Prepositions can be really tricky to learn and remember. There are SO many ways to use them.
But, when you’re talking about time, there are 3 simple preposition rules you can’t go wrong with!
- at + specific time (e.g. I’ll call you at 9am)
- on + day/date (e.g. I’ll see you on Monday/March 21st)
- in + time period (e.g. I’m going on holiday in May)
Watch the video below to help these rules stick in your head!
Easy peasy, hey?!
