At the morning / in the morning

Post by Awence »

Please clarify the use of at and in with morning, afternoon, evening and night.


1. i will come in in the morning.
2. She is going to visit me in the afternoon.
3. i 'm normally here at night.

Please point out the mistakes cos i feel something is not right here

'I will come in in the morning' is technically correct. With only one 'in', the sentence has a different meaning. To make it sound better, you could say "I will come in tomorrow morning' but the 'in' after 'come' has to stay.

Both 2 and 3 are correct apart from the lower-case 'i' starting 3 (and 1).

To my opinion, we can use "at" when you think about specific events and "in' when you think about unspecific events
