Three Magic Words: At, On, and In

These three words can help you show either time or place.

Time

At 12:45, at dusk, at sunrise

On Friday, on our anniversary

In the evening, in June, in 1990, tested in forty minutes

Place

At the library, standing at the edge, walking at the signal, yelling ‘Surprise!’ at Sophie

On the fridge, the building on Sixth Street, on the stage

In the book, in Seattle, in my bedroom
