Learn Prepositions ‘On’ ‘At’, And ‘In’

A Preposition describes a relationship between other words in a sentence. In itself, a word like “in” or “after” is rather meaningless and hard to define in mere words.

We use at to designate specific times.

For Instance:

                          The train is due at 12:15 p.m.

We use at for specific addresses.

For Instance:

                          Romeo lives at 55 Boretz Road in Durham.

Preposition: ‘On’ In

We use on to designate days and dates.

For Instance:

                          My brother is coming on Monday.

We use on to designate names of streets, avenues, etc.

For Instance:

                           Her house is on Boretz Road.

Preposition: ‘In’

We use in for nonspecific times during a day, a month, a season, or a year.

For Instance:

                          She likes to jog in the morning.

We use in for the names of land-areas (towns, counties, states, countries, and continents).

For Instance:

                           She lives in Durham.
