Call on和call at的意思一樣，都是"拜訪""訪問"，但call on後接表示人的名詞或代詞，call at 後接表示地點或場所的詞語。試比較：
I called on the Smiths yesterday.
我昨天拜訪了史密斯一家人。
I called at the Smith's yesterday.
我昨天去了史密斯家。
I called on the doctor yesterday.
我昨天去拜訪了醫生。
I called at the doctor's yesterday.
我昨天去了醫務室。
另外，call on還可以"號召"，後面往往接動詞不定式作賓語補主語。如：
The headmaster called on the students to work harder.校長號召學生們更努力地學習。
