thank you , it is very easy and helpful lesson
Thank you very much is good leson.
i got 1oo :D Woowwww
Am I right with the following?
I arrived IN the end of the winter (IN) 1999.
I’m not a teacher but my opinion is no. Because, ‘the end of the winter’ is pretty specific time. ‘In’ covers time in broader sense.
I would say: “I arrived AT the end of the winter IN 1999.”
You can use Lang-8.com in order to be corrected in your writing.

Thank you Rebecca. Great lesson and very useful

Old school is the best. Thank you Rebecca! Prepositions are my mortal enemies, keep on doing lessons like this please. Good luck!
Hello, We are really appreciative for what you are

universities from applying to studying there.

Thanks Dear Rebeca.

Vera Abreu – Brasil
Thank you very much Rebecca.
@Fatiima: the Hilton is a “specific place” so you have to use “at” and not “in”, because We use in with cities and countries.
thanks a lot ;) easy and smooth
thank you very much rebecca, i learned it. take care yourself.
Thanks a lot it’s a great lesson. Sometimes I write wrong prepositions, now is clear.
How to Remember Exceptions for every word? This is the main reason I hate, is there any technique to remember them easily.
thank you robica
Hi, Rebecca. I want to thank you very much for your videos. Its help me a lot. Now, I have a request, little off topic. I’ve started to make some quizes on my notebook, but.. my hand writing is not so good. I am not sure how to write by hand correctly some letters. Can you make a short movie about how to write by hand all the letters and when we have to use capitalize letters. Thank you very much! Cata
Hi thank you so much for the information . it is really good.
Very useful. Thank you, Rebecca. I like your way of teaching!
Thank you Rebecca. I want to ask you that: in this sentence “I’ll be arriving ______ Friday and leaving the following Thursday.” why we don’t get “on” before Thursday ?
Cunku o cumlede future tens kullaniliyor
As usual, a great lesson. Thanks a lot!
many thanks Rebecca for this lesson, it’s very useful.
we always tend to make mistakes with the prepositions.
amazing! very helpful!!
Great!!! Its very helpful …
Thankful for your kindness and share .. ;)
It is very helpful….so i have to say thanks rebecca.
wow.. it’s great. I like it.
Thank you very much, Rebecca for you lesson. I’m pleased to learn English by using the EngVid.com site. It gives me the opportunity to improve my language skills. I fill this. Might I make my guess about the rules in your last lesson? I’ve formulated the following: As far as time is concerned we use the preposition AT if the specific moment is indicated (it’s clear);
the preposition ON if the duration isn’t more than 24 hrs, i.e. the whole day long or the date.
If the duration is more than one day long we use “IN”. That means two, three days, etc, a whole week, a month, a season, an year, the glacial epoque, a lifetime of the universe.
For instance, I’m going to leave Saint Petersburg in the last week of July.
Am I right in my guess? or is it just erroneous conjecture?
Anyway, please correct my example.
Many thaks,but I have a question?when can I use the preposition of “in”?EX:I’m in the offive or hospital or I’m at the office or hospital.Could u guide me?many thanks again.
Am i right if i could say, I arrived in the Maldives at the end of the Winter in 2012?
This grammar lesson is useful to me.
thank you Rebecca.
Hi Rebecca !!! thanks for video, it’s very useful !!!
Hi Rebecca,I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for such a wonderful explanation videos. I would like to request you please do some more videos in the Grammar point like TENSES in English(PAST,PRESENT,FUTURE).

Thank you Rebeca but I have a question: Must I use prepositions before ‘downtown’?
Thank`s Rebeca, you lesson`s great!!!
Somewere i was leationed in t.v ”all this u can bye at only …this price ….” Can u please explane me . Please. I want to know about use of (at) there …
I’m so confused with at, on, in: There are 2 sentence from Torontostar includes prepositions,Robeca Could u pls help to clear this,
1- in the Sept. 4 vote. – why not on the Sept.4 vote? (because it is specific date)
2-in the Quebec construction industry – why not at the Quebec construction industry? (because it is a specific industry?)
Those articles from the Torontostar newspaper:
1)And the survey found that 70 per cent of respondents believe the Quebec Liberal government is corrupt, which would not be good news for Charest as he seeks a fourth term as premier in the Sept. 4 vote.
2)The former Montreal police chief is best known for leaking his explosive government-ordered report into corruption and collusion in the Quebec construction industry
Please Robeca or Alex clear this confusions.
Thanks in Advance.
More Confusions:
1)In the same hospital – why not at the same hospital?
2)in these Olympics – why not at these Olympics? (such as at these party?)
3)in a sunny British territory – why not at a sunny British territory?
4)on one sector – why not in / at one sector?
5)on real estate deals – why not in real estate deals?
6)in the market – why not at the market?
Source – Again from the Same news paper :
Two days later, Huynh was treated in the same hospitalTwo days later,
Huynh was treated in the same hospital
)2The 500-metre race has been replaced with a 200-metre sprint in these Olympics,
3)Paul Fordham is escaping cold weather and the taxman by working in a sunny British territory in the Caribbean
4)impose income taxes on workers, but not on one sector of the population.
5)stamp duty on real estate deals and duties on imported goods already make
6)a payroll tax combined with the work permit fees would make the Caymans less competitive in the market for skilled professionals.
Can i use this line ? ‘i m not afraid of you .’ please answer me ..i m waiting Rebecca .
afraid of what cool
Thanx.

Hi Rebecca:
Could you please explain the difference between Might have and Might. Both are past tense of May, for example They were not at home, they might have gone to park.we used here have plus P.P. what if I say in simple past for example they were not at home they might go to the park? Notice verb is in base form? What would be differnce between these two sentence. Why we used Have plus P.P in first one?
Kindly help
Thanks.
