Prepositions of time: in / on / at � Remember: - We use IN for something that occurs during a period of time that isn't very specific (seasons, years, months, etc.) e.g. I was born in 1977. ����� We have school holidays in Summer. � � � I don't play sport in June. ����� I like to take a nap in the afternoon. - We use AT for specific points in time (2 p.m., Easter, *Weekend, etc.) e.g. I have lunch at 1.30 p.m. � � � We go to the cinema at night. ����� The family gets together at Christmas. - We use ON for specific days (days of the week, special days/anniversaries, etc.) e.g. I went out for dinner on my birthday. � � � We go to the beach on Saturdays. � � � She is getting married on 26th May. - We DON'T use prepositions when we use terms like every, this, last, next, etc. because these terms indicate specific days. e.g. I have lessons next Tuesday. (not I have lessons on next Tuesday). ����� We watch House every Monday (not We watch House on every Monday). ������ He finished his homework this morning. (not He finished his homework in this morning.) Now you try... A. Choose the correct preposition using either in, on, at or - (no preposition). 1. I was born 25th October. 2. My brother leaves work 9 o'clock the evening. 3. We went to England the Autumn. 4. I have swimming lessons Tuesdays. 5. He takes his dog for a walk the morning. 6. We like to go to bed late night. 7. Daniel didn't go to school this morning. 8. Jack teaches his children to swim� Friday afternoons. 9. They are allowed to play video games the weekend. 10. We have decided to go jogging every Sunday. 11. Our children go to school 8 o'clock the morning. 12. I hope we have good weather this Summer. B. Fill in the missing prepositions: I was born a beautiful sunny Monday morning. My mother said the weather was very unusual that day because it usually rains April so she always jokes around saying that I brought the sun with me.� Anyway, the strange thing is that it has never rained my birthday, which is great because I get to have a party outdoors with all my friends. My birthday this year is a Wednesday so I can't have a party during the day because of school. But my mother said that we can have it the following Saturday, the afternoon.� I hope it doesn't rain!! *British English use. � Americans say "on the weekend".
