IN or AT?
"There are tigers at the zoo." I read it from a book the other day. And I wondered...
Can I say "There are tigers in the zoo?"
And what is the difference between them?

Great question! Yes, you can say ‘There are tigers in the zoo.’
‘At the zoo’ - means they are at the place (in this case zoo).
‘In the zoo’ - means they are inside the zoo, inside the place called the zoo.
Very similar, a small difference but you could say either.
Hope that helps.
