At and in

Question

ok so i have a problem with this two guys,so let's begin ,i know that "at" means target for example,look at it,and "in "for something that is inside ,but,in this sentence,i graduated in SA school,or should i say i graduated at SA school,

how do i know when is correct to use either at or in?

"im happy at my new school /or im happy in my new school?

thanks for advice ,thanks

' at ' also means ' in front of the building '

we say I graduated ' at ' SA school.

How about ' I am happy ' with ' my new school ' ?

Suzi · Answer

I say "I graduated from Manchester University!"

I think "at" would be ok!
"In" sounds a bit odd.

Whl626 · Answer

I've come across a grammar book that it says ' graduated from ' and ' was graduated at ', what do you guys think ?

eg. I graduated from Manchester University or

I was graduated at Manchester University ?

But I am on the same wavelength with suzi that ' graduated from ' is good to use

ok thanks guys,but can anyone explain me more or less when to use the"at" for example in the senteces i'm happy at my new school,what i want to say is that i'm happy being at my new school,i mean in my new school or at my new school,man im confused

an another question ,would i say,the only thing that i did was confusing me.Or the only thing that it did was confuse me?

thanks in advance

Whl626 · Answer

being is the present participle of verb to be ' am ' to means you are at your school all along.

why the use of ' at ' is suitable because in also means inside the building whereas ' at ' refers to the position of something you mention.

The only thing that I did was confusing me. ( correct )

The only thing ( subject )

that I did ( adjective clause )

was confusing ( past participle )

me ( object )

It fits to a T to a correct English structure
