在英语中什么情况下地方前用on/in/at

Question

比如：she is ______newyork

Answer 1

介词的时间用法：

时间点用 at - at 5 o'clock, at noon

时间段用 in - in 1997, in the afternoon, in the weekend

但若是星期几之前用 on - on Monday, on Friday, on Saturday evening

介词的空间用法：

准确的地点用 at - at the front desk, at my desk, at the entrance

在里面用 in - in his office, in the conference room, in the taxi

在上面用 on - on the bus, on the train, on the 8th floor （on 的概念是在上面可以走来走去的）
你的那个例：可以用in 也可以用at
