Prepositions of time
 We usually use three different propositions to describe time: ‘at’, ‘on’ and ‘in’

 1) We use ‘at’ to identify a particular time: at 8 o’clock, at 20.40,  at night , at 5pm , at eight-thirty.
 2) We also use ‘at’ for the weekend (British English): e.g. ‘I will meet you at the weekend.’
 3) And we also use ‘at’ for festival days: at Christmas, at Easter .

We use ‘on’ to describe a particular day or date:
 1) When we do things regularly on a particular day , on Sundays e.g. ‘I always go shopping on Sundays’ (Notice that it is plural because it is every Sunday)
 2) On weekends (American English)

 4) On a particular date: on June 4th,  on the 25th of April,  on Christmas day,  on the first day of school.

We use ‘in’ to describe a period of time
 1) In the future : in a few minutes / in an hour / in three days / in two weeks / in three months/ in a few years e.g. ‘I will do in the next day or two’ (future intention) ‘Our class starts in ten minutes’ (in the future) ‘I can finish it in three days’ (an estimate of the time it will take to complete)
 2) To identify a part of the day:  in the morning / in the afternoon/ in the evening e.g. ’I always study in the morning’
 3) To identify a month : in March, in April e.g. ‘My birthday is in March.’ ‘The semester starts in August’
