or I'm "in" Trafalgar Square...

I'm "on" Trafalgar Square?

Today, we're doing prepositions.

Hello, Aly!

Oh, God! It's you again!

What are you doing?

I'm eating breakfast.

Where are you eating breakfast?

Okay, fine. Ummm... I'm in home.

At home!

Oh, God damn it. I hate prepositions!

Look, can I just say "I'm home"?

Yes!

Cool! Okay, with "at"...

"I'm at home"?

Yes.

Cool.

"I'm at my home"?

No! No! No! It's not necessary to say the possessive "my" with "home."

So say, "At my house."

Go talk to Cartoon Aly. I'm done.

He's angry.

Hello, Cartoon Aly!

Hello.

Where are you?

Where am I? I'm here!

And where is "here"?

I don't know. "At" the coffee shop.

Wait. "In" the coffee shop?

Which one should I use? "At" or "in"?

Are you inside?

Yes.

Then say "in" the coffee shop!

Okay, but how about "At the coffee shop"?

Yes.

What? Why? What's the difference?

"In" means you're inside, "at" means the general area of the place.

Inside, outside, doesn't matter.

So... okay.

Oh! So, okay. Now I'm outside the coffee shop.

But I'm still "at" the coffee shop, right?

Exactly!

Woohoo!

Cartoon Aly understands prepositions!

And...

So, here. Now I'm "on" the coffee shop, right?

Exactly.

You're on top of the coffee shop, so "on".

And which city?

I'm "at" London!

Nope!

But... but it's London!

You said it doesn't matter if it's inside or outside.

It's the general area.

I'm "at" London!

Well, yes, but...

not with cities, towns, or countries.

Why? Why is English so weird?

I'm sorry.

Okay, I think I get it now.

I'm not in the coffee shop, but I'm "at" and also "on" the coffee shop "in" London, right?

Exactly!

Thank you.

Not finished!

- What? Where is this coming from? Okay. - More prepositions!

The gym.

- At the gym, in the gym? - "At" and "in".

Well, both is fine. That's fine. Okay, next one.

Office

I'm in the office, I'm at the office. You can use both.

- Right? - Yes!

Cool! Awesome! Next one, throw it at me!

- Party. - Okay, I am in the party.

- At the party. - I'm "at" the party, fine. Next one.

Something that you don't have, class.

- I'm at class. In class. Okay, I'm "in" class. - Stupid man, "in" class.

I'm in class, not I'm at class.

And I'm "at" the party or I'm "at" a party,

but I'm not "in" a party. That sounds weird.

Lighting Round

The city

I'm in the city.

The market.

The beach

I'm at the beach or on the beach.

At the park or in the park.

Congratulations!! You learned all the prepositions.

Okay, so I'm "at" Trafalgar Square,

but also I'm "in" Trafalgar Square.

English is weird.
