    I believe if i will be more active online while expressing my opinion on wide variety of topics then my proficiency will improve. A necessity on learning language this is exactly my reason for joining various foreign communities. But I complain that I never rid of distinguishable accent while speaking two languages simultaneously. I realize I have to forget completely my native language to speak clearly.

    When to use at...
    To talk about location
    I am at school.
    She is at the bank.
    We are at home.
    They are at church.

    When talking about time.
    It's starting at 8pm.
    I will be there at 7:45pm.
    He is coming at 10am.
    We have a meeting at 2pm.
    They sleep at 10:30pm.

    Other times to use at.
    You can be good at this too.
    Look at the pretty house.
    Aim at your target.
    Don't laugh at my bad jokes.

    When to use in.
    To talk about location
    I am in the park.
    She lives in New York.
    We are in advertising.
    They are in the office.

    When talking about time.
    I was there in 2010.
    It happened in the past month.
    In was during the fall.
    We will meet in the afternoon.

    Other times to use in.
    You can write in English.
    She is in a good mood.
    We are not in trouble.
    They are in good health.

    When to use on.
    Talking about location
    It's located on Elm street.
    You can find it on the table.
    They are sitting on the grass.
    We are sitting on the couch.

    When talking about time.
    We celebrate Christmas here on December 25th.
    Will I see you on my birthday?
    He will be there on Saturday.
    The plane landed on time.

    Other times to use on.
    I saw it on television.
    I am on the phone.
    It is on sale because it's a holiday.
    It's on fire.

    Hopefully that helps or ask for clarification! I am ON my phone AT all times so I can help you IN case you need it

    Now about at school and in school.
    In my sentence I said, "I only teach English at school".
    I was talking it in terms of location here. I work at an educational institution. So when I am there then I teach. So it's me saying that I teach at a school. So if you are located at school or something is at school then you can say that to tell them it's at school. Someone could also say I teach in school. This would probably mean they attend the school for learning and work at the school as a tutor or something. Using in would require you to attend something like for learning.

    To say that you are in school is to say you are attending school to learn.
    I am in school.... Means you go there (as in attend school for learning.)
    I am in school.... Also means you are at the location (not necessarily learning in class now) of the school but because you attend school.

    Let me know if you have questions
    I hope it wasn't confusing.
