Frequently asked questions

When do I use in, on and at for time?

Use at for exact times (at 5 o’clock), on for days and dates (on Monday, on 5 May), and in for months, years and longer periods (in July, in 2015).

Can I print it in black and white?

Yes. The worksheet uses light tints that print clearly in grey, or pick the grey colour theme.

What age is this worksheet for?

Grades 1–5 (ages 6–11). The questions use plain language and avoid trick wording.

Can I choose the kinds of questions?

Yes. Switch each section on or off (matching, fill in the blanks, true or false, multiple choice and more) and choose how many questions go in each.

Will every worksheet be the same?

No. Each tap of “New worksheet” picks a different mix of questions from the topic’s question bank, so you can give different versions to different students.
