    The document provides examples of common expressions of time using prepositions like "at", "in", and "on". It demonstrates how to indicate precise times using "at" along with the time, months or years using "in", and days or dates using "on". It also notes that with expressions like "last", "next", "every", we do not use "at", "in", "on". The document concludes by reminding about the proper use of "for" and "since" with the present perfect tense to discuss unfinished time, using "for" with a period of time and "since" with a point in time.
