Hello kids! Just in case you still have problems with your 'time'.....

PREPOSITIONS OF TIME

AT is used with “night”, “midnight”, “midday”, “Christmas”, “Easter” and with the time of the day.

I am at school at midday
At Christmas I buy presents for my family
I go to the beach at Easter.
The film starts at 6 o’clock

IN is used with other parts of the day (morning, afternoon, evening), with months, with years, and with seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter).


I usually read books in the afternoon
The days are long in August
