English Grammar - Preposition
Fill in the blanks with the correct prepositions : The boy fell ……… the well ……… 10 O'clock.
Options:
- in, on
- into, at
- into, on
- in, at
Right Answer: into, at
The correct answer is 'into, at'. The preposition 'into' shows movement from outside to inside, so a boy who falls from the edge of a well falls 'into' it; 'in' would only show a static position already inside. For clock time, English uses the preposition 'at' — at 10 o'clock, at noon, at midnight. 'On' is used with days and dates such as on Monday or on 5 June, while 'in' is used with months, years and longer periods such as in May or in 2022. Hence option (2) is correct.
