It would be better if you wrote some sentences and we can help with the right prepositions.

The literal use is as follows:
Use in to indicate enclosure in a three-dimensional volume.
in the room, in the house, in the garage, in the store, in the kitchen, in the bottle, in the box

Use in also to indicate a position on a two-dimensional surface that is inside of a boundary.
in the region, in the garden, in the meadow, in the courtyard
