Using the prepositions for times -
Use in for parts of the day (the morning, the evening), seasons, months, years, long periods of time (the fifteenth century)
Use at for points on the clock (three o'clock, noon), points in the day (lunch, midday, sunrise)
Use on for singular or plural day of the week (Friday, Wednesdays), dates (December 25, 2000), special dates (my birthday, your anniversary)
