TYPES OF PREP-POSTIONS TIME PLACE MOVEMENT

PREPOSITION OF TIME • A preposition of time is a preposition that allows you to discuss a specific time period such as a date on the calendar, one of the days of the week, or the actual time something takes place. Prepositions of time are the same words as prepositions of place, however they are used in a different way. You can easily distinguish these prepositions, as they always discuss times rather than places. • At – This preposition of time is used to discuss clock times, holidays and festivals, and other very specific time frames including exceptions, such as “at night. ” • In – This preposition of time is used to discuss months, seasons, years, centuries, general times of day, and longer periods of time such as “in the past. ” • On – This preposition of time is used to discuss certain days of the week or portions of days of the week, specific dates, and special days such as “on New Year’s Day. ”

PREPOSITION OF PLACE • A preposition of place is a preposition which is used to refer to a place where something or someone is located. There are only three prepositions of place, however they can be used to discuss an almost endless number of places. • At – A preposition of place which is used to discuss a certain point • In – A preposition of place which is used to discuss an enclosed space • On – A preposition of time which is used to discuss a surface

PREPOSITIONS OF MOVEMENT Prepositions of movement or direction are used to show movement from one place to another. These prepositions are most often used with verbs of motion and are found after the verb. ACROSS • Meaning: from one side to the other Use: “Across” is used to show movement from one side to the opposite side. • Example : The boat will take you across the river. You must walk across the street at the crosswalk. ALONG • Meaning: in a line; a point in the length of; from one point to another • Example : He’s walking along the path. The street runs along the seafront.
