CBSE Class 10 English Grammar - Prepositions

1. A preposition may be defined as a word or group of words (e.g. at, in, out of, etc.) used before a noun, pronoun, gerund, etc. to show its relation with another word in a sentence.

For example:

They came here at 5 p.m. He was born in 1980. She went out of the room.

These prepositions relate to time, place, position, direction, means, etc.

At is used to indicate when something happens. We use at with clock times, e.g. periods of the year, and periods of the day, festivals, etc. But we don’t use at with ‘morning’, ‘evening’, ‘afternoon’, etc.
