Default Re: "at"

We could do with some more examples, Rogerio.

In the meantime here's an illustration to show how difficult prepositions can be in English:

I put the kettle on (the stove) at 1 o'clock (the time of day) in the afternoon (part of the day)

But you would say: The train arrived at night, on time

and yet: The train arrived in the middle of the night, in time for me to have a coffee on the platform before boarding.

Let's have your own examples.
