Hi Linguaphiles,
this is a question for native speakers of English.
Please, consider the following pairs of sentences and share your ideas as to whether both sentences in each pair sound natural and if they do what the difference is (if there is any). Please, if possible, indicate your variety of English. Thank you!
1.a. We talked about it at a meeting.
1.b. We talked about it in a meeting.
2.a. She works at a school.
2.b. She works in a school.
3.a. The performance was at a palace.
3.b. The performance was in a palace.
4.a. They prayed at a church.
4.b. They prayed in a church.
P.S. If you could recommend some good and comprehensive online resources dealing with this aspect of grammar (for advanced learners), I would appreciate it very much.
