Where will you use this? The US and the UK use these prepositions differently.

It would be better if you wrote some sentences and we can help with the right prepositions.

The literal use is as follows:
Use in to indicate enclosure in a three-dimensional volume.
in the room, in the house, in the garage, in the store, in the kitchen, in the bottle, in the box

Use in also to indicate a position on a two-dimensional surface that is inside of a boundary.
in the region, in the garden, in the meadow, in the courtyard
