while we wait I want to review a couple

of different questions that came in from

last week’s broadcast so if you watched

last week’s broadcast we talked about

phrasal verbs with run we talked about a

lot of different verbs with run so there

were some good questions someone key

fellas asked is run away with murder an

idiom no but it’s very close it’s

actually get away with murder

get away with murder means to do murder

and to not be in trouble for it to not

be caught that was one question and

another really good question from uh

Jairo is ubi oh sorry uh is is it

correct to say he runs the park to mean

he is responsible for the park yes so to

run a business to run a shop to run

something means to be responsible for

something so nice questions also as with

every week I prepared an example of last

week’s point from my life so as usual I

have a tweet from this week let’s see

it’s gonna be here so I used the word

run I used the grammar point run it’s

hard for me to see on the screen so I

said huge thanks to people I can’t see

it here’s thanks to people writing

questions and feedback so I said the key

point here was I don’t think we’ll ever

run out of stuff to make oh thank you

thanks guys so the key point here was I

don’t think we’ll ever run out so I used

a run out as part of our lesson content

last week so run out of something means

to not have any more left of something

but this comment is about lots of people

have been writing comments on the live

streams on the videos some of you been

writing to me directly on like Twitter

Leonel from Guatemala hi alright so

before we begin today I have one more

announcement so the crew told me before

we started this broadcast today today

we’re using something called super chat

on YouTube so there’s a new function on

YouTube called super chat so if you want

to I think it’s the like the dollar sign

icon there at the bottom of the chat if

you want to make sure your comment gets

seen or if you want your comment

highlighted in the chat on youtube hit

the super chat button and then there’s

some function like you can make your

comment like appear more like clearly to

everybody so that’s something new that

we’re trying today so if you’re

interested and you know how to use that

check that out oh ok let’s begin

so all hi from Japan great let’s begin

today’s topic so today’s topic is

prepositions of time so actually I

wanted to talk

about prepositions prepositions is a

topic a lot of you have had questions

about but I want to break it into two

kind of lessons so this week we’re going

to talk about prepositions of time and

next week we’re going to talk about

prepositions of location so this week I

want to focus on at on in and buy so

let’s get started and today I’m gonna

try something a little new with

prepositions I have the whiteboard again

today so hopefully we can get some good

visuals going oh right so let’s begin

let’s begin with some prepositions we’re

going to start today I hope you’re ready

we’re going to start today with the

preposition on on okay so lots of people

ask when do we use on at what point in

time should I use the preposition on so

I tried to make a little visual I’ll

hang on I’m gonna make it now so when

should you use on so on we use on with

locations right to mean like on the

table or on my head or on my desk or

something like that so let’s use a

similar visual for time prepositions so

for example we use the preposition ond

for days and for the weekend so on by

this I mean we use it like with on

Saturday on Sunday on the weekend on

Monday and we can use this with a day

plus a time of day so like on Saturday

in the morning or on Monday night on

yeah on the weekend as I said so the

first one I want to practice today is on

so I have this visual like on over day

so on a day on the weekend so please

remember that we use the preposition on

when we’re talking about a day or a

weekend so let’s practice using on in a

sentence I have a couple of examples I

want to try with you so please get your

you

chatting you’re chatting mode ready um

so today let’s use the word on and a few

weeks ago maybe you joined us when we

studied going to and will I want to

review those in this lesson today so our

first question today what are you going

to do on Saturday night what are you

going to do on Saturday night so here’s

on right our preposition before the day

what are you going to do on Saturday

night and then here we have going to if

you joined our broadcast a few weeks ago

you know that going to is used for a

plan you made before the conversation so

what have you decided to do before this

broadcast so your answer should fit this

pattern I’m going to blah blah blah on

Saturday night what are you going to do

on Saturday night alright let’s see dami

Nick we’re going to talk about months in

just a moment we do not use on for

months but we’re going to talk about

that in just a moment so what are you

going to do on Saturday night try to

make a full sentence so I’m going to eat

dinner with my friends on Saturday night

says I’m going to see a dinosaur a

dinosaur show that’s hard to say

dinosaur show on Saturday night what’s

that a dinosaur a dinosaur show that’s

hard to say

a dinosaur show okay great so this is

