It's party time!

Prepositions of time
Remember this: Zoe: My birthday is on 14th October. Zoe: His birthday is in May. More exactly on May 2. Zoe: Its birthday is on Monday! Jessica and Jennifer: Our birthday is in the summer... in in May in (the) summer on on 14th October on May 2 on Monday at

We use the preposition in with months (e.g. in May), with seasons (e.g. in (the) summer) and with the parts of the day (e.g. in the morning / in the afternoon / in the evening). The only exception is at night. in in + months in May in + seasons in (the) summer in + parts of the day in the morning on on 14th October on May 2 on Monday at *at night

We use the preposition on with dates (e.g. on 14th October/ on May 2) and with the days of the week (e.g. on Monday) but we say in the week and at (the) weekends in in + months in May in + seasons in (the) summer in + parts of the day in the morning on on 14th October on May 2 on Monday on + days of the week on Monday at *at night *at (the) weekends

We use the preposition at with the expressions at night and at (the) weekends as well as with hours at four o'clock (4:00). in in + months in May in + seasons in (the) summer in + parts of the day in the morning on on 14th October on May 2 on Monday on + days of the week on Monday at *at night *at (the) weekends at + hours at four o'clock (4:00)

That's all about prepositions for now. Don't forget the exceptions while choosing the correct preposition of time! You must remember that we use the preposition in with parts of the day. However there's a single exception. Exception: We say: at night The same way, we use the preposition on with the days of the week. But there are two exceptions: in the week at the weekends It's very easy! You just have to pay attention!
