At is not correct here. I suggest you use on or during.

The verb usage is not correct. I suggest you say I have worked. Also, you need the definite article the before hospital. Since is used perfectly.

I have worked at the hospital since 2007.

I had been in Dublin three years ago.

Instead of three years ago, you should for for three years.

I had been in Dublin for three years.

Make sure you use the definite article the before bus station. Instead of at ten to eight, say from ten to eight.

This week I work from Monday till Friday.

Good. Keep in mind till and until can be interchanged.

Answer 2

I will be "there" in an hour.

We could all meet together "this weekend".

"I have been" working at the hospital ....

I "lived in" Gothenburg....

I "was in" Dublin....

Youhave to stay at the bus station __________________? I can't determine what you meant to say here.

I hope this helps.

• why not `here´ in first sentence ? prepostion wise I used `at the weekend´. In the last ten to eight means 7:50 - Reema Jan 1, 2012

Answer 3

You need to be at the bus station at ten till eight.

But I am just as confused with the statement : "I will be in a congress until Thursday."

Answer 4

But I am just as confused with the statement : "I will be in a congress until Thursday."

A congress could be a meeting.

I guess it could mean that he would be tied up in meetings until Thursday.

• yes, congress means meeting. - Reema Jan 1, 2012
