English Language & Usage Asked on December 9, 2020
Which prepositions should I need to use when giving an exact time and location?
For example, I want to say the meeting time is 11:32 and the location is Blah, and both are exact locations and time, so normally I would use at
for these,
Let’s meet at 11:32 at Blah
But it doesn’t sound much correct & natural.
Is using double at
in a single sentence correct? What is a better way of saying this?
Let's meet at the cafe at 3. (correct and normal)
Let's meet at 3 at the cafe. (correct and normal)

You may change the preposition according to the place and in fact it is usual in some cases to use another one than "at". If the precise spot is near the place and not in, the choice is not "in".
A city — "in" prefered
A public park — much more often "in"
Park — "in" or "at"
train station — "strictly "at"
A restaurant — "at" preferred but you can say "in"
School — "at" or "in"
Stadium — "at" much more common than "in"
River side — "by" is usual, "at" is not found and although it seems a reasonable possibility, it is not found.
Hill — "on" common, "at" rarer
Cafe — "at" preferred but "in" also used
