In a moment= very soon: ‘I have to go in a moment.’
At that moment= at that particular time: ‘Just at that moment the telephone rang.’
When you are telling a story or reporting what happened, use at that moment: ‘At that moment the car skidded on the ice and went off the road.’
At the moment= now; at the present time: ‘At the moment I’m working in a restaurant.’ ‘She is studying at the moment.’
The moment= (WITHOUT at) = as soon as: ‘He fell in love with Samantha the moment he set eyes on her.’
