If you’re referring to the broader themes, for example talking about how a story resolves, ‘in the end’ would be appropriate, but if you want to identify a location in the book, such as where information can be found, then ‘at the end’ would be appropriate.

Hi Axl, I’m not really aware of the best books specifically for vocabulary building but what I would typically recommend would be to find non-specific books that you enjoy which you can read and pick up new words from (also certain newspapers are good for this). But other than that I would say merely read as much as possible and make note of the new words you learn!

At in all these examples refers to a specific time or location; in refers to being inside a general area. At the end is used to point to the end as a specific point in time, whilst in the end is used, more idiomatically, to talk about a general “end” zone: the summary or conclusion.

Yes you’re absolutely right – natural use of prepositions is often done without much thought into it and the “at the weekend”/”on the weekend” is a great example of how language shifts between different regions. And definitely, American English and Americanisms are quite common in the UK thanks to media exposure, but British English is not necessarily as well understood in America.

hello sir, thank you for the explanations I am glad I now knew what the differences are of these two, anyways can I ask what books to read if you wanna learn deep English words, coz I’m having fun learning them

I’m not an English native speaker and I did not study English, but I write exciting stories in English. Presently, I want to learn how to speak casual English the way native speakers do.

Simply put, at the end refers to a specific time or location, whilst in the end is an idiomatic phrase that means in conclusion or in summary. However, the difference between at the end and in the end shows one of the main differences between use of the prepositions at and in.

Finally, I understand. TY. My guess is that finally and at last mean the same thing. When something happens at the end of a process where we have been growing impatient, we say finally or at last.

Hi, In this case, no, “in the end” would not be appropriate – “at the end of the year” would be more appropriate as it refers to a point of time.

Hi Danar, sorry for the slow response – yes, if you’re connecting it to something then it is “at the end of [something]”. The exception would be if the [something] is understood but not stated, for example when we use “at the end” following an already understood ending: “We ran around the complete race course. There was a finish line at the end.” (to be understood as “at the end of the race course”).

At the end of the day and In the end, can both be used idiomatically to mean ‘in conclusion’. But At the end, and In the end of the day, are both incorrect – because the rules that make them different (above), also tell you how to form the idioms:

Yes, that’s fine. Though generally speaking we can end sentences with most types of words depending on the circumstances (even prepositions; the rules that say you shouldn’t aren’t really helpful).

Very clear . Thank you so much ! I was struggling with this for quite a long time ,but you made it clear for me with your explanation. While I was reading the replies and comments , I came across the phrase “ read books in all areas” and asked myself whether it could be said “ books of all areas” or “ books from all areas”. Prepositions always confuse me. Can you explain this for me, please. I would appreciate it very much. Be blessed!

There is a tendency to use prepositions in the real world without giving much thought. I was brought up using specific words I later found to be incorrect. Colloquial is not academic, so that is why grammar sites such as yours come in handy. However, American English is different. Americans will say “in school” whilst we say “at school” or “On the weekend” instead of “At the weekend. Nowadays you can get both even in the British language. This is probably because of the global distribution of American series and films on TV. Thanks for clarifying this issue. I’m sure international students will find this extremely helpful.Thanks for posting.

Hi, can you help me, I know at the end is for location and period but in my sentence I have used in the end. Is it that much wrong. “9 books for the time being. I’m excited to see the result in the end of the year.”

Please find the queries given in/at the end of the document. Kindly let me know which is the correct usage in the above sentence

Hi Haruna, honestly the best way to learn native English for writing would be to read as much as possible. This is true for native speakers too! Reading books in all areas greatly expands writing skills.

This would need more context really. If you let me know which you think is correct, or the confusion with the difference, I can help you with the reasoning.

Thank you very much for your instructions and continuous support by sending english lessons into my e-mail. New year is coming soon, best wishes for a happy and successful new year Mr. Phil Williams.

Hi Chu, yes you technically could – with ‘in the end’, as it can simply be emphatic. For a present event it would probably refer to a past time, e.g.

These sentences could be taken literally (meaning exactly what it says) or figuratively (using the general idiomatic meaning). If you are unsure about how to apply the prepositions, even in idioms, thinking about the grammatical use of the words can help you decide. If you have any questions, please ask in the comments, and if you found this useful, please share it!

Hi Asya, You’re welcome. Yes, prepositions like this can be tricky, and it can depend somewhat on regional use. For your example, in some cases there would be little difference between reading books “in all areas” and “from all areas”; both meaning to cover a range of topics (though “from” might also be used to suggest a particular origin, depending on context). “of all areas” I think would be less common, as “of” would more comfortably fit with types, “books of all types/subjects”. You might also use “on”, such as “books on all subjects”!
