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

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

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

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
