You lose your credit card. 

You have a car accident and think the other driver is 

responsible. 

Your children are unhappy at school,

 etc.

Test yourself: prepositions of time

2

  Start by asking students to read the second part of the 

Refresh your memory

 box. With lower-level groups, read out 

some ‘times’ (e.g. 

Sunday, 6 o’clock, May

) as prompts, and 

have students call out the correct preposition (

on Sunday, at  

6 o’clock, in May,

 etc).

For more practice, ask students to work through exercise 11 in 

the 

Grammar and practice

 section (page 119 in the Student’s 

Book, answers on page 116 in this book).

Students complete the text using prepositions of time. Check 

answers with the whole class.
