📚 What Are Prepositions of Time?
A preposition of time helps us say when something happens.
For Class 1, we can learn three useful words: in, on and at.
In winter
On Sunday
At noon
These words answer questions about time. A child may ask, “When is your birthday?” or “When do you go to school?” The correct preposition helps make the answer clear.
🌞 Use of IN for Class 1
We often use in with months, years, seasons and parts of the day.
Examples of IN
- My birthday is in June.
- We wear warm clothes in winter.
- I wake up in the morning.
- We play in the evening.
- My brother was born in 2020.
Easy rule: Use in with months and seasons. We also commonly say in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening.
📆 Use of ON for Class 1
We use on with days of the week and particular dates.
Examples of ON
- We go to school on Monday.
- We visit Grandma on Sunday.
- The test is on Friday.
- My birthday is on 5 May.
- We have a picnic on Saturday.
Easy rule: If a sentence names a day or a particular date, we usually use on.
⏰ Use of AT for Class 1
We use at with exact clock times and some special time expressions.
Examples of AT
- I wake up at 6 o'clock.
- School starts at 8:00 AM.
- We eat lunch at noon.
- I sleep at night.
- The train arrives at 5:30 PM.
Easy rule: When you see a clock time, use at. Remember the common expression at night.
🔍 Difference Between In, On and At
| Word | Used With | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| In | Months, seasons, years, parts of the day | In April, in summer, in 2026, in the morning |
| On | Days and dates | On Tuesday, on 10 June |
| At | Clock times and certain expressions | At 9 AM, at noon, at night |
Compare these three sentences: “I was born in May.” “My birthday is on Monday this year.” “My party starts at 4 o'clock.” Each preposition gives a different kind of time information.
🏠 In, On and At for Places – Extra Learning
The words in, on and at can also tell us where someone or something is located.
- In: The pencils are in the box.
- On: The book is on the table.
- At: My mother is at the school gate.
In these examples, the words describe a location rather than a time. The main focus of this worksheet is prepositions of time, but learning both uses helps children recognise these words in everyday sentences.

🎲 Fun Ways to Teach In, On and At
📅 Calendar Game
Show children a calendar and ask them to name the month and the day. Practise sentences such as “We are in October” and “Today is Thursday”. Then explain that we say “on Thursday” when talking about an event.
⏰ Clock Activity
Use a toy clock or a drawing of a clock. Ask students to complete sentences such as “I wake up at 7 o'clock”.
🎂 Birthday Activity
Ask children to share their birthday month and date. Explain the difference between “in March” and “on 12 March”.
🃏 Word Sorting Cards
Prepare cards with words such as Monday, July, noon, Friday and winter. Ask children to place them under IN, ON or AT.
🗣️ Daily Routine Speaking
Encourage students to talk about when they wake up, attend school, play and sleep. This gives the prepositions a practical meaning.
🚫 Common Mistakes with In, On and At
1. Saying “In Monday”
Use on Monday, because Monday is a day of the week.
2. Saying “On July”
Use in July, because July is a month.
3. Saying “In 7 o'clock”
Use at 7 o'clock, because it is a clock time.
4. Saying “In Night”
In ordinary beginner examples, use at night. Compare this with in the morning and in the evening.
5. Confusing Time and Place
These prepositions can describe both time and location. “In May” describes time, while “in the box” describes place. Read the complete sentence to understand the meaning.
