Some prepositions of time

Prepositions of Time

We use:

• at for a PRECISE TIME
• in for MONTHS, YEARS, CENTURIES and LONG PERIODS
• on for DAYS and DATES

at	in	on
PRECISE TIME	MONTHS, YEARS, CENTURIES and LONG PERIODS	DAYS and DATES

Look at these examples:

When we say last, next, every, this we do not also use at, in, on.
