Hello Locika, Your feeling is correct! Consider another preposition. What preposition do you usually use, to identify a time or place?

Hello Locika,

Your feeling is correct!

Consider another preposition. What preposition do you usually use, to identify a time or place?

Here are some clues:

1. I met my friend ___ the station.

2. I met my friend ___ 5 o'clock.

3. I studied German ___ school.

Best wishes,

Aha! So, be at the dentist.

I thought my problem is "still" .. At three pm I will be still at the dentist. But it looks like it is ok.

thanks MrP

You're welcome!

But I think you're right about "still" too: it would be much more usual before "be", i.e.

1. At 3pm, I'll still be at the dentist.

All the best,

MrP
