When to use 'at' or 'in' can be very confusing and sometimes either word can be used.
We can say "My sister is in the house" but we say "My sister is at home".
You can look at it this way: a home is more a place, not just a thing. A house/apartment is
more a thing. A person at home may not be in their house/apartment. They may be outside the house, perhaps in their yard or they may have taken a walk down the street. So we say at home, and we also say at work. |
