Which preposition fits better: [in] or [at]
I have made up the four examples below.
(1a) I don't like to eat in restaurants.
(2a) I am in the office right now.
(3a) I am currently working in a tutoring center.
(4a) Every year, I spend a lot of time writing messages in Christmas cards.
My non-native English speaking friends prefer to use "at".
(1b) I don't like to eat at restaurants.
(2b) I am at the office right now.
(3b) I am currently working at a tutoring center.
(4b) Every year, I spend a lot of time writing messages at Christmas cards.
How do you know when to use which preposition? Many thanks.
