Preposition for time

YOUR JOURNEY

A preposition of time is a preposition that allows you to discuss a specific

time period such as a date on the calendar, one of the days of the week,
or the actual time something takes place. Prepositions of time are the
same words as prepositions of place, however they are used in a
different way. You can easily distinguish these prepositions, as they
always discuss times rather than places.

 At – This preposition of time is used to discuss clock times,

holidays and festivals, and other very specific time frames
including exceptions, such as “at night.”

 In – This preposition of time is used to discuss months, seasons,

years, centuries, general times of day, and longer periods of time
such as “in the past.”

 On – This preposition of time is used to discuss certain days of

the week or portions of days of the week, specific dates, and
special days such as “on New Year’s Day.”
