Hello, sweetie! Last week I sent you a free PDF about how to deal with invitations in English. (If you missed it, click here<\/a>!)<\/p>\n

I got so many lovely responses (thank you all for that!) that I\u2019d like to take it a step further today and let you know how to use those pesky prepositions when it comes to making an appointment in English. This is to prevent you from ever getting stood up because your date had the wrong date! I\u2019m going to keep it really simple. Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n

IN<\/strong>\u00a0= used for\u00a0longer periods<\/strong>\u00a0of time. For example, IN March (and yes, months of the year are capitalized in English), IN the summer, IN 2015, IN the future, IN the morning, evening, afternoon, etc.<\/p>\n

ON<\/strong>= used for a day or a date. Think of ON Tuesday (and yes, days of the week are capitalized in English), ON March 1st<\/sup>, ON my birthday, ON Christmas Day, etc.<\/p>\n

AT<\/strong>\u00a0= used for a specific moment or period of time. For example, AT 5:30, AT midnight, and AT night (that\u2019s a tricky one), AT Christmas (when you mean the period\/season but not the actual day itself), AT the moment, etc.<\/p>\n

So, to keep it short and sweet \u2013 when you think of
\nIN<\/strong>\u00a0= think of a whole calendar (in January)
\nON<\/strong>\u00a0= think of a date on that calendar (on January 12th<\/sup>)
\nAT<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 think of a clock or a watch (at 7.15). Oh, and you know the difference between AM and PM, right? AM\u00a0 – that starts at midnight (an easy way to remember this is \u2018after midnight\u2019) and PM starts at noon (remember this by thinking \u2018pre-midnight\u2019).<\/p>\n

Now that you know how to set up the invitations we started last week, there\u2019s no need to ever get confused about asking that hottie out again! (Or, you know making a boring old business appointment. That\u2019s also important. Sometimes.)<\/p>\n

HERE\u2019S ME DOING IT WITH ANIMALS.<\/strong>
\nGo wash your mind. I am doing\u00a0GRAMMAR<\/a>\u00a0with animals.<\/p>\n

MY MOTHER\u2019S APRON MADE ITS TV DEBUT LAST WEEK!\u00a0<\/strong>
\nI was talking turkey on Hallo\u00a0Nederland \u2013\u00a0click here<\/a>\u00a0in case you missed it. (Now my mother\u2019s apron has her own trailer, and there\u2019s paparazzi helicopters hovering over my kitchen all the time \u2013 it\u2019s ridiculous!)<\/p>\n

GOTTA GO WASH MY HAIR\u2026<\/strong>
\nbecause someone\u2019s just asked me out so clearly by using prepositions so well! Hate to love you and leave you but I promise I\u2019ll be back next week again with more tips and tricks to keep your inbox out of trouble. Until then,\u00a0hier<\/a>\u00a0are some pick up lines. Go for it.<\/p>\n
