Hello everyone!

Are these sentences natural and are written in the way that you would phrase them?

1. The students are in the British Museum. 2. Last month they were at The National Gallery. There was an interesting exhibition there. 3. In two weeks they will be in The Tate Modern Gallery. They are lucky.

Do I understand correctly that I need to say

- to be at The National Gallery
but
- to be the Tate Modern Gallery.

Answer

Rather than saying they are/were/will be "in" or "at" the museums or the gallery, it would be more natural to describe their movement. After all, they probably weren't at the gallery for an entire month.

they've gone to / they went to / they're going to