how we use on so please remember we use

on like we’ve done here on a day or week

some of you have said on Sunday or on

the weekend and so on so please remember

we use on for days and the weekend so

you could say I’m going to what was it

study Japanese on the weekend I’m going

to watch football on the weekend I’m

going to play guitar on the weekend we

can use the weekend here instead of

Saturday night

but great so our first preposition for

today is on all right let’s go to the

second preposition for today let me

check my notes can I take the mouse for

a second thank you okay so our second

preposition for today is at I want to

talk about at now so at I don’t really

have the best visual in the world

old for at but I’m going to try here so

just a second I’m drawing I’m not an

artist I’m drawing we use at now

somebody asked a question oh no your

question was about on we’re going to

talk about on after we talked about at

but I’m making my little act visual

right now just a second okay so when

should we use at it is different from

when we use on please be careful we

cannot intermix we cannot interchange at

and on so let’s take a look we use at

for an exact point in time so here’s my

visual for at use at for a time like

seven o’clock eleven o’clock twelve

o’clock and we use it for night at

tonight at tonight I have here to the

weekend this is like a British English

thing though at the weekend American

English speakers do not say at the

weekend American English speakers say on

the weekend on the weekend British

English speakers might use at the

weekend so I don’t use at the weekend

but you might see it used sometimes at

the weekend but for me

I use it four times and by time I mean

o’clock that’s 7 at 10:00 at 9:00 and we

use it for night something something at

night so I want to focus today on these

two points something at a specific time

and at night so it’s now time let’s make

some sentences using at with a time or

with at night so let’s try to let’s try

a time sentence first

so our practice sentence for at is what

do you usually do at about 7:00 p.m. so

here I have about we can include about

here before the time yeah what do you

usually do at at about 7:00 p.m. also

notice this sentence usually we need to

use a present tense verb here I usually

we use the present tense for regular

actions yeah this is a regular action

so what do you usually do at about 7:00

p.m. so me I usually finish work at

nice sentences with that so we have

practiced um let’s see

we’ve practiced now on yeah and at okay

and then while I draw my next beautiful

image I think I had want to introduce

this week’s a special thing I think

we’ve talked about it a little bit in

the past before we have these PDF sheets

that you can check out there we call

them cheat sheets so cheating it makes

it sound like if something becomes

really really easy so take a look we

have these PDF cheat sheets I don’t know

if they can see them right now there we

go yeah so take a look at these PDF

cheat sheets they have a lot of

different topics so if you need to use

English like it works for example if you

need to use English at school maybe when

you’re going out to eat these are some

really really good things that you can

take a look at because they just have

some basic vocabulary words and maybe

some basic phrases

that can be very very useful depending

on the situation that you’re in so take

a look at those head on over to English

class 101.com and you can download those

for free those are part of the free

gifts I think for this month so take a

look definitely go download those go

download those no may be very helpful

for you okay so with that said oh also

question let us know there okay but

let’s move on to maybe the most complex

the most complex preposition for today

so we’re gonna talk about in now in so

hang on I forgot to use the correct

color I have this I have a color scheme

going on I forgot okay let’s take a look

at in so here is my visual for in okay

you can see in which we use in terms of

location we use in for leg boxes and

things like put something in something

else so let’s use the same visual for

time period so in you can see I have

months here

let’s see seasons here a period of time

so this means like minutes or days or

years or something like that a period of

time we use in we also use it in the

afternoon in the morning so these are

the cases where we use in for months and

seasons in September in October in

November in seasons in summer in winter

in fall and spring in the morning in the

afternoon and in five minutes in two

hours in four years so these are the

cases where we use in okay

so please remember in looks kind of like

this for a visual use on for days and

weekends and we use act for a specific

time okay so let’s try a practice

sentence using in all right let’s take a

look it’s September now it is September

so let’s look at this example sentence

because I’m running out of time as usual

so our next question within is going to

be what do you think you’ll what do you

think you will do in the morning or in

the evening we’ll use the will form now

so we’re gonna change within we use in

for mornings let’s see afternoon oh

sorry I should have written evening here

as well in the morning or in the evening

