the workers are now ______ lunch (preposition)
Answers
Answer:
The workers are now at lunch
Explanation:
The correct usage is "The workers are now at lunch" In lunch is not the correct answer. They might be in the lunchroom or in the cafeteria, but not wallowing in their lunch like pigs in a trough.
To use the preposition "at" for time and events, use it for a precise time or a timed regular event.
Curfew lifts at 7 a.m.
The store closes at midnight.
She went home at lunchtime.
She takes her vitamins at bed time.
She called at lunchtime to say she was taking the day off.
She went home for lunch. This has more of a meaning of the act of getting lunch than the time or where she went at 12-1 p.m.
Lunch is on me, meaning, I'm buying you guys lunch.
Nor do we say "on lunch" to indicate a status like we say "on leave", "on break" "on holiday", "on vacation"
Try not to use your mobile phone during lunch.
