Understanding Македонски Prepositions of Time
Prepositions of time in Macedonian help us talk about when something happens. They are like little words that tell us about time, such as 'in', 'on', and 'at' in English.
Let's explore some of these prepositions and see how they are used.
Using 'на' for Days and Dates
In Macedonian, we use 'на' when we talk about specific days or dates. It's like saying 'on' in English.
Examples
- Јас ќе одам на училиште на понеделник.
- Тој ќе дојде на 5-ти јуни.
Using 'во' for Months and Years
When talking about months or years, we use 'во', similar to 'in' in English.
Examples
- Ние ќе патуваме во јули.
- Таа се роди во 2008 година.
Using 'пред' and 'по' for Before and After
'Пред' means 'before' and 'по' means 'after'. We use these to talk about what happens before or after a certain time.
Examples
- Јас завршив со задачите пред вечера.
- Тие ќе си одат по забавата.
Using 'од' and 'до' for From and To
'Од' means 'from' and 'до' means 'to'. These words help us talk about the start and end of a time period.
Examples
