English prepositions are tricky. Here is a general rule for Place:

  • IN (Enclosed spaces / Containers / Large areas)
    • In a box, In a room, In London, In the car.
  • ON (Surfaces / Lines / Public Transport)
    • On the table, On the wall, On the bus, On the floor.
  • AT (Specific Points)
    • At the bus stop, At the door, At home, At work.

Triangle Trick: TOPS: IN (General/Big) -> ON (Smaller/Streets) -> AT (Specific Address).
