In, on or at a website?

The correct grammar use is ON a website. Because ON is used when referring to a surface. A website can be considered a surface of the internet. For example: I read it on a website. The game is on the website. The image on the website shows...

If you are talking about a specific section inside the website, then you may use IN the website. For example: I read it in the comment section. The game is in the menu. The image in the article shows...

You may also use OFF of a website, although this is more casual and less grammatically correct: I took the information off of the website. I got it off the website. I read it off the website.

Hope that helps!

For media, the preposition "on" is the only correct one !

I am sorry I don't give explanations like this on the fly otherwise there will never be an end to them.You see, you are not the only person out there who needs information and it would not be fair to other people who need information like you. Then they would be asking questions and expecting answers for free. My advice to you is to sign up for a course or for some lessons.

I don't think "in" a website is correct, as it is a virtual space. U don't even say "in" the radio, it is usually "on" the radio, on TV, on a website. However, if u are referring to a website's "address" as it is kind of a "place" now, u would say visit us "at" the website, its address or URL.

A preposition is a word or group of words used to link nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence.

IN Use in when something is located inside of a defined space. It could be a flat space, like a yard, or a three-dimensional space, like a box, house, or car.

There is water in the glass

The preposition 'at' is used when referring to buildings as locations in a city.

I will meet you at 12 p.m.

ON Use on when something is touching the surface of something.

The book is on the table.

The preposition 'to' is used as an infinitive of purpose to mean 'in order to'.

I spent some money (in order) to get some help

~The correct answer here is "on a website"

It's a whole new world and rules can a bit fluid especially when dealing with ESL speakers. "Mary has developed a website which I find very interesting. On her website, you will find interesting articles and tips regarding cultural nuances of language. If you would like to know more, you can find these articles at: www:maryswebsite.com." Hope that gives you a little better insight as to the proper use of prepositions in this case.

The use of prepositions for new nouns is fascinating because they evolve from previous language patterns about similar items. The internet is a great example.

The language for computers and devices are based on technology and books.

Examples

I turn 'on' the computer because I push a button that allows electricity to move inside the device. (Similar to "I turn on a light.")

I look 'at' * the screen because it is an item with clear boundaries. (Similar to "I look at the page in the book." )

I see the text 'on' the screen. (Similar to "I see the text on the page.") Ink is not 'in' the paper but instead attached to the outside of the paper. Thus the preposition is 'on' and not 'in'. Despite the text displayed by a computer being produced from inside the screen with lights, the prepositions follow the same grammar patterns as books because this technology was an evolution of books.

Modern language is receptive to creating new nouns (blog) and verbs (googling), but routinely defaults to historical patterns for other grammar structures.

This same book-related language is used when talking about the internet and apps.

Examples

We open the browser. (Similar to "we open a book.")

They used <H5> 'in' the code to make a heading. (Similar to "they used the word 'the' in the text.")

Now that the language pattern has been identified it makes the answer to your question logical; the preposition "on" is used when describing text or an image that is on a page [website]. (Similar to "the picture is on the page in the book.")

I find understanding the patterns behind grammar helpful for many students, especially since other languages may conceptualize this entity differently. I have had students who think about the internet as a physical space and default to using space-related prepositions such as 'in'. Attempting to fix their errors by memorizing the words often results in frustration as their mental image does not match the pattern. Once they understand the evolution of the prepositions from books to website pages, the errors quickly decrease.

*Side note: 'Look at' is an idiom, but I included it because the preposition within the phrase follows the pattern I was trying to highlight.

The group publishes all its reports on its website.

Prepositions can be tricky sometimes. According to the search results, the correct preposition to use with a website is on. This is because we think of a website as a surface that we can navigate or interact with. For example, you can say:

I saw your comment on the website.

You can find more information on the website.

I posted a new article on the website.

Using in or at with a website is incorrect. In implies an area or volume of something, and at implies a particular point. For example, you can say:

I found the book in the library.

She works at the hospital.

I hope this helps you understand the difference between the prepositions for a website.

The correct one is “ On a website.” Book a trial lesson with me and I’ll explain how we use each preposition.

The choice of preposition when referring to a website can depend on the context and the specific phrase or sentence you're constructing. Here are some general guidelines:

1. "In a website": Use "in" when you are referring to specific content or information contained within a website. For example:

- "You can find a lot of information in the articles on that website."

- "I read an interesting article in a website about space exploration."

2. "On a website": Use "on" when you are discussing information or features that are accessible or available on a website. For example:

- "The contact information is on the website."

- "You can watch the video on the company's website."

3. "At a website": Use "at" when you are specifying the location or web address (URL) of a website. For example:

- "You can find the report at the website's address: www.example.com."

- "I looked at the information at the official website."

Keep in mind that these prepositions can be used somewhat interchangeably in many cases, and the choice may depend on personal style or preference. However, the distinctions above can help you choose the most appropriate preposition based on the specific context and the aspect of the website you are discussing.
