At, On, and In

So now we’re pretty clear on how we use those basic prepositions to talk about times.

Now we can talk about days months weeks dates years decades using often these three at on and in.

Now at is for a specific time just like when we say six thirty.

But add is often used for a point within a year or a month or a week.

For example at the beginning of June at the beginning of next month.

OK.

At the end of the week we can use app for that.

It’s sort of a time point within a within a larger thing a larger unit.

OK how about on then on is actually more common when we’re talking about days and days if it’s an exact date we won’t say at June 13th we say on June 13th on June 13th.

I flew home.

That’s it.

There on June 13th.

I flew home on February 20 seventh on July 6th on August 24th.

What ever.

Well we say a specific date.

We use on OK.

We also use on when we say for example the actual day of the week on Friday of last week or this week on Friday.

I I have a match.

Maybe you’re a tennis player.

When is your match is on Friday.

Oh OK.

What do you usually do on the weekend.

Do you usually do on the weekend.

What do you usually do on weekends.

So for a weekend even though it’s two days some people consider it three days.

We use on as well.

We don’t use at for the weekends.

We don’t use in for the weekends.

We don’t stay in the weekends.

We can stay in the week we can say during the week for the whole thing.

You could say during the weekend.

But usually we say on the weekend and then in.

Is used for much larger things we’ll say for example in April we need to book our hotel.

That’s when we need to do it in April.

So we’re talking about the whole month of April.

Whenever it happens.

OK.

If it’s a larger thing in 2014 I moved to Austria.

Why.

Why not.

Why not.

Why not move to Austria in 2014.

I moved to Austria out in the 90s.

Now we’re talking about a decade which is a 10 year period in the 90s in the 80s in the 70s in the 60s.

Well if we go back 100 years then we start and we need to start saying 18 70s 80s 90s 14 20s.

But if we’re talking about the the previous century then we just use 90s in the 90s in the 90s fashion was weird.

It’s true.

I guess fashion is always weird when you look back though right.

What I’m wearing now my hair probably will be weird very soon maybe it’s weird now.

I don’t know.

All right.

So that’s how we use at on and in when we’re talking about days dates months years decades.

Things like that.

Hope that’s pretty easy to understand.

Should be.
