in school? at school?
0 Hi! 02 br
02 br
00 I've always thought that one says 01 i 00 at school 02 i 00 and not 01 i 00 in school 02 i 00 ... However, this sentence comes from Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English: 02 br
02 br
01 i 00 "Sandra's not in school today" 02 i 02 br
02 br
00 Would there by a difference in meaning if I said 01 i 00 at school 02 i 00 rather than 01 i 00 in school 02 i 00 01 i 00 ? 02 br
02 br
02 i 00 thanks, best wishes, 0-

0 To me, both are correct but with different meanings. If someone ask me where my kid is, I would say "He's at school". 0-

0 Both prepositions are correct. 01 i 00 In 02 i 00 is used quite a lot in American English: 01 i 00 What did you learn at/in school today? 02 i 02 br
