Nézzük, hogy milyen prepozíciókat kell használni, amikor időről beszélünk!

ON          IN          AT

AT:  az idő (óra) kifejezésére használjuk, illetve minden olyan időegységre, ami kisebb, mint egy nap (kivéve reggel, délután, este – lásd később) – például: at 3 o’clock, at 10:30am, at noon, at dinnertime, at bedtime, at sunrise, at sunset, at the moment

ON: akkor használjuk, amikor napokról beszélünk (nem csak a hét napjaival, hanem mindennel, ami egy napra vonatkozik, pl. dátumok, születésnapok, évfordulók, stb.) – például: om Friday, on 6th of March, on Christmas Day, on my birthday, on New year’s Eve

IN: olyan egységekkel használjuk, amelyek nagyobbak, mint egy nap (hét, hónap, év, stb.) – például: in June, in winter, in the summer, in 1990, in the 1980s, in the last century, in the Middle Ages, in the past

Van még két szó, amit kérlek, hogy jegyezz meg az idővel kapcsolatban:

FROM …TO

Például:  from 9 to 5 (kilenctől ötig), from Monday to Friday (hétfőtől péntekig), stb.

A következő kifejezések rendhagyóak, ezért kérlek, hogy figyelmesen olvasd el, és tanuld meg őket (azért rendhagyóak, mert napra vonatkoznak, de nem ON prepozíció van előttük, hanem IN):

IN the morning(s)
IN the afternoon(s)
IN the evening(s)

A következő standard, rögzült kifejezések is rendhagyóak (mert AT prepozíciót használunk velük függetlenül attól, hogy milyen hosszú időszakra vonatkoznak):

AT night
AT the weekend
AT Christmas
AT Easter
AT the same time
AT present

Ha kombinálod a napszakot a nap nevével (pl. szombat reggel), akkor a nagyobb győz, tehát a napra vonatkozó prepozíció lesz a nyerő, tehát ON: 

ON Sunday morning, ON Friday afternoon

Amikor a következő szavakat használod, akkor sose használj prepozíciót: 

LAST                   THIS                    NEXT                   EVERY

‘in the last week’ HELYETT ‘last week’

más példák: this month, next year, every week

ÉRDEKESSÉG:  Az angol nyelv egyes variációiban, nyelvjárásaiban használatos az "on the weekend’ és az "on Christmas" is!
