Learn English – Are both “see you at the lesson” and “see you in the lesson” correct

grammarprepositions

I have been studying English with many teachers. Some of them say "See you in the lesson" while others say "See you at the lesson." Yesterday, one of them told me that the correct way of saying it is "See you at the lesson."

Are both of them correct? If one (or both) of them is incorrect, please tell me why.

In American usage, both of these phrases are correct grammar, but they don't mean the same thing, and at is probably the intended meaning. At merely implies you and the teacher will be in the same place. In would be acceptable if your lesson were a performance, which in a classroom setting it might be. You might find this easier if we contrast "see you at the movie" with "see you in the movie".

Having said that, prepositions can behave rather arbitrarily and non-American usage may differ.
