I think we need to see what you are doing wrong. Please give us some sentences of your own using these.

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.
