids how to use “at”,”on” or “in”
and I’m sure that they will thank you more than me for making this very understanable to me how to use them.
Alex, my son was 6 years old when we came to America and now he is a second years student at Wayne State University of Michigan.
He has a full four years of scholarship as a “PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARSHIP” from Wayne State University.
I’m proud of him too and good luck to both of you, to my son and to you Alex,
From Gimmi ( ^__^ ) an Albanian man.
Finally I have understood how to use ON, AT and IN.
Thank you very much for this helpful lesson.
Susanne
Me too, I have a better understanding now about this prepositions. I just need to draw them :) Thanks Alex…
Hi alex
nice lesson
I wonder why we cant say “im in the theater” as well as “im at the theater” due to the fact that a theater is an enclosed place too.
thank you
Hi Alex,

Hello, Alex.
Thank you so much for your lesson.
Please,may I ask?
What about forest or wood?
1)At.
Forest is one concrete place on the earth. ( one specific point )
I am at forest.
2)On.
Forest is an earth surface also. ( as well as a road )
I am on forest.
3)In.
As well it is possible to say forest is a certain place, when you are INSIDE it, instead of ON surface of it.
I am in forest.
What sentences is correct?
Thanks, Elen.
Dear Elen,
Forest is neither flat nor specifice point to mentions. Forest is covered place with trees, so I am in forest is correct way to use.
Am I right Alex?
Arshad, Pakistan
Yes Arshad u are right .
Onkar Singh
Punjab India
if i use at in school ex:i am at school we can use this word or not.?
Great video, thx a lot. I got a quesiton regarding your articles. Even I saw both video (Your and James) how to use article and when. You are using THE article in your senteces very strangely. For example Why “on the table” and no “on a table”. Why “on the road”, but “on Tv, on target”. Why are u using in singular/general sentences(first mentioned) some times a, the, sometimes nothing. All are examples from your videos. Thank you very much. Tomas

Hi Alex
Thanks for your lesson.
I have a doubt about “on the bus” .
Why don’t we use “in the bus”?
thanks,mr alex
sir i’m still not clear that if a tv screen is a surface and we should use on then what is someone’s house, why we can’t use on for it, i mean i am confused that what to consider a surface and what to not a surface :(
Hi alex i’m so glad to fellowe your class. it’s esay to anderstaning. i have ane que. theater is one close pleass. why’t useing IN
like In the car?
Which is correct. What in your mind or what on your mind?
i want to know is it the fish is in\on the dish? thanks a lot
thanks a lot~
this site is beautiful and you are beautiful thanks for you
nice lesson. very clear but sometimes there are uses of in and on that confuses me and I cant understand why it is used like for example. These rivers used to be abundant in wild salmon.
you have given example of Theater & Car.In both the case i.e car & the Theater is enclosed.Then we have to use “IN” in both the scenario.please advise me
This lesson helped me a lot. Thank you so much :)
This is a (Q) on the at on in
Is this done correctly?
At; I am at the store.
On; I’m on the bus.
In; I am in the living room.
Thank You!
I am on the bus it means that you sit top of the bus, I think it will be “in the bus”

