But these little two-letter prepositions seem to create confusion. Here are a
few rules to help you understand when to use in, on, and at in a sentence.
For describing time and place, the prepositions in, on, and at go
from general to specific.
Let’s start by looking at how we talk about time. English speakers use in to
refer to a general, longer period of time, such as months, years, decades, or
centuries. For example, we say “in April,” “in 2015” or “in the 21st century.”
PREPOSITION OF PLACE : IN
- PREPOSITION OF TIME : IN
Can be used to depict general timings like months, years, centuries and parts
of days
Examples:
PREPOSITION OF PLACE : ON
Can be used to refer to more specific locations like streets, avenues, islands,
surfaces and large vehicles
EXAMPLES:
- Latha stays on the fourth floor.
- The book you are looking for is on the rack.
PREPOSITION OF TIME: ON
Can be used to refer to dates, days of the week, days of the month and
holidays with ‘day’ (for example – Republic day)
HOMEWORK
Example:
- You can find us at the park.
- She is at home now.
PREPOSITION OF TIME: AT
- Can be used to denote very specific time, times of the day and
holidays without ‘day’ (for example – Easter)
- Example:
- We decided to meet at 4 p.m.
- I wished my brother at midnight.
Activity
Following the “general to specific” rule should help you most of the time.

WEEK 2- CLASS 2 IRREGULAR PLURAL NOUNS
An irregular plural noun is a type of noun that doesn't abide by the same
rules as most other nouns. Unlike regular plurals, irregular plurals don't
become pluralized when -s or -es is added to the end. An example of an
irregular plural is 'wolves', which is the plural of 'wolf'.

WEEK 2- CLASS 3 IRREGULAR PLURAL NOUNS
When the singular word ends in -y, we remove the and replace it with -
ies. Examples: family / families, puppy / puppies, country / countries.
If the singular word ends in -ch, -x, -s, -sh, -z or -s, we form the plural by
adding -es to the end of the word. Examples: box / boxes, class / classes,
bush / bushes.
As an exception to the above, nouns that end with a single -z add -zes to
the end of the word: quiz / quizzes.
When singular nouns end in -f or -fe, we change the efe to a vee before
adding the ese. Examples: wolf / wolves, wife / wives, dwarf / dwarves.
