LESSON 2.3 | PREPOSITIONS AT, IN, ON.

LESSON 2.3 | PREPOSITIONS AT, IN, ON. 

AT - ON - IN - Prepositions of Time

English Grammar Rules

AT

We use AT with specific times (hour / minutes):

• I get up at 7 o'clock.
• My English class starts at 10am.
• She finishes work at 6.15
• I left the party at midnight.

Midnight (and midday) is a specific hour which is why we use AT.

12am = midnight
12pm = midday / noon

We use AT for a holiday period of two or more days:

• Do you normally get together with your relatives at Christmas?
• Did you eat a lot of chocolate at Easter?

ON

We use ON for specific days and dates:

• I will return it to you on Wednesday.
• They got married on Friday the 13th.
• We get paid on the 20th of every month.
• I drank too much milk on New Year's eve.

Remember that for dates, we use ordinal numbers.

E.g. the First of September (not the one of September)

IN

We use IN for specific months, years, seasons, centuries and lengths of time.

• My birthday is in January. (I don't mention the date, just the month)
• My grandmother was born in 1927.
• The river near my house is dry in Summer.
• The company was founded in the 19th century.
• We need to have this report ready in 15 minutes.

Compare:

The New Zealand National day is in February.
(I don't mention the day - only the month)

The New Zealand National day is on February 6th.
(I mention the day - the order is not important)

The Weekend

Sometimes you will hear AT the weekend and sometimes ON the weekend.

They are both correct. ON the weekend is used in United States.

• Where did you go on the weekend? (American English)
• Where did you go at the weekend? (British English)

See our video about: AT the weekend vs. ON the weekend

We don't use Prepositions

Remember! We do not use at, on, in or the with the following expressions:

• Today, tomorrow, yesterday, this morning, tonight, last, next, every.

LESSON 2.3 | ASKING FOR INFORMATION

LESSON 2.3 | ASKING FOR INFORMATION

·         Asking for information

Sometimes you want to ask English people for information. In English it is not very polite to start a conversation with a direct question. For this reason we have a number of phrases.

10 expressions to Use In Speaking And Writing: 

Can you tell me...? Could you tell me...? I'd like to know... D'you know... (Got / Have you) any idea...? Could anyone tell me...? (Do / Would) you happen to know...? I don't suppose you (would) know...? I wonder if you could tell me...? I wonder if someone could tell me...?

How To Use These Phrases In Your English: 

Phrases 1 - 10 are all followed by indirect questions. So 'What's the time?' becomes 'Can you tell me what the time is?'. Phrase 2 is a little more formal and polite than phrase 1. Phrases 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are polite and are good to use if you are asking a stranger or you are asking at a public information desk. Phrase 4 is more informal. Phrases 5 and 7 are more informal if you say them with out the part in () brackets. Phrases 9 and 10 are very formal and in an informal situation some people may react strangely if they think that you are being sarcastic. By using phrases 1 to 10, we make it easier for the listener to say 'Sorry I don't know'.
