He would see me after /for a week correct preposition
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:Prepositions need to be learnt in context with the other words that they’re used with. Trying to understand why we say “in the car” and “on the bus” will only end in tears and frustrations!
By learning the phrase “in the car” together, all together, will make it easier to remember it and also to get it right every time. You’re not thinking about which preposition but you’re remembering the phrase. All of the words together.
Now last week I talked about these prepositions: in, on, at and by. But all when they’re used to talk about place or the position of something.
Let’s meet at the library.
He’s in the kitchen.
I’ll see you on the bus.
He’s waiting by the car.
If you missed that lesson, you can catch it up here.
But today we’re going to focus on these same prepositions but for when they give information about time.
I’ll be there in five minutes.
I’ll meet you at 3pm on Thursday.
We need to be there by noon.
So first, let’s go over the main points that we need to remember.
“At” is used in reference to specific times on the clock or points of time in the day.
“In” usually refers to period of time.
And “on” is used with dates and named days of the week.
And “by” is used specifically with an end point of time and it means no later than.
At
Let’s start with “at”. Use “at” for very specific times. Clock times for example.
The train arrives at 3:30.
The party starts at midnight.
The meeting will finish at 5:30.
I’ll be there at noon or at midday / at dawn / at dusk.
All of these words refer to specific time but we can also use “at” with other specific times of the day, like:
He doesn’t like driving at night.
I’m going shopping at lunchtime.
I read my daughter a story at bedtime.
Let’s talk about it at dinner (time) tonight.
So there, I just called the time dinner. It’s not the meal name there, I’m using the time.
We’ll talk about it at dinner time, tonight. (But often it’s not spoken)
One thing that you must be careful about is with morning, afternoon, evening and night.
We say “at night” but for all of these other times of the day we say:
“in the morning”
“in the afternoon”
“in the evening”
And don’t forget the article as well, right?
Now there’s also some really common fixed expressions that use the preposition “at” – when you’re referring to a specific point in time.
She’s working at the moment.
So when you’re talking about an action that is happening around the present moment, you’re not using “in the moment” – all the Italians out there!
In the moment, I’m working on a very interesting project. NO!
It’s “at the moment”.
At the moment, I’m working on a very interesting project.
She’s a little busy at present, can I get her to call you back?
It’s quite formal but “at present” means at this time.
I finish the course at the end of April.
So “at the end of” or “at the start of” a period of time is also a common way to refer to a specific point in time.
Note that if you say something happened in the middle of a period of time, you need to use the preposition “in”. But I’ll talk more about that in a moment.
We arrived at the same time.
So we use “at the same time” to say that two separate actions happened simultaneously – at one time.
In
Okay let’s talk about the preposition “in”. “In” is used for periods of time, so seasons or months or even longer periods of time like centuries or decades or years.
I was born in 1986.
He’ll visit them in October.
The ski resort is closed in summer.
He grew up in the seventies. That’s the period of time between 1970 and 1980.
It happened in the 16th century.
Don’t worry, it all happened in the past.
Just as we use “in” for periods of time we also use it for periods of time during the day when we’re not being specific. So…
They’re leaving in the evening.
The baby sleeps in the afternoon.
I work most productively in the morning.
But compare this to:
I start work at 9am.
So there’s specific time and there’s kind of general time. We can also use “in” to describe the amount of time needed to do somethin
I guess
Hope this is correct and helped you ❤️❤️
