1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:09,660
In this grammar refresh, we'll be talking about how to use the preposition on and in when talking about

2
00:00:09,660 --> 00:00:13,470
dates and days or months and years.

3
00:00:14,750 --> 00:00:23,190
So when we use on it will be using this preposition with dates and dates, when we say dates really

4
00:00:23,270 --> 00:00:25,970
mean that the actual number of the date.

5
00:00:26,630 --> 00:00:26,990
Right.

6
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:38,450
So we use on these types of things dates or dates and of shorter periods of time, so we're arriving

7
00:00:38,450 --> 00:00:40,760
on the 8th of April.

8
00:00:41,610 --> 00:00:49,030
And again, the 8th of April, that's the British date format, if it was American, you'd say we're

9
00:00:49,030 --> 00:00:50,730
arriving on April 8th.

10
00:00:51,490 --> 00:00:53,830
Still both ways we use on it.

11
00:00:54,430 --> 00:00:58,900
So another example is I don't work on Fridays.

12
00:00:59,450 --> 00:01:00,580
Again, this is a date.

13
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,400
Don't work on Fridays.

14
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,850
So Friday is a day in April 8th.

15
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,030
That is also a date.

16
00:01:08,050 --> 00:01:08,380
Right.

17
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,150
So, again, these are very similar.

18
00:01:11,620 --> 00:01:19,180
Ellen is often grumpy on Monday mornings, again on and then the day.

19
00:01:20,340 --> 00:01:25,550
The last example, we usually hang out at our place on Thursday night.

20
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,840
So even though we're talking about either Thursday night or Monday morning, right.

21
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,040
It's a part of the day.

22
00:01:32,860 --> 00:01:34,650
This is a shorter period of time.

23
00:01:34,980 --> 00:01:37,050
And we're using this preposition on.

24
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:45,540
And now, in contrast, when we have a longer period of time, like a month or a season or even a year.

25
00:01:46,890 --> 00:01:50,040
We're going to use in the preposition in.

26
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,360
Kyle and Deborah are getting married in December.

27
00:01:57,090 --> 00:02:00,050
It's not on December, it's in December.

28
00:02:01,220 --> 00:02:07,110
Again, on is four days on Friday, on the 8th of April.

29
00:02:07,970 --> 00:02:09,470
You could say island.

30
00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:16,750
We are getting married on Friday, but Kyle and Debra are getting married in December.

31
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:24,190
The next example, it gets unbearably hot here in summer.

32
00:02:25,290 --> 00:02:31,320
Again, it's not on summer, it's in summer is longer periods use in.

33
00:02:32,340 --> 00:02:37,920
Our next example, our uncle was born in nineteen seventy three.

34
00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:43,320
And the last example, the movie is set in the 80s.
