English grammar

"In" implies a place.
But,"at" implies a certain place.

In the sentences above, "at"should be followed by "the + place".
Also, I suggest you noticing those phrasal verbs like "arrive at".
It is a fixed collocaion which you have to bear (it) in mind since it reminds
you a certain place.

如果是較大地方用 in 較細的用 at 那應該用什麼原則去解釋以下兩句, Chinese restaurant 和 fast food shop 同是較細的地方, 那為什麼一個用 in 另一個用 at ?

We had lunch in a Chinese restaurant at three o'clock.

We had dinner at a fast food shop in Central.

通常大地方 (例如國家, 城市) 用 IN
in China, in Hong Kong, in Tai Po

較細地方 (例如餐廳, 戲院, 銀行...) 用AT
at the cinema, at the bank, at the bus stop

例外:
1) 如果講鐵路沿線, 地方一般用返AT
the train will not call at Shatin (火車不停沙田站)

2) 如要強調在建築物裡面, 用IN
I saw John in the library last night (圖書館內)
但: Let's meet at the library (maybe outside the library, or somewhere near the library)







2010-06-12 20:19:34 補充：
其實兩句都可以用 in 或 at.
我所指較大既地方, 例子有國家 (in China), 區域 (in Mongkok)
較細既地方, 可以係其他 (at the restaurant, at the library...)
