Grammar: Preposition

Question:

Fill in the following sentence with suitable preposition:-

"Abhishek lives _____ 45, Dhauladhar Street."

Options:

in

over

at

on

Correct Answer:

at

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → at

Here's why:

  • We use "at" with an address to specify a location or a building number on a street.
  • In contrast, "in" is used for general locations like cities, states, or countries.
  • "Over" is typically used for positions above something or across something else.
  • "On" can be used with streets in contexts like "living on a quiet street" but not for specifying a building number.

Therefore, "at 45, Dhauladhar Street" is the most natural way to express an address with a building number.
