Instructions for Prepositions of time

In these exercises you will practise prepositions of time.

We use "in" when talking about longer periods of time (years, months, seasons) or when talking about time in general (see you in five minutes, etc.).

We use "on" when talking about specific days or dates (on Monday, on the 25th).

We use "at" when talking about a specific time (at twelse, at noon) or when talking about holidays (at Christmas, at Hannukah).

We use "for" when talking about how long something has been going on (I have lived in London for five years).

We use "since" when talking about when something started (I have lived in London since 2014).

We use "ago" when talking about when something happened in the past (I moved to London five years ago).

Level 1 to 2

Multiple choice - On each level you will get up to ten questions with or without images, video and audio tracks. For each question you will get two or three possible answers. Only one of these is correct. It's up to you to find the right answer. If you guess incorrectly, you may try again, but you will not get any knowledge points for that round.

Level 3 to 5

Questions with text answers - On each level you will get up to ten questions with or without images, videos and audio files. You must type the correct answer by yourself. If you make a mistake, you get to try again until you find the searched word or phrase. Once you figure out the correct answer, you will get knowledge points. If you're having trouble figuring out the correct answer, you can click on the button labelled 'Give Up'. It will reveal the correct answer, but you will not get any knowledge points for that round.

The game creator may have allowed you to get feedback on your typing. If so, the textbox, where you type your answer, will turn red or green as you type. The game creator has also decided if the answer is case sensitive, ie if it is important that you type in correct case. Both of these settings may vary between the levels, which you'll be noticed of when you play a level. You may misspell a maximum of three times per question. On your fourth misspelling, the question will be classified as incorrectly answered.

Level 6

Cloze test - In the game you will see a text in which certain words or numbers have been removed. These have been replaced with blanks in which you either must fill in the correct word, or select the correct word from a list. Sometimes, there's a question mark after the blank - if you click on the question mark you will be displayed a hint. A cloze test usually requires that you understand the context of the text in order to fill in the correct word. It may therefore be necessary to read the text several times. Sometimes you may misspell a maximum of three times per question. On your fourth misspelling, the question will be classified as incorrectly answered.

Calculation of knowledge points

Each completed game level gives 1 knowledge point in Prepositions of time. The maximum number of points (6 knowledge points) is achieved when you pass all 6 levels. You'll get a bronze medal when you complete a level 2 times and a silver medal after 5 completed rounds. A gold medal will be received after 10 completed rounds. In Prepositions of time, the maximum number of collectable gold medals is 6. You only earn knowledge points for levels that has not been cleared before. A cleared level has a green background above. Even when you have completed a level, you can continue practicing at that level, but it gives you no more knowledge points.
