<h1>Prepositions of time</h1>

Prepositions of time: “at”,”on” and “in”:

Our rule in order to use them is:

-“at” with clock time (at six o’clock)

-“on”with days of the week (on Monday) and dates (on June 26 )

-“in” with months of the year (in August) and years (in 2005).

Remember that in general use we pointed out that:

“at” to indicate a POINT

At the hairdresser’s/supermarket, at the end, at the office, at the party.

“in” for an ENCLOSED/DELIMITED SPACE .

 

“on” for a SURFACE.

We are going to expand the previously rule as follows:

“at” for meal times ( at dinnertime); points of time (at night); festivals (at Christmas ).

“on” for parts of specific days ( on Sunday morning );particular occasions (on that day );anniversaries (on your birthday);festivals (on Christmas day).

“in”(=during) for parts of the day (in the evening);seasons (in summer);centuries (in the 20^th century);periods of time(in the holidays, in Easter).
