Prepositions of Time AT - ON - IN

AT
We use AT with specific times (hour / minutes):
 I get up at 7 o'clock.
 My English class starts at 10am.
 She finishes work at 6.15
 I left the party at midnight.
Midnight (and midday) is a specific hour
which is why we use AT.
12am = midnight
12pm = midday / noon
We use AT for a holiday period of two or
more days:
 Do you normally get together with your
relatives at Christmas?
 Did you eat a lot of chocolate at Easter?

ON
We use ON for specific days and dates:
 I will return it to you on Wednesday.
 They got married on Friday the 13th.
 We get paid on the 20th of every month.
 I drank too much milk on New Year's eve.
Remember that for dates, we use ordinal
numbers.
E.g. the First of September (not the one of
September)
