Grammar
in or at
should I say we will have a pic nic at the meadow or in the meadow?
Top answer
Both are fine, but probably 'in' would be viewed as best. 'at' the meadow gives extra prominence to the location (compared to the experience ); for example, you would say, 'meet me at the tree and I'll walk you to the road' - here meeting is not to experience the tree at all, it's just a location to do something else. 'in' is within the meadow, and gives more of an experience of what's around you.