this is great very very useful for me
thank you a lot
thx fr the video
Thanks for the explanation !!!!!
Thank you Sir,
I had lgin yesterday and till now i learned too much
gr8 lecture Alex! Could u please give the concept of where we use “can” and “Could”. I have confusion about it.
Hi Agha,
Search “can and could” in the search box at the top of the website. We have a lesson on this topic.
“Can” is for present ability. (“I can read. I can drive a car. I can play tennis.”)
“Could” is for past ability. (“I could run five kilometers when I was younger. I could hold my breath under water for over two minutes.”)
“Could” also has other uses, but for a beginner, the uses listed above are important to understand.
thank u a lot
that’s good
thanks! but i can’t understand enough your lecture, can you add subtitle in the video?
OMG, your explanation was priceless Alex. I am now much better with my prepositions. Your are just awsome and i mean it.
Regards,
Ali
Thank you.
Thanks a lot, it’s very helpful. :)
hi Alex, thanks for sharing this video…Sometimes I have problems with prepositions, could you explain me why we say, for instance, on facebook or on twitter I can’t understand the use of this preposition here because you said that on is for surfaces
thanks a lot;))
The prepositions I listed here are for beginners. It does get more complicated when you start talking about being “on TV,” “on Twitter,” “on Facebook,” etc. Basically, for websites we use the preposition “on.”
“I saw that on yahoo.com,” for example.
It’s the same with television channels. “What’s on NBC?” “Did you see the movie on TNN last night?”
You just have to be aware that we use “on” for these circumstances.
THANKS ALEX YOU ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL
that is good thinking\
Thanks. Alex
ur the best teacher for me,very clearly when u explain,,,its very useful!!!!!!!!!! but how about “OF” AND “TO”?
Thanks for the suggestion. I will keep this in mind for a future lesson.
is good
oh this really is a big help! :D
Thank you very much for the great lesson.
I understood all what you explained
Thank you
I think is a good thing to ignore some people
which trying to see bad word to others
Hi! Which of these preposition should be use?: The ticket office is located at/on ground floor Ali Mall, Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City.
“on the ground floor” is correct. When you are talking about floors in a building, always use “on.”
“I work on the fifth floor of the Plaza Hotel.”
“There’s a bathroom on the seventh floor.”
Thank you Alex for this video. Sergey.
i learned a lot here, thanks a lot!
hi alex, how we can tell time, season..when use in, on, at?
Hi Alex, your explanation is very clear. But I’ve come across situations where I’m still confused with “in” and “at”.
Ex: My family is having their dinner at the restaurant. (This is an enclosed area but “at” is used)
Ex: They cows are grazing in the field. (Field is an open area but “in” is used)
Ex: My family is having picnic at the beach or on the beach?
Thank you so much!
How about the time ?
Why we say “What is time by your watch” and not “What is time on your watch”. According to rules explained by you, it should be “What is time on your watch”.
Thank you Alex, first time I got normal explanation of grammar!
thank you very much for the useful well explained lesson. It is my first time to visit the website. It seems I will be a regular visitor. heeeey!!
thanks very much Mr.Alex…
Thank you very much, Alex. It is the best and easiest explanation for memorizing I knew before.

Thanks. I would like to ask some thing. I think in and at can be used following example: I am at the theatre. I am in the theatre.
Hello Sir,
I have a question. How about:
I live in and I live at?? I’m kinda confuse about this.
Does the usage of “in” is used for permanency? and the usage of “at” is for temporarily? Please help me. Thank you! :))
Hi Mimi,
“At” is used for specific addresses, while “in” is used before continents, countries, and cities. Your explanation is an interesting one, and something I have not thought about before.
Thanks for the class. Will you please tell me which preposition to use if I want to say “feel great and special in or at (and the name of a place, a residential area specifically) thanks in advance.
“Feel great in Argentina/London,” but “feel great at Bob’s Massage.”
You could also say “feel great in Bob’s Massage,” but the meaning changes and can be misunderstood. :)
Hi Sir Alex,I really enjoy watching your videos (in/on) engVid.
What preposition should I supposed to used..?
Hi Alex,
I think English is very hard to learn. Prepositions are quite challenging. Any ways, I just have quick question. I’m sometimes confusing and don’t know whether to say: on the news or in the news; on the news paper or in the news paper. Any how, thank you very much for your lesson above.

Hi Alex thank so much.
Thanks a lot Alex! It’s very clear.
Hi Alex, I really do appreciate the way you explain. As I was watching your video about In,On and At I remember something that my instructor before told us. If I am inside a vehicle and that specific vehicle is not moving(a bus for example) I will say “I am in the bus.” but if the bus is moving I will say “I am on the bus.” I just want to ask if it’s right or is there really any difference regarding this matter? Thanks a lot!
thanx so much its realy helpful i try tu follow all of ur lessons

Hi Alex, I hope you can give me an answer with this one.
“I’m in the bus” or “I’m on the bus”.
“There are people in the bus” or “There are people on the bus”.
Thank you very much.
“She is in the car” or “She is on the car”
“He is in the airplane” or “He is on the airplane”.
Thanks

Teacher Alex i have a question what is the proper preposition for this sentence: Jack is waiting {in, at or on}the bottom of the stairs. I’m confused because “the bottom of the stairs” might be pertaining to a location, surface or an area? pls. i need your help!

