I have merged the threads - and deleted the three anonymous posts asking the same question.

1. You do not need to repeat your post, especially in such a short period of time.

2. Your question is terribly vague and often constitutes a complete lesson in English texts.

3. This is not the place to post your attachment, as cute as it may be. There are other places on the Internet where there are people just looking for things like that.

4. .We will be happy to help you out with questions that are less general.

Prepositions are really tough, and it's impossible to give you a rule that will simply work for you in all situations.

I'm afraid you're going to have to learn which prepositions to use in which situations individually.
