Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Choose between in, on and at according to whether the time expression is a clock time, a day or date, or a longer period
Spot a wrongly used time preposition inside a written sentence and replace it with the correct one
Assemble a grammatical sentence from scrambled words, placing the time preposition in the right position
Teaching tips
The two gap-fill pages are near-identical in demand, so one works as a taught practice and the other as an unaided check a day later
Compare gap-fill and correction responses to identify time expressions that need further modelling
Check the scrambled sentences on the last page before handing them out; several word lists contain a surplus word that needs removing rather than placing
Skills covered
Choosing time prepositions - students decide between in, on and at for expressions ranging from 8:00 AM and 7 PM to Friday afternoon, December and the holidays.
Recognising the pattern behind the choice - clock times take at, named days and dates take on, and months and seasons usually take in; distinguish in the morning, on Monday morning and at night.
Sentence construction - the closing page scrambles seven sentences and asks students to rebuild each one with its time preposition in the right place.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Which task types does the set move through?
Five distinct ones. Two pages are straight gap-fills, one gives three options to choose between, one asks students to find and correct a mistake already in the sentence, one asks for a true-or-false judgement on the usage, and the last scrambles the words for students to reassemble.
What sort of situations do the sentences describe?
Everyday adult and school routines rather than child-centred ones - a 6:30 AM wake-up, a Friday afternoon meeting, a flight scheduled for 6 AM, a wedding on October 12th, jogging in the evening and a museum closed on Mondays.
Which time expressions come up most often across the pages?
Clock times and parts of the day dominate - AM and PM times appear on every page, and "the morning", "the evening" and "the afternoon" recur throughout. Months, dates, named days, seasons and "the holidays" fill out the rest, so all three prepositions get repeated work.
