I need your help once more. When you are reading a book and you want to say how many chapters you �ve read so far, which preoposition is correct: I �m on /at /in chapter ten. Thanks in advance for your always helpful answers.
As an American, I would say I �m on Chapter 3 if I had read all of Chapters 1 and 2 and some of Chapter 3 but not all of it.
I would say I �m up to Chapter 3 if I had read all of Chapters 1 and 2 but not any of Chapter 3. And exception to this would be if I said, "I �m up to the end of Chapter 3." which would mean that I had read all the way up to the very end (or almost the very end) of Chapter 3.
I believe at only works for British English and means the same as up to.
To clarify you can also say "I �ve read all the way up to Chapter 3, but I haven �t started it yet."
