Prepositions and Time

Let's start by looking at how we talk about time. English speakers use in to refer to a general, longer period of time, such as months, years, decades, or centuries. For example, we say "in April", "in 2015" or "in the 21st century".

Moving to shorter, more especific periods of time, we use on to talk about particular days, dates, and holidays. You may hear, "I went to work on Monday", or "Let's have a picnic on Memorial Day".

For the most specific times, and for holidays without the word "day", we use at. That means you will hear, "Meet me at midnight", or "The flowers are in bloom at Easter time".
