Time Trackers: Prepositions of Time for Class 4 

This worksheet introduces Class 4 students to essential time-related prepositions like *at*, *on*, *in*, *since*, and *for*. Through five practice-rich activities — including picture clues, sentence corrections, and a story-based task — learners develop clarity in using time expressions accurately in writing and speech. 

Why Prepositions of Time Matter in Grammar? 

Learning time prepositions equips students to: 
1. Express events and actions in relation to specific times and durations. 
2. Improve accuracy in daily writing and speaking. 
3. Develop a better understanding of grammar, context, and chronology. 
4. Avoid common errors with confusing prepositions like *for* vs *since*. 

What’s Inside This Worksheet? 

This worksheet offers five structured exercises: 

🕒 Exercise 1 – Fill in the Blanks with Time Prepositions 
Students complete 8 sentences using picture clues and choose the correct preposition among *at*, *in*, *on*, *since*, and *for* (e.g., “Dad arrives ___ 5 o’clock.”) 

🔗 Exercise 2 – Match Column A to Column B 
Learners match prepositions to time phrases (e.g., *at* → 7 a.m., *since* → 2022) to internalize correct pairings. 

✅ Exercise 3 – Choose the Correct Preposition 
Students underline the right preposition in brackets for 8 sentences using multiple-choice format (e.g., “She travels (at/in/on) August.”). 

📖 Exercise 4 – Story-Based Gap Fill 
Using a short story about Maya and a missing hat, students fill in 8 blanks using correct time prepositions in narrative context (e.g., “It was ___ Sunday.”) 

📝 Exercise 5 – Error Correction 
Each of the 6 sentences contains one incorrect time preposition. Students must rewrite the sentence using the correct one (e.g., “I have lived here at five years.” → “I have lived here for five years.”)
