My favorite day of the week is Monday because first, it is the first day of the week and second, it is the best day to bring me a new opportunity to grow as a person ! . I sometimes woke up at 7:00 o'clock on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays because I keep my body healthy doing hard physical exercise. For the rest of the days such as Tuesday, Thursday and so on, I woke up a bit late because I don't have to do exercise but it is essential for me reading at least two pages from my favorite book called " Dark Psychology " and then I continue with my day without any preasure or problems because I have them under control haha ! That's a great way to say I'm thrilled with my life. Finally, the best part of my days is when it's 8:00 Pm, why ? Because I SPEND a lovely time with my family, talking about our day and planing for what we are going to do on Chrismas day. In fact, today is 21 of December, do you know what ? Chrismas is coming ! I can't belive that because everything has happened so fast.

I hope you read my text and don't forget this, look at the new words I left for you, see you soon and " spend a good time at Chrismas mate "

Hi greenlion. Your first sentence is correct. Use "in" for "the morning" in general but use "on" for a specific morning (e.g. on Tuesday morning; on the morning of 3rd May; on a cold, rainy morning). "A spring morning" means one specific morning during the spring. :)

Hi Sirlal,

Both of those sentences are correct. Thanks for all your comments on the site. We have a very small team working on LearnEnglish Teens and sometimes we don't have time to answer everyone's grammar questions, so don't worry if we don't always answer all your specific questions - other users from our site may help you. :)

Best wishes, Jo (LearnEnglish Teens)

Prepositions are words or short phrases that identify the spatial (in space), directional (the direction in which something is moving), or temporal (in time) relationship of one or more people or things to other people or things. Prepositions communicate abstract relationships as well as concrete ones. While all languages have prepositions, English has a particularly large number of them, with important differences of nuance between similar prepositions. This handout will give an overview of prepositions, along with a practice activity.

A preposition is a word or group of words used before a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to show direction, time, place, location, spatial relationships, or to introduce an object. Some examples of prepositions are words like "in," "at," "on," "of," and "to."

Prepositions in English are highly idiomatic. Although there are some rules for usage, much preposition usage is dictated by fixed expressions. In these cases, it is best to memorize the phrase instead of the individual preposition.

Some verbs and adjectives are followed by a certain preposition. Sometimes verbs and adjectives can be followed by different prepositions, giving the phrase different meanings. To find which prepositions follow the verb or an adjective, look up the verb or adjective in an online dictionary, such as Merriam Webster, or use a corpus, such as The Corpus of Contemporary American English. Memorizing these phrases instead of just the preposition alone is the most helpful.

Although verb + preposition combinations appear similar to phrasal verbs, the verb and the particle (in this case, the preposition) in these combinations cannot be separated like phrasal verbs. See more about this on our verb choice page.

At one time, schools taught students that a sentence should never end with a preposition. This rule is associated with Latin grammar, and while many aspects of Latin have made their way into English, there are times when following this particular grammar rule creates unclear or awkward sentence structures. Since the purpose of writing is to clearly communicate your ideas, it is acceptable to end a sentence with a preposition if the alternative would create confusion or is too overly formal.

In this post I will discuss prepositions, specifically prepositions of time and place. Prepositions can be a difficult subject for English learners to grasp, but with the proper guidance it is a lot easier. This is why Off2Class is giving you two ready-to-teach lesson plans to make teaching prepositions of time and place better, for everyone!

A preposition is a word that connects a noun phrase with another part of a sentence; it is usually said or written before a noun. A preposition can indicate several types of relationships but for this blog post, I will talk about place and time.

This introductory lesson plan, part of a six-part series, introduces the three most common prepositions of time : at, on and in. For this lesson, students must already be comfortable using beginner vocabulary like days of the week, months, and time expressions.This lesson plan begins with an explanation of these at, on and in. Then, students will complete various exercises to put these prepositions to use. It also outlines other fixed prepositions such as at the moment, at night, and many more. Lastly, the lesson covers how prepositions are used differently in the UK versus the US.

Prepositions are short words (at, in, on) which are used to show position, location, direction, and time in English. This in-depth tutorial will take you from basic usage to advanced verb + preposition combinations. It includes dozens of preposition exercises as well as the answers to common preposition questions.

But some verbs require prepositions to take objects (depend on her, joke about him, laugh at them, etc.) These combinations are harder. The best way to learn them is by reading English books and speaking with native speakers. To help English learners, we have put together a great list of the most common verb + preposition combinations with example sentences.

Some verbs can be followed by different prepositions. This can change the meaning of the verb. For example, turn, turn off, turn back and turn down all have very different meanings. These special verb + preposition combinations are called phrasal verbs, and they take time to learn.

Read through our phrasal verb page, which talks about different types of phrasal verbs and how they are used. There is also a phrasal verb dictionary with definitions and examples. Afterwards, test your knowledge with the exercises below. Practice makes perfect.

These exercises test verb + preposition combinations and phrasal verbs. While doing these exercises, think about how prepositions change the meaning of the verbs. Make sure you fully understand phrasal verbs before moving on to the mixed preposition exercises.

Native English speakers instinctively know the correct preposition of time to use, but for English language learners, it is a lot more difficult, and mistakes are often made. This lesson plan about prepositions of time will help your students to learn how and when to use the different prepositions of time. This lesson plan will focus primarily on the prepositions of time at, on, and in, but could be easily adapted to teach other prepositions of time.

Write these words on the board and continue eliciting more units of time from students, such as days, months, years, etc. After this, review the key vocabulary and expressions needed to talk about days of the week, months, and dates. Introduce Prepositions Of TimeTypically English language students are taught prepositions of place early on, and so your students are probably used to using the words at, on, and in when talking about prepositions of place.

Write at, on, and in on the board and explain that these words are pronounced the same as prepositions of place but are used differently when talking about time.Next, write three example sentences on the board with the preposition of time missing, and ask students to guess whether it should be at, on, or in.Once students have guessed, let them know the correct answer. Then, ask them to try to identify the ways in which the three sentences are different. This will help them to start thinking about the prepositions of time rules, and you can also check how much the students already know.
