Yo, semuanya. Hari ini gw mau ngepost tentang prepositions. Ini repost, tapi gw bikin ini karena biar kalo gw tiba tiba bingung cara menggunakan prepositions, tinggal kesini..


Oke kita mulai

Prepositions of Time: at, in, on

Kita menggunakan

• at untuk waktu ( seperti at 7 o'clock)
• in untuk bulan, tahun, waktu yang lama, abad.
• on untuk hari dan tanggal

at	in	on
Waktu	Bulan, Tahun, Waktu yang lama, Abad	Hari dan Tanggal
at 3 o'clock	in May	on Sunday
at 10.30am	in summer	on Tuesdays
at noon	in the summer	on 6 March
at dinnertime	in 1990	on 25 Dec. 2010
at bedtime	in the 1990s	on Christmas Day
at sunrise	in the next century	on Independence Day
at sunset	in the Ice Age	on my birthday
at the moment	in the past/future	on New Year's Eve

Lihatlah contoh dibawah ini:

• I have a meeting at 9am.
• The shop closes at midnight.
• Jane went home at lunchtime.
• In England, it often snows in December.
• Do you think we will go to Jupiter in the future?
• There should be a lot of progress in the next century.
• Do you work on Mondays?
• Her birthday is on 20 November.
• Where will you be on New Year's Day?

Sekarang, lihat tabel dibawah ini:
