Prepositions of Time Exercises (A2) — Free

Prepositions of time: in, on, at, for, during, from... to

Use 'at' for clock times and some fixed expressions (at nine o'clock, at night, at Christmas). Use 'on' for days and dates (on Tuesday, on 5 May, on Christmas Day, on Friday evening). Use 'in' for longer periods: months, seasons, years and parts of the day (in May, in winter, in 2010, in the morning). A common mistake is to use 'in' with a day, as in 'in Monday' — days always take 'on'. Use 'for' to say how long something lasts (for three years) and 'during' to say when something happens inside a period (during the film). 'From... to/until' gives the start and the end of a period (from 9 am to 6 pm).
