Hi

"at Main street/Street"
"on Main street/Street"

Do I have to write "street" with a capital letter? How about "at" and "on"?
thank you

If Street is part of the name, a proper noun, it needs a capital letter.

The name says it all.

I mainly hear of at when talking about intersections:

The church located at Main Street and Abbey Road ...

AT a specific address or intersection. You pinpoint - AT this particular address - I live at 321 Main Street.

ON in a way related somehow to a street, but no specific location is given - I've heard it on the street, I live on Main Street.

That is absolutely right, too.
