in/at

I stay in / I stay at

hahahhaa tee's threads only have to do with propositions

come on........:)

It depends on what follows, like for instance

I stay in a hotel

I stay at home

A better example would be:

"I stay in the house."

"I stay at the house."

"At" simply refers to the location. "In" provides the additional information that you are "inside" something (e.g. a house).

Cf.

1. I'm at the Dorchester Hotel.
2. I'm in the Dorchester Hotel.

In #1, I might be inside or outside the hotel. In #2, I can only be inside.

Best wishes,
