Location Prepositions At, In, On And Aboard
Preposition is the factor that makes it difficult for Vietnamese – English learners. BIET Language Center helps you better understand the usage of location prepostions At, In, On and Aboard.
The location prepositions at, in, on and aboard are a bit more complicated than basic position prepositions. Location prepositions are associated with specific types of locations, which must be memorized.
Sometimes, the location prepositions are logical. For example, in a house makes sense because you are physically standing inside the house. Other location prepositions are less logical. For example, on a bus means inside the bus rather than standing on top of the bus.
