📍 Prepositions: At, In, On — Time & Place

Moving from Bangladesh to Australia to France to Réunion taught me that prepositions change everything — especially the difference between ‘in Paris’ and ‘at the airport’.

📖 The Three Key Prepositions

IN — larger places / periods:
in France, in Réunion, in the morning, in July, in 2005, in the kitchen

ON — days / surfaces:
on Monday, on 14 June, on the table, on the wall, on the left

AT — specific places / clock times:
at the airport, at home, at school, at 3 o’clock, at night

🌍 My Life in Prepositions

I arrived in Sydney in 2005. I started work at the Star Casino. On a Tuesday morning in November, I decided to move to France. Now I live in Réunionat home with my family.
