When talking about time, specifying dates, days, or longer periods of time, we need a part of speech called the preposition. Prepositions are connecting words which introduce one thing’s relationship with another. In this case, we will be talking mostly about the speaker’s relationship with a certain period of, or point in, time.
We use three prepositions to talk about time. They are in, at, and on. We use each one to talk about different demarcations of time. Memorizing the rules of how to use each one will make conversation much easier:
In
We use in to talk about:
Months
In four months, I will be on tour in Iraq.
Years
I haven’t been home in about 3 years.
Centuries
The Normans invaded Ireland in the 12th century.
Seasons
In the winter, we will head south to Florida to stay warm.
At
We use at to talk about:
Precise time
At 3 o’clock we will go to the school to get ready for the show.
On
We use on to talk about:
Days
On Thursday, we will go to the gym to lift weights.
Dates
On the 20th of January we will celebrate the birthday of activist Martin Luther King, Jr.
While these rules may seem strange and even arbitrary, they have developed over hundreds of years of the evolution of colloquial speech. When it comes to more confusing concepts (such as prepositions), the only way to become familiar with their disparate uses and their usage in conversation is to memorize the rules and attempt to use them in conversation as often as possible. Listening to native speakers often is always a good thing as well, whether or the radio, internet or television, when actual conversation is not feasible or difficult to find.

Lyrics: Prepositions of Time
I’m on a preposition mission so listen up!
I’m gonna tell you what it’s all about
So if you’re on a preposition mission listen
And you’ll never be in any doubt
Use ON with days of the week
on Monday on Tuesday on Wednesday on Thursday, on Friday…
It’s as simple as that! Easy!
Use IN with months, seasons, year, time of day, or before an exact time
A little something like this – check it out…
in June, in Summer, in the evening, in 1963, in a minute, in an hour
Use AT at night, at the weekend or at an exact time, like at 5pm
I’m on a preposition mission so listen up!
I’m gonna tell you what it’s all about
So if you’re on a preposition mission listen
And you’ll never be in any doubt
Use FOR to indicate the period of time from the past to now
Like for 5 years
Use AGO to indicate an exact time in the past
Like what?……Like 5 years ago!
Use SINCE for the exact time in the past to now
Like since 2001
Use BEFORE before a particular time
like before May or before the chorus…
I’m on a preposition mission so listen up!
I’m gonna tell you what it’s all about
So if you’re on a preposition mission listen
And you’ll never be in any doubt
Use BY up to a particular time
like I’ll do this by 3 o’clock
Or you can use BY to indicate someone who’s done something like
A novel by Henry, or this song by me!
Use TO or TILL to define the end of a time
Like from 9 to 5 or 9 till 5
Use TILL or UNTIL before a particular time like
I’ll be waiting till Friday or until the end of time!
I’m on a preposition mission so listen up!
I’m gonna tell you what it’s all about
So if you’re on a preposition mission listen
And you’ll never be in any doubt
I’m on a preposition mission so listen up!
I’m gonna tell you what it’s all about
So if you’re on a preposition mission listen
And you’ll never be in any doubt
Mission completes
