"on" = "on top of", "on the front surface of" or "traveling for"
"at" = "near", "visiting", or it is used for events / entertainment (indoors or outdoors), or for locations where the
purpose is more important than the building
With locations that have a specific purpose, you use "at" when you are talking about the purpose and "inside"
when you need to talk about the building itself:
Ex. 1: "The children are at school right now." (purpose, i.e., education)
Ex. 2: "There was a fire inside the school today." (the building structure)
In English, there are always exceptions to the rule. But these are good, general guidelines that should help with
many of your problems of usage.
These expressions are very commonly confused by Malaysians. I’ve even seen a sign in a bank with this mistake.
So we see that “fill in” and “fill out” mean to complete a questionnaire, survey or form with the necessary
information. “Fill up” means to make something full, generally with a liquid. As mentioned by the dictionary, it is
often used to refer to a car’s fuel tank. For example “I need to fill up my car”.
“Fill up” CANNOT be used to mean “complete a form”. This is wrong. Can a form hold liquid? (Well, possibly if you
rolled it into a cone it could, but then it would be ruined). Since it cannot hold liquid, it is not appropriate to use
“fill up”. The appropriate expression to use with a form is “fill in” or “fill out” (even though “in” and “out” are
opposites, “fill in” and “fill out” both have the same meaning).
So please don’t ask anyone to “fill up a form” because they will not be able to do it. Ask them to “fill in” a form or
“fill out” a form.
