Not "Our class is on seven o'clock." — say "Our class is at seven o'clock.". 钟点用 at,不用 "on"。
试一试: Ethan: Come early. The center is open ___ eight-thirty. (at / on / in) 答案: at — Eight-thirty 是钟点,钟点用 at。"On" 接某一天,"in" 接一天中的某个时段。
on = 某一天
记住这个搭配:on + 星期几。
We have class on Monday.
The center is closed on Sunday.
I see my friends on the weekend.
Not "We have class at Monday." — say "We have class on Monday.". 某一天用 on,不用 "at"。
试一试: Maya: Bring your book. The art class is ___ Friday. (on / at / in) 答案: on — Friday 是一周里的某一天,说某一天要用 on。"At" 接钟点,"in" 接一天中的某个时段。
in the morning,但 at night
记住这些:in the morning / afternoon / evening,但要说 at night。
I study in the morning.
We have class in the afternoon.
The center is closed at night.
Not "The center is closed in night." — say "The center is closed at night.". 我们说 in the morning / afternoon / evening,但说夜里要用 at night。
试一试: Maya: I draw my pictures ___ night. It is quiet then. (at / in / on) 答案: at — Night 是一天中唯一用 at 的时段。morning、afternoon 和 evening 都用 in。
When is the class?
问时间,就用 When is 开头。回答可以把星期几和钟点一起说出来。
When is the class? — On Monday, at seven.
When is your class? — On Saturday, at noon.
When is the next one? — In the afternoon.
Not "When are the class?" — say "When is the class?". 一节课是一件事,所以问句用 is:When is the class?
试一试: Ethan: ___ Maya: On Wednesday, at a quarter after ten. 选出 Ethan 的问题。 (When is the class? / Where is the class? / Who is the class?) 答案: When is the class? — Maya 回答的是星期几和钟点,所以 Ethan 问的是 When is the class? 问 "Where" 会得到一个地点,问 "who" 会得到一个人。
试一试: Ethan: Come after the last class. We are free ___ the evening. (in / at / on) 答案: in — evening 是一天中的一个时段,这类词用 in。"At" 适合 night 或钟点,"on" 适合 Sunday 这样的某一天。
