Preposition of place

a. At
Salah satu preposition of place yang tentunya sudah akrab di telinga adalah kata “at”. Biasanya, dalam menunjukkan
waktu, kata “at” digunakan untuk:
- Menunjukkan alamat: at Gatot Subroto street, at Mercu Buana street
- Menunjukkan gedung atau tempat yang besar dan luas: at the park, at the mall
- Menunjukkan nama daerah atau suatu tempat saat sedang melakukan perjalanan: at a village near Perawang.
b. In
Selain preposition of place yang sudah disebutkan di atas, ada pula jenis preposition of place lain, yaitu “in”.
Sebenarnya, fungsi dari “at” maupun “in” tidak jauh berbeda. Sama halnya dengan “at”, preposisi “in” juga bisa
kamu gunakan untuk beberapa fungsi berikut:
- Menunjukkan tempat umum: in the city hall, in the city garden.
- Menunjukkan tempat di dalam gedung atau tempat-tempat yang luas: in the restaurant, in the book store.
- Menunjukkan nama desa, kota, atau negara: in Malang, in Vietnam, in Australia
c. On
