We use at when referring to a specifc time. For example:
  • I met him at five o'clock.

Or:
  • I met him at five o'clock on a Monday.

(One down and sixteen to go. (Ron can't count.))

:wink:

It's a joke (and bad one). Tdol listed seven different prepositions, and I commented on one of them. (Actually, two.) That left six, but I said there were sixteen to go. Obviously, I can't count. :wink:

Say: What does this mean?

:)
