The other primary use for prepositions, in addition to \u201cposition,\u201d is time. Prepositions show the relationship of one item to another as related to time\u2014after, before, during, etc. This is where our second Preposition-Check Sentence comes into play:<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Obviously, there are not fifty to seventy prepositions that fit neatly into this check sentence, simply because there are not fifty to seventy time prepositions like there are position prepositions. However, for those more challenging \u201ctime\u201d prepositions, this check sentence comes in handy. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cTest\u201d this \u201cPreposition-Check Sentence\u201d with the time prepositions (plus some others that fit just because they fit) given below. Some of them might be a stretch to fit in, but for the most part, I think you will find this helpful for the \u201cless than obvious\u201d prepositions.<\/span><\/div>\n
