Q1  15
Q1 15

Question 1: My sister was born ___ 1998.

Question 1 options
'In' is correct because we use 'in' with years. 'At' is used for specific clock times. 'On' is used for days and dates. 'By' means 'not later than' and does not fit here.
Q2 15

Question 2: The party starts ___ 7 pm.

Question 2 options
'At' is correct because we use 'at' with specific clock times. 'In' is used for months, years, and longer periods. 'On' is used for days and dates. 'For' expresses a duration, not a point in time.
Q3 15

Question 3: We use 'on' with days of the week, such as 'on Monday' or 'on Friday'.

Question 3 options
True because 'on' is the correct preposition for specific days of the week. Students often confuse this with 'in', which is used for longer periods like months and years.
Q4 15

Question 4: Which sentence correctly uses a preposition of time?

Question 4 options
'At night' is correct because 'at' is used with parts of the day when they describe a general time rather than a specific clock time. 'In Monday' and 'on the morning' misuse the prepositions for those time expressions, and 'at summer' should be 'in summer'.
Q5 15

Question 5: Arrange the words to make a correct sentence:

Question 5 options
  • Monday morning
  • have class
  • on
  • We

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'We have class on Monday morning' because 'on' is used before a specific day, and the day comes before the part of the day.
Q6 15

Question 6: Which sentence is correct?

Question 6 options
'She was born in March' is correct because we use 'in' with months. 'At March' and 'on March' are incorrect for months. 'In 5th March' mixes a period preposition with a specific date; dates require 'on'.
Q7 15

Question 7: A: When does the shop close? B: It closes ___ midnight every day.

Question 7 options
'At' is correct because we use 'at' with specific points in time such as midnight, noon, and clock times. 'In' is for longer periods, 'on' is for days and dates, and 'during' expresses time within an ongoing event.
Q8 15

Question 8: Which sentence correctly uses 'on' rather than 'in' or 'at'?

Question 8 options
'On my birthday' is correct because 'on' is used with specific days and special personal days. 'On the evening' should be 'in the evening', 'on winter' should be 'in winter', and 'on noon' should be 'at noon'.
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • met for the first time
  • in
  • They
  • the summer

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'They met for the first time in the summer' because 'in' is used before seasons, and the time phrase follows the verb phrase.
Q10 15

Question 10: The school opens ___ the morning and closes in the afternoon.

Question 10 options
'In' is correct because we use 'in' with parts of the day: in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening. 'At' is used for specific clock times or night. 'On' is used for days. 'By' means not later than.
Q11 15

Question 11: Which statement about prepositions of time is true?

Question 11 options
We use 'at' with specific times like 'at 3 o'clock' and also with 'night', 'noon', and 'midnight'. It is not only for clock times. 'In' is not used for days, and 'on' is not used for years or months.
Q12 15

Question 12: Original: 'The concert is on Friday evening.' Transform: 'The concert is ___ .'

Question 12 options
'On Friday evening' is correct because when a day combines with a part of the day, we always use 'on'. 'In Friday evening', 'at Friday evening', and 'by Friday evening' all use the wrong preposition for this combined time expression.
Q13 15

Question 13: Match each sentence to the correct grammar label.

Question 13 options
The match starts at 3 o'clock.
School is closed in August.
We have a test on Thursday.
I love walking in the evening.
IN + month
ON + day of the week
AT + specific clock time
IN + part of the day

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

'At' is used for specific clock times and night/noon/midnight. 'In' is used for months, seasons, years, and parts of the day. 'On' is used for days, dates, and specific named days.
Q14 15

Question 14: We say 'at night' but 'in the morning' and 'in the evening' — 'night' is an exception that uses 'at', not 'in'.

Question 14 options
True because 'night' is a special exception. While we use 'in' for other parts of the day (in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening), we always use 'at night'. Students commonly overgeneralise and say 'in the night'.
Q15 15

Question 15: Which sentence is most natural when talking about a scheduled event on a specific date?

Question 15 options
'On December 25th' is correct because 'on' is used with specific dates. Although 'in December' is grammatically correct, it does not express the specific date. 'At December 25th' and 'in December 25th' both misuse the preposition for a specific date.
