Prepositions of Time

1. Disclaimers ESL Disclaimer This resource has been made for the purpose of teaching English language learners. We know that students can be learning English in many different places, in many different ways and at age, so we try to keep these resources as general as possible. There are many acronyms associated with English language teaching. These include (but are not limited to) ELT, TEFL, EFL, ELL, EAL and ESOL. While the term ESL may not fully represent the linguistic backgrounds of all students, it is the most widely recognised term for English language teaching globally. Therefore, we use the term ‘ESL’ in the names of our resources to make them easy to find but they are suitable for any student learning to speak English. Animations This resource has been designed with animations on each slide to make it as fun and engaging as possible. To view the content in the correct formatting, please view the slideshow in ‘ presentation mode ’. If you view the slides without selecting ‘presentation mode’, you may find that some of the text and images overlap each other or are difficult to read.
