Preopsitions of place: in, at
Howdy,
A student of minie has asked me the following things:
1) Why do we have to say "at home" and "in a hotel" instead of "at (a) hotel" ? Can we say "I'm at a/the hotel" ?
2) Can we say "in front of" meaning "opposite" ?
Thanks,

anglista2008Can we say "in front of" meaning "opposite" ? Thanks,
I just can't picture how that is possible. If I told you: Let's meet in front of Macy's at Union Square.
you won't look for me across the street, or would you?

Easy, Dimsum. A common native exchange:
A: Where's the convenience store?
B: It's in front of the bank.
Perhaps more common than 'opposite' for many native speakers.
