English prepositions can be quite challenging to students of English. Today, we are going to look at some of them we use every day to talk about time.

 

Three of the most common prepositions of time – at, on, and in – follow certain basic rules.

 

AT refers to a very narrow, specific time, such as 4:30 or 7:00 o’clock.

 

ON refers to a slightly broader time, of one day or one date, such as Sunday or May 22.

 

IN refers to the widest time period, such as a month, a year, a season, a decade, and so on.
