Jedna myšlenka na každé slovo: in je uvnitř nebo dlouhé období, on je plocha nebo den, at je bod — místo nebo přesný čas.

One idea per word: in is inside or a long period, on is a surface or a day, at is a point — a place or an exact time.

Většina chyb vzniká překladem. Česká předložka ti neřekne, kterou anglickou použít — řiď se tím, co za ní stojí.

Most mistakes come from translating. The Czech word won't tell you which English one to use — look at what follows it.

In, on, at — časté otázky

Jaký je rozdíl mezi in, on a at?

in = uvnitř něčeho nebo delší období (in Prague, in the car, in July, in 2019). on = plocha, dopravní prostředek, do kterého nastupuješ, den nebo datum (on the table, on the bus, on Monday, on 5 May). at = bod: místo, kam jdeš za nějakým účelem, nebo přesný čas (at school, at the station, at six o'clock).

Kdy se u času používá in, on a at?

Od velkého k malému: in pro roky, měsíce, roční období a části dne (in 2019, in May, in winter, in the morning), on pro dny a data (on Tuesday, on 14th February), at pro přesný čas (at half past seven) a k tomu at night a at the weekend.

Říká se in the bus, nebo on the bus?

On the bus. Do autobusu, vlaku, letadla, na loď a na kolo nastupuješ (get on), proto on. Jen auto a taxi jsou in (get in the car).

Proč se říká at night, ale in the morning?

Je to ustálená výjimka: in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, ale at night. Když je u části dne konkrétní den, je to on: on Friday morning.

At the weekend, nebo on the weekend?

Obojí je správně. At the weekend je britská angličtina, on the weekend americká. Na této stránce držíme britskou variantu, cvičení ale přijme obě.

At Christmas, nebo on Christmas?

At Christmas = o Vánocích, celé svátky. Jeden konkrétní den má on: on Christmas Eve, on Christmas Day, on New Year's Day. Stejně at Easter, ale on Easter Monday.

In school, nebo at school?

Když myslíš „ve škole“ jako místo, kde se učíš, je to at school (stejně at work, at home, at university). In znamená fyzicky uvnitř budovy: There's a café in the museum.

Kdy se před časem nedává žádná předložka?

Před this, next, last, every, tomorrow a yesterday: next Monday, last year, every day, this weekend, tomorrow morning. Chyba on next Monday je u Čechů častá.
