AT / ON / IN FOR TIME
Dando seguimento ao artigo anterior sobre prepoições, hoje irei falar sobre preposições usadas em inglês para tempo.
Comparemos o correto uso das preposições at / on / in for time:
- I arrived at 6 o'clock.
- She arrives on Friday.
- They arrived in January. / They arrived in 1964.
AT
Usamos a preposição at para horário ou tempo em especíifico, assim como feriados públicos ou com a palavra fim-de-semana (weekend).
- I go to the gym at lunchtime.
- Maria was born at 5.00.
- We're going away at Easter.
- Let's go to the beach at the weekend.
ON
Usamos a preposição on quando nos referimos aos dias da semana ou a uma parte do dia em específico e ainda com datas:
- I spoke to Maria on Monday
- I will see you on Sunday afternoon.
- My parents arrived on Christmas Day.

iN
Usamos a preposição in para periodos longos como meses, anos, estações:

Também usamos in quando nós referimos à duração de algo que estamos ou estivemos fazendo.
