In, on, at...
On January 22 we talked about prepositions. Here's a simple "rule of thumb" about the prepositions of time:
Reeta, who has a brain for mathematics, came up with these formulas:
in
m
on = d
(m = month, d = day)
Do these formulas help you remember the rules?

Lesson 22 January 2014
Happy New Year to everyone! This was our first lesson this year, so it took some time to talk about what we did during the Christmas holidays and how our studies are going.
All the groups had been working on their Google presentations, and they presented the drafts to the rest of the class. We heard presentations about English studies, hobbies, Finnish seasons and Finnish culture. All the presentations were really interesting, and it would be great if all participants could present something when we travel to Turkey in March.
We also devoted some time to language problems, especially the use of prepositions in English, which is one of the hardest things for a Finnish speaker to learn. I'll make a separate posting about the prepositions of time, which was one of the problems we discussed.
During the next period, the groups will continue to study English according to their plan and work on their presentations.
Remember to keep your blogs updated!
