What are prepositions of time?\n\nPrepositions of time tell us **when** something happens.\n\n**Examples:**\n\n* in the morning\n* on Monday\n* at 7 o’clock\n\n## 2\\. In \u002F On \u002F At\n\n### IN\n\nUse **in** for:\n\n* months\n* years\n* seasons\n* parts of the day\n\n**Form:**\n\n* **in + month\u002Fyear\u002Fseason**: in January, in 2025, in summer\n* **in + the + part of the day**: in the morning \u002F in the afternoon \u002F in the evening\n\n#### Sentences\n\n* *My birthday is in January.*\n* *I was born in 2000.*\n* *We have a holiday in summer.*\n* *I study English in the evening.*\n\n**Extra note**\n\n* We usually say **at night** (general time).\n* We can also say **in the night** to mean “during the night” (more specific).\n    * *I woke up **in the night**.*\n\n### ON\n\nUse **on** for:\n\n* days\n* dates\n\n#### Sentences\n\n* *We have class* ***on*** *Monday.*\n* *She works on Friday morning.*\n* *Christmas is on 25 December.*\n\n### AT\n\nUse **at** for:\n\n* exact times\n* night\n* specific moments\n\n#### Sentences\n\n* *We eat dinner at 7 o’clock.*\n* *He studies at night.*\n* *I take a break at noon.*\n* *The movie starts at midnight.*\n* *Let’s meet at the weekend.* (more common in BrE)\n* *Let’s meet on the weekend.* (more common in AmE)\n\n## 3\\. Quick comparison\n\n* **in** → months, years, seasons, parts of the day\n* **on** → days and dates (and day + part of day)\n* **at** → clock times and specific moments\n\n## 4\\. Optional: Other time words\n\nThese words also talk about time, but they are different from **in\u002Fon\u002Fat**.\n\n* **before** → earlier than a time\n    * *Please come before 6 o’clock.*\n* **after** → later than a time\n    * *We eat after work.*\n* **during** → inside a period of time\n    * *She slept during the movie.*\n* **from … to** → start and end time\n    * *I work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.*\n\n## 5\\. Easy way to remember\n\n* IN → months, years, seasons\n* ON → days and dates\n* AT → exact time and night\n\n## Extra: Last \u002F Next \u002F Every \u002F This (no preposition)\n\nThese time words act like prepositions by themselves. Do not add **in\u002Fon\u002Fat**.\n\nCorrect vs wrong:\n\n* ✅ *next week* \u002F ❌ *in next week*\n* ✅ *last year* \u002F ❌ *in last year*\n* ✅ *this morning* \u002F ❌ *in this morning*\n\nExamples:\n\n* **Last** (the time before now)\n    * She finished school last year.\n    * We met him last weekend.\n* **Next** (the time after now)\n    * My lesson is next Friday.\n    * They are traveling next month.\n* **Every** (something that happens regularly)\n    * I drink coffee every morning.\n    * He plays football every Saturday.\n* **This** (the time happening now or very close to now)\n    * I am busy this afternoon.\n    * We have a test this week.","en","A1",26,[12],{"id":13,"name":14,"level":9,"language":8,"isCompleted":15,"completionPercentage":16,"totalExercises":17,"completedExercises":16,"vocabularyLists":18},"019aede6-d2f4-720c-b2ac-90cf4cb65dc3","Prepositions
