Could anyone help me to answer this question about preposition of places and article usage?
If I don't mention street name so "in" is used "I live in the street."
When I mention a street name, which of the followings is more appropriate?
"I live on Twyford Street." or "I live in Twyford Street."

When I mention the name of a film, book,or song should I use "the" before them and the word "film","book", "song" after them. e.g: I have seen "Titanic" or "Titanic" film or the "Titanic".

Answer

I will always use "in", but I think "on" may be OK in American English.

You can just say the title "Titanic" or "the film/movie Titanic".

If you say "the Titanic", you are talking about the ship.
If you say "the titanic film", you are using "titanic" as an adjective (which is not very suitable with "film").

Just saying "Titanic" can mean the film or the ship.

Answer

You would use "at" for a specific address, ex:   ' i live at 45  River Street .
You would use "on" for no specific address, ex:  ' i live on River Street.
