    I had a student who was struggling with the prepositions in, on and at. I used the zoom annotations to draw rectangles of different colours for each preposition. I then wrote an explanation for each inside the rectangle. 1. at : is used for clock times, exact times of a day, e.g. "at night, at 5 pm, at sunset". 2. in : is used for months, years, seasons, eras, morning/afternoon/evening. E.g. in March, in the evening, in spring, in 2023. 3. on : is used for days, dates, holidays, weekends, etc. I then asked the student about their daily routine. I used sentence starters and modelling. Ex. When is your birthday? My birthday is ....... What do you do in evening? at night? When are you starting your new job? I am starting my new job......... The lights switched on for my student. She said: Thank you teacher. Now I understand the difference.
