Answer:

E.g. I will meet him at 2pm. ** ** = the time stated is very exact or specific**.**

E.g. I will meet you at the library. = the exact place you will meet.

You can also use at to describe where two lines cross or intersect such as two roads that cross or a corner.

E.g. I will meet you at highway 1. and Corfield St. = where these two roads cross each other.

E.g. Meet me at the corner of Corfied road and Murray St.= where these two streets connect or join at a corner.

We can also use in to talk about time and place.

E.g. I will see him in January.

E.g. I will see him in the new year .(or in 2018).

E.g. Put the piano in the corner. = used to show a specific location within a house.

E.g. Please meet me in the library. = in refers to inside the library and at generally refers to meeting outside at the entrance (although English speakers can use both to mean the inside).

As you can see, some of these functions are logical while others have to be committed to memory. These are only a few uses and examples.

Also remember that some prepositions form part of a phrasal verb structure and don't function on their own and this confuses learners.

E.g. Please drop in when you have time. drop in = please visit

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

I am sorry but I can't come to your class any more because I have to return to my country. My sister is going to get married this month. I want to go shopping with her to choose a dress. My parents are going to make a big meal for the guests and there will be a lot of work in the kitchen.

I'm sorry I must leave the English class. You are a very good teacher. Please say goodbye to the other students for me.

Thanks again,

Best wishes,

What is the resolution in Enrique journey?
Alika [10]
I believe the plot resolution occurs when Enrique and his mother are reunited. The two believe their reunion will result in what they've dreamed about, but all too soon reality sets in. Enrique cannot find it within himself to appreciate the sacrifices his mother made for him, and he in turn, is disappointed.
