IN the morning. Morning is a determined period with a "volume" of few hours. A kind of "box" you can put your action IN. ON Sunday. Sunday is a day in your agenda, a page and you can note down ON this page. AT night. At a very precise moment of the night. At least this is how I explain my students these notions. It is helpful if you can link abstract notions with concrete elements. |

You can draw a clock using three concentric circles. The smaller is the circle, the smaller is the time period. The hours are in the first circle, the smaller one, as well as all the parts of the day (at dawn, at night, at breakfast, at dusk...) with three exceptions: morning, afternoon y evening. In my opinion is easier to remember morning, afternoon and evening as excepcion than the opposite way. In the second circle, ON, I draw the days of the week. The dates and the "special days" like birthday dates are also in this circle. In the third circle, the largest (weeks, years), I divide them in months and seasons.
There is another exception: Holidays go with (at: Easter, Christmas, weekend).
I hope this way may be useful for your classes. Maryse Pey� �s method also looks very practical. |

hi, in fact there are rules for the use of in/on/at at+time (ex at 9 o �clock) in+ part of a day (ex in the morning) but there are exceptions at night/ at noon on+ day (ex on Monday) in fact, you can give examples to pupils then they can deduce the rule by themselves have a nice day |
