Prepositions can show time in English. They tell us when things happen. This lesson shows you the most important prepositions of time.
The two most important are before and after.
Before is first and After is second. Here are some examples:
7 pm: Baseball Game
8pm: Hockey Game
9 pm: Football Game

- The hockey game is after the baseball game.
- The football game is after the baseball and hockey game.
During is a preposition that means at the same time. Here are some examples:
