. 'At page' if you are indicating the entire text there; 'on page' if you are referencing a portion of that page. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Dear MM:
Refer to your explanation, is it right as following ? 1) To listen to a sermon at church, the pastor often asks believers 'take a look at Genesis, chapter 3 verse 3~5...it's on page xx' 2) 'The chapter 2 is at page from xx ~ xx' |

. No, Lee-- both of your sentences would be more natural with 'on'. Anyway, I am re-thinking my original advice. On is more usual in all cases, I imagine. My original assessment was based on such as:
I stopped reading at page 217. (The speaker is thinking only of the page itself, not of a point on the page)
I stopped reading on page 217. (The speaker is thinking of the page and a specific, though unmentioned, point on that page.) . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |
