When to use “in”, “on” and “at”

Question

I’m not a native speaker and I started English classes in school later than everyone else, so I started in 4th grade when everyone else has already 3 years of learning the basics, and since these are really basic words I never learned them in class

So, please, how do I know when to use each one? I can get by a bit as evidenced in this post, but a lot of times I get it wrong

Prepositions are completely brutal. There are some good tips here. Pity my poor naive self when I tried to impress upon ESOL learners the distinctions between “above” and “over”.
