常用时间介词用法 介词的意义和用法相当复杂、灵活
本文试对考生经常出错的几组时间介词的用法进行探讨,以期对考生备考有所帮助
一、 at, in 例1 Both Mary and Betty will get married this year
Mary is going to begin their honeymoon Christmas while Betty _____New Year’s Day
on; on B
at; in C
at; on D
by; on 评析 此题选 C
at 主要用来表示时点,但也可以表示时段,主要用在某些一年中重要的节日名称之前,不仅表示节日的当天,而且也表示整个节日的期间
但如果节日名称后面紧跟 day,那就是表示节日当天,不能用at,而要用on
例2 Suffering from the terrible earthquake, the victims often awake several times _____the night and sometimes they even cannot sleep _____night
in; at B
at; in C
during; in D
in; during 评析 此题选 A
at night 表示整个夜晚,或指白天结束、夜幕刚降临时,而 in/during the night 则指夜间的某一时刻
二、 in, after 例3 He went abroad for further education _____a few weeks
He will go abroad for further education _____a few weeks
