    The document discusses the use of prepositions like "at", "on", and "in" with time expressions. It notes that "at" is used for exact times, meal times, parts of the day, festivals, and some expressions. "On" is used for days of the week, dates, anniversaries, and special days. "In" is used for months, seasons, years, and parts of the day except night. "This", "last", "next", and "every" are used without a preposition for time expressions.
