Again about preposition.
I know people use both:
to work at
to work in
I read some grammar books saying about strict using of
prep =AT= in this case and for a long time I have been teaching my
students to say "I �m an actress and work at the Bolshoy.
Then I realized we could use prep In as well.
I �m sure clever teachers and native speakers know more..
Could you share with me?I �m curious to know.

I would say:
� �I work at River Bell Textiles � � for the place of employment and
� �I work in sales at River Bell Textils in Hamilton. � � for position of employment and city. |
