Usage of prepositions with a conjunction
The sentences are;
1. Where are you? - In London or In New York vs In London or New York.
2. Where are you? In office or at home?
Do I need to use a separate preposition before and after "or"? - if so, it's okay.
Or
does only one preposition work? - if that's the case, then it cannot be applied to the second sentence because we cannot say "in home".
Please help!
Thanks,
Harry

" are both OK. The second "in" should not have a capital, but I guess that was merely a typo. "In office" is wrong.

"In office" is wrong. You can say "In the office or at home?"
"In the office or home" is correct English, implying "In the office or in the home", but it breaks the idiom "at home" and does not fit the question "Where a
