About this episode

English prepositions can be a bit frustrating. As you learn English these little words are so important, yet usage can be a challenge to understand and master.

In this English video lesson I will explain with visual demonstrations how to use the prepositions IN, AT, BY, and ON when talking about a place.

Hopefully my explanation, along with my demonstrations will help you remember these prepositions when you are talking about places in English.

I hope you enjoy this English lesson about the prepositions IN, AT, BY and ON!

Note: This is the audio portion of a Youtube English lesson which you can watch right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g0lTY41wAI or find by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian IN ON BY AT".
