¿Por qué son importantes las preposiciones para hablar del tiempo?

Hablar del tiempo en inglés puede parecer complicado, pero con el uso correcto de las preposiciones, podemos transmitir nuestras ideas de manera clara y precisa. Las preposiciones In, On y At son fundamentales para describir el tiempo, y entender cómo y cuándo usarlas es esencial para poder comunicarnos eficazmente.

¿Cuándo usamos la preposición In?

La preposición In se utiliza en varias situaciones específicas relacionadas con el tiempo. Aquí te mostramos cómo aplicarla:

Estaciones del año

Para referirse a las estaciones del año, como verano, otoño, invierno o primavera, siempre empleamos la preposición In. Por ejemplo:

  • Llevo una chaqueta pesada in winter porque hace mucho frío.
  • En in spring hace más calor.

Meses del año

Cuando hablamos de un mes en particular usamos In:

  • Mi cumpleaños es in June.
  • Las clases empiezan in January.

Años

También se aplicará In al referirse a años específicos:

  • Empecé a trabajar como profesor in 2014.
  • Fue in 2019.

Décadas y siglos

Para hablar de décadas y siglos, la preposición correcta es In:

  • In the 90s, estilos musicales como el hip-hop eran populares.
  • El transporte in the 19th century era muy diferente.

Partes del día

Al describir partes del día, recurrimos a In:

  • Trabajo mejor in the morning.
  • Prefiero descansar in the afternoon.

No obstante, hay una excepción para "la noche":

  • Debemos decir At night, en lugar de "In the night".

Duración del tiempo

Finalmente, usamos In para hablar de períodos de tiempo:

  • La película empieza in 10 minutes.
  • Regresaremos in two weeks.

¿Cómo puedes recordar estos usos?

La mejor manera de aprender y recordar los usos de In al hablar del tiempo es a través de la práctica constante y creación de ejemplos propios. Intenta responder a estas preguntas: ¿Qué sueles hacer por las mañanas? ¿A qué hora almuerzas por la tarde? No dudes en plasmar tus experiencias cotidianas en inglés, lo cual te ayudará a fijar estos conceptos más claramente.

No te preocupes si no te acuerdas de todo, ¡la práctica y la repetición son claves! Una vez que domines In, estarás preparado para abordar el uso de On, ¡así que sigue adelante!
