Students: Are you brave enough to let our tutors analyse your pronunciation?
"My birthday is in January". What happens when you specify the date?
what about when it comes to using these prepostions to specify a location?
For locations, ' at ' used for a small place in a larger area.

eg. I live ' at ' the D.R Park ' in ' Ipoh city.
Students: We have free audio pronunciation exercises.
Wouldn't you use "at" to tell us your address?
Nope, just an exampleEmotion: smile. But the city I mentioned is actually where I am living ' in '.
i noticed that you have written "Prepositions of Time" can you tell me more about Prepositions of Manner if there is any.

" With " is very commonly used I guess in terms of showing the manner.
