Английские предлоги места in, at, on. Как разобраться? + примеры

И почему англичане говорят «He lives in High Street», а американцы скажут «He lives on High Street»?

Среди трех сосенок in, at, on могут заблудится не только изучающие английский, но и сами носители языка. Не мудрено, ведь способов их применить масса. Сегодня мы поговорим о том, как правильно использовать in, at, on , рассказывая про место .

At — это фиксированная точка в пространстве, которая навряд ли сдвинется. Например, bus stop . Часто ли автобусные остановки переносят?

In — внутри чего-либо. In the box — в коробке, in the car — в машине. Как правило, in обозначает замкнутое пространство. Или даже так — пространство, у которого есть границы. Например, in the park — мы находимся внутри парка, у парка есть границы на карте.

On — сверху чего-либо. I’m on the top of the world!

Иногда эти три предлога взаимозаменяемы . Иногда можно использовать все три, чтобы рассказать, где вы находитесь. А есть случаи, когда любой из них окажется правильным.

Например:

“I’m in the bank .” — Я нахожусь внутри банка.

“I’m on the bank.” — Я на крыше банка. Вид отсюда. шикарный. Где же мой вертолет?

“I’m at the bank.” — Вместо того, чтобы сказать, где в пространстве находитесь именно вы, вы говорите про сам банк, его местоположение. На самом деле вы можете быть внутри банка и платить по счетам, можете топтаться у входа в очереди, или стоять на крыше в ожидании миллиона вертолетов, чтобы улететь со своим долларом на Гавайи.

Preposition: in the street, on the street, at the street?

From where I’m sitting (in Los Angeles), it’s «on the street.»

Well, I think in AE we use both, but «on the street» is more common.

And I suspect they may have subtle differences in meaning depending on context.

Hrmm, I’m American. To me, there’s a significant difference between the two.

«In the street» means literally that you are «in the middle of the street, standing on it, and waiting for a passing car to hit you.», while «on the street» can be used to describe buildings which face the street. i.e. «The factory was on Jackson Street.» or a pedestrian who is walking down the street, but is on the sidewalk, not in the middle of the road.

SB is correct. It doesn’t take much effort to think of —

Riding my bicycle on the street. which is an activity.

Where is the manhole cover? It’s in the middle of the street. position.

I somewhat disagree—I think one rides a bicycle in the street, but on the pavement. Which is interesting, because one rides a bicycle on the sidewalk, not in the sidewalk. And, even worse, one drives a car on Main Street. Why do I think a bicycle uses in and a car on ? No idea, it’s just the way I’ve always said it!

At any rate, it’s tricky, isn’t it?

The kids used to play games in the street.
They were not allowed to play on the road(pavement), but were told to stay on the footpath(sidewalk).

Cuchu’s cadences, of course, compel me onwards.
On the Road Again.
On Highway 61

I’d also heard/read the comment that one was American and the other British. I don’t remember which was which.

I’ve found some set expressions in my dictionary with «on/in the street.» According to it, you can say:
1)»The man/woman in the street,» but also «the man/woman on the street» (the average person, who represents the general opinion about things)
2) «The streets» also «the street,» «young people living on the streets» (the busy public parts of a city where there is a lot of activity, excitement, and crime, or where people without homes live)
3) «a car parked on the other side of the street»
4) «be (living) on easy street» (to be in a situation in which you have plenty of money)

I wonder if one can say #2 and 4 with «in».

1. He lives in London.

2. He lives at 34 Oxford Street.

3. His house is on Oxford Street.

4. He lives on Oxford Street.

I know the first 3 sentence are fine. How about the fourth sentence? Would you agree with the preposition ‘on’ in the fourth sentence?

I live in Ireland.

I live in Belgium.

You wouldn’t use the prepostion ‘on’ here, would you?

5. He lives at 34 Oxford Street in London.

I guess,if you want to specify the address, the fifth sentence is fine.

Would you write the fifth sentence?
My question is on the prepositions.

I’m happy with all four five .

I think the choice between in and on (in 3&4) depends on how big the street happens to be.
Oxford Street is huge. If anyone lives there, they live on Oxford Street.
Chadwick Street is short. People who live there live in Chadwick Street.

Previous threads have discussed this strange subject:

It seems to be quite subjective.

I thank everybody for the comments.

So Tony Blair lives in London.

6. Tony Blair lives at 10 Downing Street.

7. Tony Blair lives on 10 Downing Street.

The place ‘number 10 Downing Street’ is a spot.

So it should be the sixth sentence.

For example, we say I met him in London but I met him at Heathrow Airport. London is a huge geographical area where as the airport is a particular place though it has a mass area.

We use the preposition ‘in’ for a geographical area and ‘at’ for a spot or rather a particular place.

Would you write the seventh sentence?

I don’t think you should use 10 Downing Street as an example. It is not a spot, it is the Prime Minister’s official residence.

Tony lives in 10 Downing Street rather as the Queen lives in Buckingham Palace.

Senior Member

Queen lives in Buckingham Palace.
The above is obvious. The Palace has the three diemensional aspects.

I live in this house. The preposition ‘in’ should be used as it has some walls, roof, etc.

I am not satisfied with ‘in Downing Street’ , though.

From the perspective of a UK resident, the name «10 Downing Street» means the building we see on the news every day. It is a three-dimensional concept, not just an address.

Bill Bloggs lives at 47 Adelaide Street.
He does not live on 47 Adelaide Street.

He might say he lives on Adelaide Street, or in Adelaide Street.
I think that his choice of on/in depends on how big Adelaide Street is.

Is this some strange sort of BE thing? I would never say anyone lived IN any street, no matter how short or small it was.

When I think of someone living IN «11th street» (as an example), I imagine tiny sidewalk people who live in the cracks of the sidewalk, or something like that. The only time I can think of using IN + STREET is:

I live in the street

Which would mean something on the lines of beeing homeless. However, I would use ON there as well if I felt like it.

From a purely AE standpoint, «at» is used for a specific, defined place, «on» is used before a street name with no specific address, and «in» is used whenever there is the sense of «within» or «inside of.» For example:

He lives at 34 Oxford Street.

He lives on Oxford Street.

He lives in Palace Apartments.

Notice that if the person you are talking to already knows of Palace Apartments, then it is already defined and specific enough between the speakers, so that one may say, «He lives at Palace Apartments.» (If the other person does not know of Palace Apartments, he would infer that it is a specific place and probably ask, «What is Palace Apartments?» instead of «Where is Palace Apartments?»)

There are always exceptions and linguistic nuances. One could say, «John lives at that restaurant» to mean «John goes to that restaurant so often that he practically lives there»; but to say «John lives in that restaurant» would imply «John physically inhabits that restaurant.»

When speaking of geographic regions, one always uses «in» since we literally mean «He lives within/inside of London» and not «He lives on top of London» or «He lives at the specific spot of London.»
