English Your Mind: Prepositions (basics)

About English Your Mind: Prepositions (basics) Android App

‘In the street’ or ‘on the street’? ‘At night’ or ‘in the night’? ‘At London’ or ‘in London’? ‘In the cold morning’ or ‘at the cold morning’? Or maybe ‘on the cold morning’?
Though prepositions are small words they cause significant difficulties for English learners. That is because English has more than 100 prepositions that are used in a different way, when compared to other languages - often without any logic.
When we use at, on, in as prepositions of time we use at to refer to exact time (like clock time), on – to refer to larger time periods (a single day), and in - to refer to large periods of time such as weeks, months, years, etc.
When used as prepositions of place the basic rule is that we use at for exact locations (like a point in space), on – for larger areas and in – for large areas like cities, districts, etc.
There are many exceptions, however. And these basics rules become complicated with many additions that seem to be without any logic.
Of course, this requires paying particular attention if you want to use these small words correctly.
One of the really efficient ways to master the theory is to use visual mnemonics. It provides you with an opportunity to memorize grammar rules rather well and use it in practice. In addition, you will memorize many details that would require much more time if you learned it in a traditional way.
