Hello everybody,

Could someone please explain to me the difference between 'at' and 'on' and 'have' and 'has' and give me some examples when to use them.

Thank you in advance.

That's a very tall order!

Could you please write some sentences with which you have problems?

Did you mean the difference between 'at' and 'in'?

As for have / has, use 'has' in the third person singular and 'have' in all the others.
You have a nice car.
He has a nice car.

Interrogative and negative (always use 'have'):
Do you have a nice car?
Does he have a nice car?
You don't have a nice car.
He doesn't have a nice car.


Interrogative and negative are different with 'have got':
You have got a nice car. - Have you got a nice car? - You haven't got a nice car.
He has got a nice car. - Has he got a nice car? - He hasn't got a nice car.


Hope it helps.
