On/In/At

Today I’m at Trafalgar Square or I’m in Trafalgar Square? I’m on Trafalgar Square? Today we’re doing prepositions.

Hello, Aly! Oh god! It’s you again! What are you doing? I’m eating breakfast. Where are you eating breakfast? Ok, fine, I’m in home. At home. Oh goddammit I hate prepositions! Look, can I just say “I’m home”? Yes! Cool! Okay, with “AT”, “I’m at home”? Yes. Cool. “I’m at MY home”? No! No! No! it’s not necessary to say the possessive “MY” with “home”. So say “At MY HOUSE”. Go talk to Cartoon Aly. I’m done. He’s angry.

Hello, Cartoon Aly! Hello! Where are you? Where am I? I’m HERE! And where is “HERE”? I don’t know. At the coffee shop. Wait. IN the coffee shop? Which one should I use? AT or IN? Are you inside? Yes. Then say IN the coffee shop! Okay, but how about “AT the coffee shop”. Yes. What?! Why?! What’s the difference?! In means you’re inside. At means the general area of the place. Inside, outside, doesn’t matter. So… okay. So, okay, now I’m outside the coffee shop but I’m still AT the coffee shop, right? Exactly! WOOHOO! Cartoon Aly understands prepositions! And!… So, here. Now I’m ON the coffee shop, right? Exactly, you’re on top of the coffee shop, so “ON”. And which city? I’m AT London! Nope! But, but it’s London! You said it doesn’t matter if it’s inside or outside. It’s the general area. I’m AT London! Well, yes, but not with cities, towns or countries. Why?! Why is English so weird!? I’m sorry! Okay, I think I get it now! I’m not IN the coffee shop but I’m at and also on the coffee shop, in London, right? Exactly! Thank you.

Next one, throw it at me! Fine, next one. Something that you don’t have… And I’m AT the party or I’m AT party but I’m not IN a party. That sounds weird. Look at the dog!! Okay so I’m AT Trafalgar Square but also I’m IN Trafalgar Square. English is weird.
