A grammar lesson for the lower levels.

 Topic: IN and ON as prepositions of time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

go trick-or-treating (v.)

= to go fromhome to home asking for candy on Halloween

 

 

 

When do we use IN? When do we use ON?	Когда мы употребляем предлог IN? Когда мы употребляем предлог  ON?
"in" = use with a period of time "on" = use with a point in time	in - применяется когда указывается период  времени on - применяется, если указано точное время.

 

 

We use IN with months:

For example: "in January"

January - in January,
February - in February,
March - in March,
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 ...

"in last year" or "in next year" or "in every year"

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"

 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

other uses of ON:

We say: on the weekend

on a weekday (будни = Monday-Friday)

on a workday
