Hi!

Today I would like to talk about prepositions. This is an area even advanced students struggle with.

So lets start with Prepositions of time

-Using In

So the preposition in is sometimes used in phrases containing time.

When in is used like this it is always followed by noun.

Examples:

I'll see you in the evening.

I'm going to be here in the morning.

We lived there in 1984.

Some things to remember!

Do not use in with specific calendar/time moments:

This is incorrect "I'll see you in 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.

-The expression in time means "not too late."

An example:

The discussion began at 10:15. She arrived at 10:05. She was in time for the discussion.

So that's all for today, please contact me, or contact me through Our Language Cafe, I will be building my own site soon!

My name is John. I have been an English teacher for a long time. I have worked in Japan and also in China.

I would like to share with you some of my knowledge and if you would like English lessons with me over Skype I would be happy to hear from you!

Best wishes,
John