what do you think you’ll do okay I’ve

got to go a bit lower here should I go

here okay but what do you think you’ll

do in the morning in the evening is

there question here so remember we

studied will and going to yeah so this

is a decision you’re making right now I

think I’ll ba ba ba in the morning or in

the evening depending on what time it is

where you are I think I go running in

the evening I think I’ll cook something

in the evening I think I’ll make a pizza

in the evening I think I’ll watch

Netflix in the evening I think I’ll

watch a superhero show in the evening

these are all things we can decide now

all right so let’s try to practise this

let’s review this grammar point from a

few weeks ago yeah okay on Facebook

first one abs and JFR I think I’ll do

nothing in the morning oh that sounds

nice great

badou ha mod I will I’ll eat in the

morning great

Alejandro I think I’ll drink don’t

forget your verb I think I’ll drink

orange juice in the morning good hue is

warm in here um let’s see

I’ll drink coffee in the mornings these

are nice I think

I’ll still be working in the morning on

YouTube milena I think I’ll exercise in

the morning Caroline I’ll wake up in the

morning Alex I’ll drink milk in the

morning I think I’ll run in the morning

I think I’ll get up in the morning I

think I’ll learn English in the morning

I think I’ll go to Quito city in the

morning I think I’ll be rich in the

morning how is that going to happen good

try sorry um let’s see I think I’ll eat

chicken in the Lord that sounds like a

good morning to me uh I think I’ll eat

spiders in the most seriously what is

the deal with spiders today guys this is

just weird what is the deal with spiders

what’s the deal means like what do you

mean like why why are you talking what’s

the deal is like a confusion phrase

what’s the deal with blah blah blah

what’s the deal with spiders today you

guys are hilarious hilarious means very

funny hilarious is very funny you guys

are way you guys are all about spiders

today okay

we have to stop there so uh let’s see I

wanted to talk about bye but I don’t

think I have time do I do I have time no

probably not

I need to finish yeah I do I have time I

can talk about it okay producer says yes

so let’s go I’m running out of time for

visuals so our last preposition for

today I’m going to make it very very

small on my little visual chart here the

last one I want to talk about is by so

actually we just started a new series on

the YouTube channel by the way it’s like

I’m just teaching like super serious

lessons in front of a whiteboard but the

very first lesson is actually about this

point the difference between bye and

until so we use by with time to talk

about a deadline we have a deadline for

something that needs to happen and so we

use by to express that deadline so this

is sort of it’s so small I’m so sorry

can you see it Casey

so here’s my timeline yeah so this blob

here this thing

this is now and then then in the future

is over here but here my deadline

something I am going to do in the future

we use by to express that deadline so

for example if I want to say like what

time do you usually have to leave for

work or school I would say I have to

leave for work by 10 o’clock I have to

leave for work by 7 o’clock

something like that so we use by in this

way to talk about deadlines so I don’t

have time I have run out of time to talk

in depth to talk a lot about this

grammar point so if you want to know

more about bye please check the YouTube

channel like just two days ago I think

yeah

two days ago one day go our new series

our new video is there so please check

that video I seriously I just talked for

like 15 minutes about it so please go to

youtube and check the new video out for

that okay my last point for today my

last point for today so we talked about

on and at and in and by but sometimes we

don’t need any preposition at all and

this is one that I hear a lot of people

make mistakes with if you use this

before a day before the weekend before a

month no preposition is needed so when

you say what are you doing this weekend

what are you doing

this September what are you doing this

evening no preposition if you use this

you should not use a preposition with

that phrase the only exception is when

you use bye

so I need to find a new job by this

winter I need to find a new job by this

November

for example we can use this with by but

know at know in know on when you use

this plus a weekend plus a day and so on

okay whew

so that was a lot of information and I

am late I have run out of time

thanks you go uh let’s see so I think

that’s all I need to talk about for

today thank you guys for your awesome

awesome sentences like you were really

really fast I couldn’t read them quickly

enough that was fantastic so please keep

in mind yeah these prepositions next

week so next week’s live stream we’re

going to talk about prepositions yes but

next week I’m going to talk about

prepositions of location so this week we

talked about prepositions of time next

week we’re going to talk about

prepositions of location so it’s going

to be similar words but in a different

way to use them how to use them to talk

about places for example so that’s one

thing so that’s next week September 20th
