PREPOSITIONS OF TIME

CHAPTER 6 CHART 6-5 PAGE 167 A preposition of time is a preposition that allows you to discuss a specific time period such as a date on the calendar, one of the days of the week, or the actual time something takes place. Prepositions of time are the same words as prepositions of place, however they are used in a different way. You can easily distinguish these prepositions, as they always discuss times rather than places. (1)
