Prepositions of Time: English vs. Russian
- On: Used for specific days, dates, and holidays. Corresponds to the preposition 'в' or 'на' in Russian, often implying a specific day or date.
- In: Used for longer periods like months, seasons, years, and parts of the day. Corresponds to 'в' in Russian.
- At: Used for specific times, mealtimes, and festivals. Corresponds to 'в' or 'около' in Russian, usually for precise times or events.
Key Difference: While English uses 'on' for days and 'in' for months/years, Russian often uses 'в' for both (e.g., 'в понедельник' - on Monday, 'в январе' - in January).
