  1. Hola Isa, me gusta mucho tu blog, y tu imagen la utilice para una clase. Pero pienso que hay que modificar dos casos. El primero es Christmas. Christmas es un dia y por ser dia especial tambien toma la preposicion "on". Easter es un tiempo de una semana. Aunque tengo duda en la ultima, pienso que por ser un tiempo de considerable duracion toma la preposicion "in". Ya si es un día, tomaría la preposicion "on" e.g. -In easter- On easter day. *At: Se utiliza para tiempos especificos; es decir, horas, momentos que no duran. Como un atardecer:
    -At Sunset, at noon, at down.
    y con horas:
    -At seven o' clock, at ten thirty, etc.
    Todo este en cuanto a tiempo
