Whenwhere is used to refer to a point of origin, the prepositionfrom is required: Where did she come fromô When it is used to refer to a point of destination,the prepositionto is generally superfluous: Where is she goingô ( preferable toWhere is she going toô ). When it is used to refer to the place at which an event or a situation is located,the use ofat is widely regarded as regional or colloquial: Where is the stationô (not Where is the station atô ). The idiomatic phrasewhere it`s at, widely used in the 9'0`s to refer to .the current state of things,. is now largely passô, except when used for stylistic effect:
當where 被用來指起源方面時， 介詞from 就需要用上： 她從哪裡來ô 當它被用來指目的地時，介詞to 就通常是多餘的： 她要去哪裡ô ( 比起她要向哪裡去ô 更可取）。 當它被用來指事件所發生的場合或一種局面形勢所處的地方時，使用at 則被廣泛認作是地區性的或口語化的： 車站在哪裡ô （而不是 車站位於什麼地方ô )。 慣用語短語where it`s at 在20世紀'0年代廣泛被用來指.事情的當前狀態.，現已很大程度上過時了， 除非當我們用它來加強文體效果：
例句：
.Generally, I knew where he was at, but couldn`t always tell where he was coming from. (Robert M. Adams).See Usage Note at why
.通常來說，我知道他在什麼地方，但我卻不總能說出他從哪裡來. （羅伯特·M·亞當斯）參見 why
