Slide 15 - Open vraag

3 extra points
So, you've done one activity about in, at, and on
But what about when things are not so clear?

Slide 16 - Tekstslide

tip 1 - On Saturday night 
We would normally say on Saturday and at night
So should it be on – for Saturday – or at – for night


We're meeting on Saturday night.
We use the preposition on even though there is another time expression afterwards.

Slide 17 - Tekstslide

Tip 2 - On Christmas morning
Normally we use at for festivals like Christmas and we use in for parts of the day like the morning, but Christmas Day is actually a specific day, rather than a whole festival, so we use on. 

Again, we use the preposition on even though there is another time expression afterwards.

Slide 18 - Tekstslide

Tip 3 - No preposition
Finally, in, at and on are not generally used before the words today, tomorrow and yesterday:

I can't go tomorrow
He wrote that article yesterday

We don't use in, on or at in time expressions with the words this, that, next, last, all, one, each, some and every:
I slept all day
He didn't come last night
