​

Answer 1

The sentence will be correctly written as : l am telling you for the last time to be in the hostel by 10 pm.

• 'For' is the correct preposition which needs to be used in the first part of the sentence.
• A preposition is more often used in the middle of a sentence and hence we choose the phrase 'l am telling you for the last time'.
• We use article 'the' when we are referring to a specific thing. Article 'a' is used for a general thing.
• In the sentence, as a specific hostel is being referred to, hence article 'the' will be used.
