介词用法简介Saying when things happened
    在表示时间时，我们有三个介词可以选择：in，at和on。
介词in的用法：
介词in 用在年、月份、季节、一天中某个部分以及年代的前面。比如，
in 1999       在1999年
in August     在八月份
in winter      在冬季
in the afternoon, in the evening, in the morning 在下午/在晚上/在早上
in the 1950s   在50年代
in the 21st century 在21世纪
介词on的用法：
介词on用在星期几、几号等具体的日期前。比如：
on Thursday  在星期四
on 19 January  在1月19日
on Monday morning (请比较：in the morning)
on a cold night (请比较：at night)
但是当星期几的前面有指示性的词比如：this，next和last来修饰时，就不用介词on。
介词at的用法：
介词at 用在点钟、宗教节日和一些固定的词组中。比如：
at 5.30 p.m.  在下午5.30分
at Easter     在复活节
at the end of the war 在战争的末期
at the beginning of the term  在这学期开始
但是当宗教节日中带有day这个词时，前面的介词用on 。
at Christmas     on Christmas Day
at/on the weekend 在周末
