Preposition At/in/on: They're all expert at/in/on this field Mon Sep 04, 2006 5:43 am  Preposition At/in/on: They're all expert at/in/on this field
 

Dear teachers,

Please read:

1. They're all expert at/in/on this field.
2. He's expert at/in/on making cheap.

Do you choose "at", "in" or "on" for each sentence? For each sentence, all are possible and interchangeable? If not, how to distinguish when using "at", when using "in" , when using "on"?

Thanks Sir,

But what does "one short" mean? It's an expression?
