English and ESL Instructor

Prepositions in the English language are used for expressing relations in time or space. Common ones include in, of, on, under, above, below, and many more. Here are specific prepositions that we use for indicating relations in time:

To indicate times of day, we use at:

     I leave for school at 8 a.m. everyday.

For days of the week, the proper preposition is on:

     I will be going to my friend's birthday party on Saturday.

When mentioning a year, it is in:

      The Second World War ended in 1945. 

If a specific date is used, the proper preposition is on:

     On December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor.

When referring to a period of time, use during:

     The Industrial Revolution happened during the mid to late 19th century.

     During the Great Depression, the Roosevelt Administration created many new types of welfare.
