Answer

"In the beginning" refers more to the whole beginning period, while "at the beginning" refers to a particular moment in time. You can see the difference more clearly when you compare sentences like "I was watching tv in the evening" and "I was watching tv at 10:00pm".

Answer

hi, I think " at the beginning" covers a much longer period while "at the beginning" is a precise moment
