use of prepositions?

Question

which is correct "in the warehouse" or "at the warehouse?"
thank you~!

Answer 1

Depends on how you use it. Say someone goes, 'Where are the good?' The reply would be 'In the warehouse.'.

If a person asks 'Where's Pete?' You would say 'At the warehouse.' Though technically 'In the warehouse' is alright too. But for me, 'At the warehouse' sounds more appropriate.

Answer 2

The context will decide which is better.

If you say "meet me at the warehouse", this suggests that the meeting will take place close to the building, and possibly inside.

If you say "meet me in the warehouse", you are specifying that the meeting will definitely be within the building.

Answer 3

The preposition and its object make up a prepositional phrase, which can be used to modify noun phrases and verb phrases in the same way as adjectives and adverbs, respectively. For example, in the sentence "He has a can of lemonade", the preposition is of, and its object is the noun lemonade. These combine to form the prepositional phrase of lemonade, which is used to modify the noun can, just like an adjective would. For a second example, in the sentence "The girl sat on the chair", the preposition is on and its object is the definite noun the chair. These combine to form the prepositional phrase on the chair, which modifies the verb sat, just like an adverb would.

Although the canonical object of a preposition is a noun phrase, there are cases in which another kind of phrase forms a preposition's object. For instance, in the sentence "Come out from under the bed", the object of the preposition from is another prepositional phrase, under the bed. Furthermore, according to some analyses, in the sentence "I opened the door before he walked in", before is not a conjunction but rather a preposition whose object is a full finite clause (he walked in).

In common speech, the object of a preposition may be implied. For instance, "Get in the car" may be shortened to "Get in." One school of thought believes that it is acceptable to treat prepositions as adjectives, nouns, or adverbs, in which case, the "in" in "Get in" acts as an adverb.

In some languages, including English, there exists a phenomenon known as preposition stranding, wherein a preposition may be separated from its object. In English, some people frown on this practice
