We use IN with months:
For example: "in January"
January - in January,
February - in February,

April - in April,
May - in May,
June - in June,
July - in July,
August - in August,
September - in September,
October - in October,
November - in November,
December - in December.
We can use IN with seasons.
For example: "in the spring"
(the) spring / (the) springtime
(the) summer / (the) summertime
autumn / the fall
(the) winter / (the) wintertime
autumn (the fall) - осень. Это слово немного отличается в употреблении от других.
C "autumn" обычно артикль не используется, а "the fall" - может использоваться как с артиклем, так и без артикля.
Для всех остальных времен года мы можем выбирать употреблять их с артиклем или без него.
We use IN with years.
For example: in 2008, in 2009 ...
But we don't say - но мы не можем сказать:
"in last year" or "in next year" or "in every year"
The correct phrases are - правильные фразы:
last year - прошлый год,
next year - следующий год,
every year - каждый год
т.е предлог IN - не употребляется перед словами last, next и every.
We use IN with times of the day.
For example: "in the morning"
Morning / Afternoon / Evening
So we say: in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening.
But we don't say - но мы не можем сказать:
"in night"
The correct way to say this is:
Правильныq способ сказать это:
at night
We use ON with dates:
For example: "on January 1",
"on July 4, 1776"
We use ON with days of the week:
For example: "on Sunday"
Sunday - on Sunday,
Monday - on Monday,
Tuesday - on Tuesday,
Wednesday - on Wednesday,
Thursday - on Thursday,
Friday - on Thursday,
Saturday - on Saturday
We use ON when we have a time of the day and a day of the week:
For example: "on Sunday morning"
We use ON with holidays:
For example: "on Mother's Day"
"on Christmas Eve / Day" - on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day
BUT we usually say: "at Chrismas"
Look at this
