LESSON 4 CAN THEY WORK TOGETHER, MIKE?
Teaching Materials: Prepositions of Time
1. Prepositions of Time
Prepositions of time are used to indicate when something happens. Common prepositions of time include:
- At: specific times (e.g., at 5 PM)
- On: specific days and dates (e.g., on Monday, on July 4th)
- In: longer periods (e.g., in the morning, in 2024)
2. Positive Sentences
In positive sentences, prepositions of time are used to indicate when an action occurs.
Structure:
Subject + verb + preposition of time + object
Examples:
- She will arrive at 6 PM.
- They are meeting on Monday.
- I will visit them in August.
3. Negative Sentences
To form negative sentences, add "not" after the verb.
Structure:
Subject + will/would + not + verb + preposition of time + object
Examples:
- She will not arrive at 6 PM.
- They are not meeting on Monday.
- I will not visit them in August.
4. Questions
To form questions, invert the subject and auxiliary verb (if present) or place the preposition of time at the end of the question.
Structure:
Will/Would + subject + verb + preposition of time + object?
Examples:
- Will she arrive at 6 PM?
- Are they meeting on Monday?
- Will I visit them in August?
