Hi!

(1) I have a question about what is the difference between "in the corner" and "at the corner".

(1) I also have a problem of the difference between saying "There are many people at the concert." and "There are many people in the concert."

Could anybody help me with it?
Many thanks in advance

I'm going to follow the old saying about a picture being worth a thousand words. These people are gathered "at" or "on" a corner. These children are sitting at a table "in" the corner.

My ear only accepts "at" the concert. You could say "in" the concert hall.