I’m really thank you for your special technique that can help me understand preposition well.
thank you our teacher Well done
The explanation was very good !!! Now I get to distinguish this prepositions !!!
i like the way you explain teacher!:)
iwanna thank you first but iam still confused about the enclosed space do you mean that if i wanna say in i need to be inside that place? can you clarify to me that point please
thank you so much, i only have one question, which is correct, i am still “on” the bus or i am still “in” the bus
i have somehow the same question i just want you to tell which is true here:Iam in house.or,I am at house and what is the difference please answer me quikly your best fan
This lesson has blessed me in knowledge.
Hi Alex
It is ok if I write in the school or at the school, or it depends on the situation.
Thanks
Dear Alex, why we use “You will always have a good friend in me.” will you plz explain me?
Aaah! Next time, if you’re going to ask a lot of questions, do it all in one comment. (I’ll answer them all in one comment to save space.)
Sometimes
incan be used to mean “by means of” or “in virtue of”. So “You will always have a good friend in me” is like saying, “I will always be a good friend to you.”“We went to Boston” is in the past tense. If you say “We are leaving for Boston” (“we leaving” is informal/slang), that means you are about to go to Boston (it hasn’t happened yet).
“Lives on a farm” is right, not “in a farm”. “In” is (usually) for buildings, or for entire towns, countries, etc. “On” is for streets and “sides” of things (the east side of town, the south side of the river). And farms.
It’s “at dawn”, not “in dawn”, because “dawn” is a time and we use “at” for times.
“At Christmas/on New Year’s”: I don’t think there’s a rule for it. You can say “on Christmas” too, though.
“In Delhi” is right, not “at Delhi”.
Good night!!
How are you?
I need to show about preposition of place, but a have to show some differents exemples about this, can you help me?

HELLO ALEX THANK YOU ABOUT TIS LESSON IT WAS ANICE .ALEX PLEESE I WANT FROM YOU TO MAKE AVIDEO ABOUT (A KIND OF ASENTENCE IN ENGLISH )BEACUASE I FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT . PLESE REPLAY TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
What kind of question would you like to know about? I’m open to future video suggestions.
Thank you :D
Hi! how easy, thanks indeed!!
Hi! Thank you for the lesson, all the lessons :-). I have a question, it’s correct if I say: I search something on the dictionary? Or is: I search something in the dictionary?
The dictionary is open… in theory is a flat surface… :-)
“I search for something in a dictionary” is the correct sentence. This is a present simple sentence. I think you might be trying to say, “I am searching for something in the dictionary” (at the moment), or “I will search for something in the dictionary.” (future)
Thanks for the question!
oh,that’really nice!!I’ll try again to get better one..that’great !! thx alex :)
Perfect lesson on prepositions
Congratulations
The all English teachers are teaching only this 3 prepositions all over the world. WHY? What’s up with the following words e.g. BY, FROM, FOR, DURING, BY THE TIME, UNTIL, TO, AGO, OF, OFF … ?
I loved this lesson.congratulations teacher.
now i know how to use these things.. :D
thank you,very nice it is easy to understand!
i have some questions
* Home also an enclosed thing. therefore why can’t we say I am in home.
* and which one is the correct- i am in the bus or i am on the bus?
* don’t we consider the distance factor when use IN and AT?
Please reply me.
Thanks for the tutorial.. Please correct the sentence for me..

Hi Alex,
I have a question! :) Why is it that in English it’s ‘I’m ON the bus/train’ instead of ‘I’m IN the bus/train. To me it sounds as if someone’s actually sitting on top of the bus rather than inside the bus. In Dutch we also say ‘Ik zit IN de bus/trein’, so, it’s kind of confusing.
Is there a specific rule when it comes to public transportation? Do you also say, for example, ‘I’m on the ferry’, because you do say ‘I’m IN the car’, right?
Yes, with public transportation you’re “on”. You also say “I’m on the plane”.
thanks a lot sir
