Last week I promised to follow up on the discussion of ‘at’ and ‘in’ with some interesting expressions that you may find them in. By learning the whole expression you’ll also learn the grammar girls. As I’ve mentioned before, you can use vocabulary to learn about grammar and grammar to learn about vocabulary. Intermediate and Upper-Intermediate students shouldn’t really be separating the two. They should be escaping grammar rules and I should really be Grammar/Vocabulary Girl.
Here is an expression that use ‘at:’
If things are AT SEA, or ALL AT SEA, they are disorganized and chaotic. So, if you don’t organise your understanding of grammar into rules you might find yourself all at sea.
Here is an expression with ‘in:’
If something vanishes or disappears without trace, IT VANISHES INTO THIN AIR; no-one knows where it has gone. So Grammar Girl’s glasses have finished into thin air. You won’t see them in her picture any more.
I’ll finish this week with the answer to the question in the subject line, which is that Grammar Girl lives in the English City and not ‘at.
See you soon !
