Identification of prepositions
of time.
 Identification of prepositions of time.

Prepositions of Time! A preposition can provide us with

information on the relationship between two words
within a sentence, one such relationship is the time
that something is occurring.

For example: ‘the party had ended before the clock

struck 12.’ This shows when something happened and
allows us to understand what is being talked about more
clearly.
In this section, we are going to show you a detailed list of
prepositions of time which will add to your vocabulary as
well as giving you the ability to create more detailed
sentences and sound more fluent.

A preposition of time is a preposition that allows you to

discuss a specific time period.

Preposition of time examples:

On a cold day.
At night.
At the moment.

DAYS OF THE WEEK.
PREPOSITIONS OF TIME.
 One of the most significant units we divide our time
into is the day, and we refer to our days by name
constantly. Without using them, we cannot locate
ourselves or our plans in time, and neither can we
share plans efficiently with others.

 I will demonstrate how to spell, pronounce, and use

the days of the week, understand them in practice,
and recognize common but confusing phrases in
English associated with time vocabulary.
 Why are these names attributed to the days of the
week!

1. Monday: The first day of the week in many cultures,

named after the Moon.

2. Tuesday: The second day of the week, named after the

Norse god Tyr or Tiw, associated with war and law.

3. Wednesday: The third day of the week, named after the

Norse god Odin or Woden, associated with wisdom and poetry.

4. Thursday: The fourth day of the week, named after the

Norse god Thor, associated with thunder and strength.
Why are these names attributed to the days of the
week!

5. Friday: The fifth day of the week, named after the

Norse goddess Frigg or Freyja, associated with love
and fertility.

6. Saturday: The sixth day of the week, named after

the Roman god Saturn, associated with agriculture and
wealth.

7. Sunday: The seventh and final day of the week in

many cultures, named after the Sun.
Why is it useful to know the seven days of the week
in English?
The names of the days carry the most important information.
Consider the following tasks, which need the days of the
week for reference:
 Inviting someone to a party.
 Booking a holiday.
 Explaining what we intend to do in the future.
 Planning an event.
Defending ourselves against an accusation made in the past.

You need to use and understand the days of the week, so we

can organize the future, recall the past, conduct business,
meet people, and make use of our work and leisure time.
How do you pronounce and spell the days of the week
in English?

The pronunciations and spellings of English weekday

names can seem confusing. This is because they
originated from other languages, and are not
pronounced as they are spelled.
