在英语中，介词（Preposition）是一类词类，在句子中用来表示名词、代词或其他句子成分与其他单词之间的关系。介词通常放在名词短语或代词前面，用来说明时间、地点、方向、方式、原因、目的等概念。
| 分类 | 常用介词 |
|---|---|
| 时间 | at（在）, in（在...之间）, on（在...上） |
| 地点 | in（在...里面）, on（在...上）, at（在...处）, by（靠近...旁）, to（到...） |
| 方向 | into（进入）, out of（出...）, through（穿过）, over（越过）, across（横穿） |
| 位置 | in（在...里面）, on（在...上）, at（在...处）, by（在...旁）, near（靠近...）, beside（在...旁）, under（在...下）, above（在...上方）, below（在...下方）, between（在...之间）, among（在...之中） |
| 原因 | because of（因为...）, due to（由于...）, for（因为/为了...） |
| 目的 | for（为了）, to（到...） |
| 方式 | with（用...）,without（没有...）, by（通过...方式） |
| 属于 | of（属于...） |
| 关于 | about（关于...） |
- 介词不能单独使用。
- 介词只能接：名词、代词、动名词(动词+ing)。
- 介词接词后变成了“介词短语”，形成了一个小的“介宾结构”。
介词总会出现在句子的前、后，补充说明一些时间、地点等，或者做为一个句子的定语。介词短语是一个句子非常强大的补充！

引导时间状语的介词 in/on/at/during/till 与 until
in + 时间
in + 表示时间长度的短语可以表示“在某段时间之内”，这时可以与现在时、过去时或将来时连用，一般与完成某动作有关；还可译为“…时间之后”，一般与将来时连用。根据时态判别 in 表示的含义。
| 表示一天中的某段时间 |
|
|---|---|
| 表示周、月份、年份 |
|
| 表示季节 |
|
| 表将来 (搭配表未来的语块) |
|
on + 时间
在书写日期时没有冠词，但在口语中则分别读为：on June the first；on the 23rd of March
| 表示星期几/日期 |
|
|---|---|
| 表示星期+日期 | on Monday, June 1st |
| 表示具体时间 |
|
at + 时间
| 表示确切的时间 |
|
|---|---|
| 表示用餐时间 |
|
| 表示其他时刻 |
|
during + 时间 （在…期间）
| during the holiday 强调假期的从头到尾 | in the holiday 强调这段时间其中某一点时间, 并不表示自始至终 |
|---|---|
| I was caught in an accident in the holiday. |
during 后必须跟一个名词，可以指整个一段时间，有时可以用 in 替代。
| from…till… 指一段明确的时间 | from…to…从…到… |
|---|---|
| The tourist season runs from June till October. | Everyday we have English class from 8:30 to 11:30 |
| until prep.&coin. 直到…时候 | |
| |
until 主句和从句两个都用一般过去时对(最习惯的一种用法), 主句和从句任何一个用过去完成是也。
What’s the time?/What time is it?
| 8:00 整点 | 8 o’clock |
| 8 点 8 分（<30） | 8 past 8 |
| 8 点 15 分 | 8 fifteen / fifteen past 8 / a quarter past 8 |
| 8 点 30 分 | 8 thirty / half past 8 |
| 8 点 38 分(>30) | 22 to 9 |
