Prepositions of Time

Prepositions of Time

Warm-Up/Review:

Begin by reviewing the following prepositions with the students (here they are shown in Ukrainian).

Then, have students translate them into English:

 

Presentation of New Material:

Have students copy the following chart into their exercise books, or onto a sheet of paper.

 

Fill in the Ukrainian rules of use….

 

…and then have the students help you to translate them into English.

 

Finally, give them examples for each rule of use.

 

Practice:

Students will recreate the chart by pairing the correct preposition with its rules of use, both in Ukrainian and in English.

 

Application:

Students will be given cards, or squares of paper, with examples on them. Students must then A) choose the correct preposition for this example, and then B) create a full sentence communicating an event in this time example.

 

For example:

1.       The evening à  In the evening à I eat dinner in the evening.

2.       Tuesday à On Tuesday à I have geography class on Tuesday.

3.       Lunch à At lunch à I see my friends at lunch.

4.       …Monday…Friday à From Monday to Friday à I go to school from Monday to Friday each week.

Check for Understanding:

Students will read their sentences aloud to the class; the other students will agree or disagree and help to correct any errors.
