Ever been in a situation where both ‘in the night’ and ‘at night’ seemed correct but you knew only one of them was appropriate? Or you knew which of them to use but couldn’t say why? Well, we’ve all been there at some point.

For the record, ‘night’ in this context is the dark part of every 24-hour period.

Now, this is the simple answer we’ve tried to figure out:

In the night

We use ‘in the night’ when we refer to a particular point during the night—a short time, not throughout the night.

Examples:

1. He called me three times in the night just to make sure I was fine.
2. He let out a terrifying scream in the night.
3. We didn’t know what to do, so we decided to tell him in the night.
4. I watched two episodes of Strike Back in the night.

At night

This is the expression we use when we talk about something that happens all of the night, not for a short time.

Examples:

1. He slept during the day and guarded the castle at night.
2. Can the sun replace the moon at night?
3. I usually study at night when my exams are only two days away.
4. How difficult is it to sleep at night?

To recap, ‘in the night’ means ‘only for a short time during the night’, while ‘at night’ means ‘throughout the night’.

Thanks Sire, Nice 1

Benyinka:

Mumu children everywhere.

This is why I joined nairaland...

Thanks op

Phi001:

Wait... Lemme rephrase my question.


What's the answer to 'Where are you (at)?'

(A) I'm in Ikeja (B) I'm at Ikeja

The difference between 'at' and 'in' is that you use "in" when entering a physical location. E.g

In the building
In the mall
In classroom.

So you can have: I m IN the office AT Ikeja

deepwater:
What about "FOR NIGHT"

Example: The babe come my house for might

babe....I want you tonight

Tastemoney:


"In Ikeja" is the correct phrase

So then it's safe to inquire Phi001 coordinate by saying "where are you in?"... Right!

femliany:
AT is used for a city or town but IN is used for a country or a state

Eg: I live at London. lol

Phi001:

What's the answer to 'Where are you (at)?'

(A) I'm in Ikeja (B) I'm at Ikeja

In your case, 'in' is the correct preposition. Because Ikeja is a popular city.

'in' is used when you refer to a country or a popular city. Whereas, when referring to a less known place, you use at.
An exemption to this rule however, is, if you were going to a particular place and you take a stop at another, even if it's a country, you use 'at'. For example, on my way to Benin, we stopped at Ibadan for lunch.

Sincere4u:
Thanks a lot for this OP.
English and maths used to be two of my favourite subjects as a student.
Whereas i practised maths regularly to maintain an A+, i hardly pick any book to study English in preparing for any Exam yet it often tops my scores among other subjects.
These days, many years since graduation, the story has changed so drastically as both my spoken and written English has have nosedived!.
Today spelling mistakes no be here.

You still have to work on your oral and verbal English sha!

Fifthcolumnist:


Eg: I live at London. lol

This is wrong.

'in' is the correct preposition
