English
When do we use "in", "on", "at" for time and place?
Top answer
We use “in,” “on,” and “at” for both time and place, but each one shows a different level of detail. For time, use “in” for long periods such as months, years, centuries, and parts of the day, for example: in July, in 2026, in the morning. Use “on” for specific days and dates, such as on Monday, on my birthday, on 5th May.
