Learn English Prepositions: TO or AT?

Hello everyone. Never use a preposition to end a sentence with…. Is it true? I was taught the whole life the opposite. Where are you from? It’s the issue I’m bother with….
Thank you, Rebecca, for the lesson.

nataanna

Hello Nataanna ,
As far as I know you can end a phrase with a preposition .
e.g. Who you are speaking to
The music I was listen to
The person you are dealing with
The place you are from
The girl you are looking at
This is the train I travelled on
And so on ….
Hope that help
Bye

Handy tips for using correctly these prepositions.

To tell the truth, prepositions are not that easy to master. As a language learner I had to learned a good number of them by heart.

Superb video lesson Rebecca. Have a great week!

Regino

the first one and last one
is complete sentence but others are not

Bilal Khan321

I’m at my home 14 days because Im still self isolating

H.maydi@gmail.com

This is one of those grammar rules that everyone knows—but which isn’t actually true! Ending a sentence with a preposition is perfectly acceptable.

Thank you very much for the explanation.

palakshi nautiyal

100. You made this lesson so easier for me. Thanks rebecca.

Annie

Hello Rebecca , hello everybody ,
Is it quite English to say ” at the intention of someone” ?
Is it possible to swap the preposition “to” by “at the intention of”
e.g. I wrote a letter at the intention of the chairman
Thank you for your comment
See you

tsamp

Thank you Rebecca for your lesson.
This theme is very confusing for me.
I’ve got 10/10.

joe921

wow ! mam you are briliant .

anves sapkota

Thank you very much. Very helpful lesson.

Felix001

Thank you so much Rebecca for teaching English so easily. You always make English so easy…
Just one question: as far as I know, it is possible to say “to speak at somebody”, referring to talk to somebody rudely, is that right??
Thanks!!

knopfler86

Hello knopfler ,
I don’t know if it match with “speak” but it is common to say ” he yell at me” .
So you are partially or perhaps completely right .
See if Rebecca confirm later on
Bye

tsamp

Thanks tsamp. Yes, let´s see what Rebecca says, if she does.
Good luck with your French elections today ;)

knopfler86

Thank for your encouragement . Providing we stay European .
Sorry for the third person conjugation mistake I made , I forgot the s at the end of yell .

tsamp

if somebody on distance and loudly say to you – “he yells to me.” – to somebody, direction
if he’s near and swear – “he yells at me.” at location, “me” – location
thanks for the explanation

Thank you

etihadpolina

Hey there, please teach more challenging lessons. Thanks

Zahra

I love prepositions,but always be confused about some verbs which is more complicated. When the verb adds different prep, it turns to be different meaning, and so hard to be memorized.?
Recently, I learned a verb”tear”, with different perp, like”away””up””down””off””apart”,the verb becomes sooooo many meanings.
That’s pretty hard to see a new combination, n figure out the meaning immediately.
Need Teacher Rebecca’s help ?

LIN Ting Hsuan

Nice lesson. I love Engvid!!!

clagoma

it is very easy , i have got 10 without waching the video, but thank you Rebecca for all your lessons.

SKIKDA

That’s good, full mark without watching the explication.
Salam pour Algérie ??

hassouna

thanks for your concern my freind

SKIKDA

Hi Rebecca thanks for this new lesson! I often make the mistake of using in instead of at, for example “John studied ‘in’ the library”. Surely it is because it is as I would say in Spanish.

Jorge

Thanks Rebbeca this lesson was great…and is easy…

marcos alexandre

Hi Rebecca: Well, this lesson is OK, but there’s another preposition that’s even more confusing than TO, that’s IN. I mean, you can say “I eat AT this restaurant”, but you can also say “I eat IN this restaurant”, or even worse, you said “I live AT (but didn’t finish the example)”, but it’s more common (and also more natural) to say “I live IN Toronto”. In fact, most of the examples in the bracket list sound better with IN instead of AT.

Thanks & greets from Argentina (Hope it is from England someday).
Marcelo.

marcelomiguelbazan

Hello Marcelo ,
Speaking about country or a town you say “in” . Speaking about an address you will say “at” .E.g : I live in Canada , in Montreal at 1118 st catherine street .
Eating in the restaurant means that you are eating inside it but the more general preposition to use is “at” . However it seems that if you are static at a specific room you will say “in” .E.g : I am cooking in the kitchen .
Clearly , this lesson get us still confused .

tsamp

Hi Marcelo,

This earlier lesson of mine may help you:

that’s great

Rahim

It has been a review that it’s always very useful, maybe sometimes you can confuse the movement and the situation but it isn’t usual, the concept is very clear but some phrasal verbs might induce you to an error or mistake. It had doubts with the preposition “into” and “onto” at the beginning, two prepositions of movement, and I learn how to fix this confusion with the horizontal movement for “into” and the vertical movement for “onto”, and so I solved the misunderstanding of these two prepositions. Thanks a lot, teacher Rebecca, I prefer to review concepts that learning something new because it’s more relaxed and cozy.

Ok but I have a doubt..
In the video teacher speaks when something is linked with movement have to be used “to”, but in the sentence : “Meet me … the restaurant” I understand there is movement because the other person will go… I guess it will be different if sentence would be “Wait me ….the restaurant”.. :/ help please

Somi

Hi,
one of ur lesson,u write a sentence such as ‘ I reached home safely’. why can’t we use ‘to’ before home? here doesn’t reached mean movement or home is used as a destination?

Syful

Good Evening Rebbeca. I´m confused because you told in the lesson about propositions IN ON AT that the word HOME doesn´t need preposition. But in this lesson in the exercise number 1 you have used it AT HOME. Please, which one is corrected? Thank you so much.
