prepositional

"In" and "at"

Prepositional describes something relating to or functioning as a preposition—the class of words like *in*, *on*, *at*, *by*, and *through* that show relationships between other words.

A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition and its object: under the bridge, after the movie, with great enthusiasm.
