中文里"在早上""在周一""在七点"都用一个"在",所以中国学生最容易混。记住这张颗粒度图:at 7:00(一个钟点)→ in the morning(一整个上午)→ on Monday(具体到某一天)。一旦具体到"某一天的上午",就升级用 on:on Monday morning。
为什么它是 KET 高频考点时间介词是 Unit 3 日常作息的另一半(另一半是频度副词)。Reading Part 5 完形填词、Listening 时间数字题、Writing 便条写时间、Speaking 说安排,四个部分全要用到 at/in/on。一个介词错,整句扣分。

今天/明天/昨天/今早/下周
这些词前零介词
钟点怎么读(听力 Part 1 必会)
钟点前永远用 at,但听力考的是你能不能把听到的读法对应成时间:
读法
对应时间
例句
seven o'clock
7:00
I get up at seven o'clock.
half past seven
7:30
School starts at half past eight.
a quarter past seven
7:15
The bus leaves at a quarter past eight.
a quarter to eight
7:45
We go home at a quarter to five.
seven twenty / seven forty-five
7:20 / 7:45
直白读法也正确
听力陷阱听到 past 是"过几分"(几点+),听到 to 是"差几分"(下一点-)。a quarter to eight = 差 15 分到 8 点 = 7:45,不是 8:15。草稿纸上先写 1–12,听到数字立刻圈出来。

傍晚
in the evening

深夜
at night

周一早上(特指)
on Monday morning
I have music on Monday morning.
三个必背细节
① 泛指用 in,特指某天用 on:in the morning(一般早上)≠ on Monday morning(周一那个早上)。
② at night 是雷打不动的固定短语:绝不能说 in the night(那是"夜里某次",KET 不考)。
③ tomorrow / today / yesterday 前面不加 on/in/at:See you tomorrow. 不是 on tomorrow。
⑤ 用法场景全解(配图记忆)

⑥ 中国学生 5 大高频错误诊断
错误 1:钟点用 on / in ✗ I get up on seven o'clock. → ✓ I get up at seven o'clock. 口诀:几点几分永远 at。
错误 2:在早上漏 the / 用错介词 ✗ in morning / on the morning → ✓ in the morning. 泛指"在早上"必须 in the morning,the 不能丢。
错误 3:周一早上还在用 in ✗ I have a piano lesson in Monday morning. → ✓ on Monday morning. 一旦出现星期几,不管早中晚都升级成 on。
错误 4:晚上乱写 in the night ✗ I read in the bed in the night. → ✓ I read in bed at night. "在晚上"固定说 at night;傍晚才是 in the evening。
错误 5:tomorrow / today 前加介词 ✗ See you on tomorrow. → ✓ See you tomorrow. today, tomorrow, yesterday, this morning, next week 前面零介词。

Reading Part 5 完形
短文 8 空,at/in/on 入空:"I get up ___ 7 o'clock."
看后面是钟点/时段/天
Listening Part 1
听时间选图:"The film starts at quarter to eight."
抓 at + 钟点数字
Writing Part 6 便条

用 at the weekend 开头答
阅读判断题
时间信息比对:on Monday vs on Tuesday
圈出星期词
真题风格演练(KET 出题方式)
真题风格 · Part 5完形填空:I usually get up (1) ___ seven o'clock, and I have lessons (2) ___ the morning. (3) ___ Mondays, I have a music lesson after school.
参考:On Saturday I get up at eight. In the morning I help my dad in the garden. At twelve we have lunch. In the afternoon I sometimes go to the park. I go to bed at ten.
⑪ 记忆口诀与 7 天复习计划
三句口诀
① 时间颗粒度:钟点用 at,长段用 in,具体到天就用 on。
② 特例要背死:at night 深夜,in the evening 傍晚,in the morning 泛指,on Monday morning 特指。
③ today / tomorrow / yesterday / this morning / next week,前面一律不加介词。
