Are you talking about prepositions of place or prepositions of time?

For prepositions of time we use "in" for years, months, seasons, and with "the morning/the afternoon/the evening." �We use "at" for clock times ("3:00"), Holiday seasons ("at Christmas"), unofficial times, like "bedtime" or "lunchtime" and with "night."

For prepositions of place it �s a little more difficult. �What I always tell my students is that "in" is more specific than "at." �For example, if you are waiting for your friend outside a store, you say, "he is in the store," because you know specifically that is where he is. �If you are at your house and your friend said he was going to the store you say, "he is at the store," because he might be in the store, or in the parking lot, or near the store, or next to the store, etc.- you don �t know if he is technically in the store.

Hope this crazy long explanation is useful!
