LESSON 5 - DAYS, MONTHS & PREPOSITIONS OF TIME




DAYS OF THE WEEK.

With the days of the week, we use the preposition ON:

-I go to piano lessons on Saturday.
-Rachel's party is on Friday.
-I always get up early on Monday.

But:

-What do you usually do at the weekend?
-I never do homework at the weekend.
 note: the days of the week must start with Capital Letter.

We can combine a day and a part of the day and the result is:

-On Sunday morning, I always play baseball.
-On Saturday night, my family sometimes play board games.

  
MONTHS OF THE YEAR

With only months, we use the preposition IN:

-In January my grandmother always comes to visit us.
-In June I usually have a party.
NOTE: the months must start with Capital Letter.





SEASONS

For seasons, we use IN:

-In winter there's a lot cold air.
-We go to the beach in summer.


HOLIDAYS

For some holidays we say On:

-On Christmas we normally go to the West.
-On New Year's Eve.


DATES

For full dates, we use the preposition on:


My birthday Is on October 12th.
