Free Printable Prepositions of Time Exercises and Worksheets (PDF with Answers) — Practice Quiz

1 / 5
Q1

Question 1: Which preposition of time correctly completes the sentence? "She was born ___ 2005."

Question 1 options
"In" is the correct preposition used with years. We say "in 2005" because years are longer periods of time, and "in" is used for months, years, centuries, and long periods.
Q2

Question 2: The preposition "on" is used with specific times of the day such as 9 o'clock and 3 PM.

Question 2 options
This is false. The preposition "at" is used with specific clock times, such as "at 9 o'clock" and "at 3 PM." The preposition "on" is used with days and dates.
Q3

Question 3: Which sentence uses prepositions of time correctly?

Question 3 options
"We always celebrate New Year's Eve on December 31" is correct because "on" is used with specific dates. The other options misuse prepositions: holidays like Christmas take "at," mornings take "in," and months take "in."
Q4

Question 4: Match each time expression with the correct preposition of time.

Question 4 options
7 AM
August
Monday morning
the weekend
at / on
in
on
at

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

"At" is used with specific times (7 AM) and holidays (Christmas). "In" is used with months (August). "On" is used with specific days (Monday morning).
Q5
