Detailed Usage Notes
- At the party: We use "at" because a party is seen as a specific point in space or a social occasion rather than a physical container.
- On the farm: Unlike most locations, "farm" almost always takes "on" because it refers to the surface of the land being worked.
- On TV: This is a fixed expression for all electronic media (on the radio, on the internet, on a website).
- At 7 o'clock: This follows the standard rule for time: at for specific times, in for months/years, and on for days/dates.
- At the zoo vs. In the zoo: If you are meeting someone there, say "at the zoo." If you are talking about an animal living inside the boundaries, "in the zoo" is also acceptable.
- In the kitchen: Standard for any room in a house.
