    Most commonly, you would use the word 'in' when entering a physical location or you are in a physical location such as a room or a building.

    Here are some examples:

    1. I am in the shower.
    2. I am in the lobby.
    3. I was in the lobby.
    4. He was in the shower.
    5. He is in a car.
    6. He is in a house.
    7. They are in a school.

    ♦Using the word 'at' helps tell someone where you currently are. The difference between 'at' and 'in' is that the physical location is general.

    Here are some examples:

    1. I am at the grocery.
    2. I am at the mall.
    3. I am at the doctor's office.
    4. He is at the park.

    Here are some examples:

    1. I am at the mall.
    2. I am in the mall.
    3. He is at the park.
    4. He was in the park.
    5. I am at the grocery.
    6. I am in the grocery.

    ♦Using the word 'on' is referring to a non physical location such as your time being utilized by something else.

    Here are some examples:

    1. I am on the phone.
    2. I am on my computer.
    3. I am on a bus.
    4. He is on computer.
