Thank you guys for stopping by to view this post.
My english is still bad today because of my laziness to practise and learn new vocabs everyday. So please someone help me with this.
1. Which one is the suitable one for this sentence?
I’m (at or in or on) your side.
Btw how I can distinguish the use of at, in, and on easily? I had asked some of our friends here about it. But it seemed that I were too stupid so I can’t get the explanation right.
2. “She’s sitting around with me and my father talking about her trip to paris.”
Can we use talk to replace talking?
3. “I’ll be paying it tomorrow.”
“I’ll pay it tomorrow.”
what’s the different of these two sentences in meaning?
Many thanks for your great explanation friends.

Thanks mystery for replying.
1. So in what meaning I can used at school, on school and in school? I still couldn’t grab the concept.
2. Shouldn’t we add any “to be” before talking (verb + ing) as a verb?
3. So they two don’t have any differences in meaning at all?

2. I mean in present continues which uses verb + ing, the pattern is: subject + to be + verb ing + object.
So the sentence would be like this : ... me and my father are talking about her trip …
