Prepositions (in, on, at)
In, on and at are prepositions of time
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.
In
Refers to longer periods of time (e.g. in July or in 2019).
On
Refers to periods of 24 hours (e.g. on Monday or on 1st November).
At
Refers to the exact time (e.g. at 3 pm or at 19:00).
There are also some common time expressions that use in, on, at. Below are a few business examples that you may know:
| In + |
|
| On + |
|
| At + |
|
TIP: if you use the words last, this, next or every, then do not use in, on or at (e.g. Our previous conference was last July). This also applies to the words yesterday, today and tomorrow (e.g. I met him yesterday).
