TIP2. IT, AT, ON (TIME)

Spanish speakers sometimes confuse this stuff by trying to translate them into spanish. That's a problem at the time to get an idea this way. There are concepts you'll have to learn from memory! but do not panic these prepositions are simple at all. yeah! I like how it sounds. Check them out!

1) The preposition IN

When talking about a part of the day, month or year you use IN.



a) It's a cold day IN winter. you'd better get a coat!
b) Someone is standing in middle of a way IN the evening.
b) In Chile the Winter is IN August.

2) The preposition AT.

When talking about an exact time (like exact point in the previously tip) you use at.




a) What time do you have dinner? answer; I have my dinner AT 7 o'clock.
b) What time do you arrive? Answer: I arrive AT 5 in the evening.
c) What do you do AT weekends? Answer: I like going out with my friends.

3) The preposition ON.

When we're talking about either an exact date or an exact day of a week, we use ON.


a) Would you like to go clubbing on Friday? (Not this) Oh, I'd love to.
b) The party will start at 7 o'clock ON March the first day.
