"At, In, On" I don't know how to use these preposition appropriately. When I'm writting in English, I always think which way is the best to use following prepositions. At, In, On For example: I work as a secrately at my company. I work as a secretaly in my company. I work as a secretaly on my company. I think there has almost same meaning. I want to know what are different of there words? And I want to get example within these prepositions.

As I know those prepositions can be referred to some indications.they are place and time. First, preposition of location /place. At : this preposition indicates that noun follows it is treated as a point in relation to which another object is positioned. for examples : 1. I am waiting for my girlfriend at the bus stop. 2. They arrived at the house. On: this preposition indicates the location of noun is defined with respect to surface on which it rests. for examples: 1. They're playing football on the field.(not enclosed) 2. The cat is on the table. In : this preposition indicates that noun is confined in an area. for examples: 1. I live in that building. 2. The two boxers are in the ring (enclosed by ropes) Second, preposition of time. at: He comes to class at 7.00 am. We usually have lunch at noon. in: He studies English in the afternoon. We usually have coffee in the morning. on: We'll meet John on Sunday morning. I will have my vacation on this Monday.
