Vincent Teo There is a snake at the coop.Since the coop is an enclosure, eg. for chickens, if the snake is closely approaching, he is at the coop. Once he passes through the "chicken wire," or "chain link fence," he is in the coop, with the chickens.

If you don't have a firm understanding in using prepositions by now, no one can learn that for you, except yourself.
Remember, by changing a prep. it alters the meaning but it does not mean the sentnence is wrong, just a little different that all.
Imppressions:
He is sleeping at the table = His is sleeping on his a
