Introduction to Prepositions of Time
Prepositions of time are words that link nouns, pronouns, or phrases to other words in a sentence, indicating when something happens. Common prepositions of time include 'before,' 'after,' 'during,' 'at,' 'by,' 'until,' and 'since.' Using the correct preposition is essential for clear communication about time. For example, you might say, 'The meeting is scheduled for 3 p.m.' or 'We will go on vacation during summer.' Understanding how to use these prepositions appropriately will improve both your writing and speaking skills.
