Lcchang  +  486914 Mon, 10 Mar 08 09:39 AM May I ask some questions here. When I tell people that I have a job at some place, should I say... "I work at a restaurant." or "I work in a restaurant."? Does it depends on the article I use? If it is "a", that means I don't specify the place, so I say "in a restaurant". But if I tell people the name of the restaurant I work for, I must say "I work at ABC restaurant." Is it correct.? What about the following sentences. Please correct them for me. Thanks. I work at the airport. I work in an airport. I work at the bookstore. I work in a bookstore.       Lcchang Joined on Mon, Feb 27 2006 Northern Taiwan Contributing Member 1,078 Life will never end.

If you want to emphasize that you are always indoors when you work there, you could say I work in the airport. You could use the indefinite article (a/an) if there are several airports. If you mention a company, the preposition is often for: I work for China Airlines.
