Grammar
at vs on - page
0 Hello there... 02 br
02 br
00 Do we say : at page 15 or on page 15 and, if both, is there any difference? 02 br
02 br
00 By the way - do we need "the" between at/on <the> page 15? or it's unecessary? My guess would be that "the" is needed since we define which page we have in mind - page 15... still, I've come across sentences with "page" and without "the"... Dunno... 02 br

00 In the U.S., I'd say "Open your books TO page 15" and "The information you're looking for is ON page 15." But as I recall, in other countries, "at" is used. Perhaps someone can find that other thread and provide a link to it? 02 br

00 I assume then, that I cannot say "Open your books ON page 15" and that "on" is used only in the sense like this one "the information is given on page 15" etc. 02 br
