I was in the room

‘I was at the park’와 ‘I was in the park’, ‘I was at the hotel’와 ‘I was in the hotel’, ‘I was at the hospital’와 ‘I was in the hospital’ 중 어떤 표현이 맞는지 궁금해요. ‘at’과 ‘in’은 언제 사용해야 하나요?

일반적으로 특정 장소에 있다는 것을 표현할 때는 ‘at’을 사용합니다. 예를 들어, ‘I was at the park’, ‘I was at the hotel’, ‘I was at the hospital’ 등이 있죠. 그러나 ‘I was in the hospital’의 경우는 ‘병원에 입원했었다’는 의미로, 병원 안에 있다는 것을 강조하고 싶을 때 사용합니다. ‘in’을 사용하는 것이 적절한 경우는 이런 상황이에요.
