Prepositions of Time

Pulkit has told me to tell you that he will be home after ten. The priest ate his food some time after his cat had drunk its milk.

Dharam woke up at 3:00 A.M. to go to the airport. The postman brings the daily mail at two in the afternoon. Zeeshan and Anil like studying at night. Rohan got up at sunrise and jogged from his house to the National Stadium. Mr. Subramaniam is busy at the moment. Please call after half an hour.

The boss ordered Ramlal to finish the work before five o’clock. Girish always comes to the office half an hour before his colleagues. The thieves escaped through the window well before the alarm was raised.

During Vikramaditya’s reign, there was justice and peace all over. Someone was laughing during my piano recital. The schools are closed during the really hot summer months.

Ramamurthy has been exercising for one hour.

Remember: Use ‘for’ when the noun refers to time duration.

Hari was playing football from six to seven.

I will see Harsh at this same place in five minutes. Roshan’s cousins will be coming to Delhi in July. Zafar’s last movie had released in the year 2000. The young and educated of India were leaving for foreign countries in the 1990s. Gini has won several awards in the past. India was a colonised state in the nineteenth century. Patel decided that he will trim the bushes in the morning.

I forgot to thank Deepa at the party on Friday. I found this magic wand beside the lake of truth on a Wednesday evening. I had great fun on my birthday. We will be in Goa on the first day of the coming New Year. I will miss the flag hoisting ceremony on the Republic Day.

Yuvraj has been playing hockey since he was twelve. Rini has been working non-stop since ten in the morning.

Remember: Use ‘since’ when the noun refers to a point of time.

We have till tomorrow to come up with a solution to the problem. I will be in the examination hall from morning till noon.

They had until Tuesday to finish the project. I will be working in the garden from two until three.

Pulkit has been asked to complete the project within a week.
