Collect in / at / from

Which is correct?


Every morning, Susan would go to the barn to feed the cows. Meanwhile, her sister would help to collect eggs from / at / in the coop.

  

Top answer

I wouldn't use 'at'. If she was entering the coop and was physically within it, 'in' would possibly make sense but it's not natural. I would use 'from'.
