I. Using prepositional phrases of time: ‘between … and …’ and ‘from … to …’
1. Presentation:
T: I like watching TV. There is a special programme called ‘Nanjing Zero Distance’. I watch it every day if I have time. I also like watching movies. Here is a time table. Please read it and answer my questions:
When is NJ Zero Distance on every day?
How long can we watch movies every night?
2. Work out the rule:
T: So NJ Zero Distance is on TV from 18.50 to 19.50. And we can watch movies for nearly one and a half hours from 10.05 to 11.30. Now tell me how to use ‘from…to…’.
Rule: The action lasts for a period of time. There is no pause or interruption.
T: Look at another two sentences.
‘I will be at school this afternoon. You can come to see me between 13.00 and 14.00.
Dong Sheng’s talking programme on the radio is from 8.30 to 9.30. You can call him between 8.30 and 9.30.’
How can we use ‘between … and …’?
Rule: The action happens at a dot of time during the period.
3. Practice:
1) Please look at the time table and complete some sentences.
2) Millie likes watching Golden TV. It is her favourite TV channel. Help her plan what to watch this Saturday night. Please finish her sentences on P69.

2. Work out the rule:
T: From these sentences, we can find out how to use ‘before’, ‘after’ and ‘until’.
Rule: ＊‘Before’ means ‘at an earlier time than’;
＊‘After’ means ‘at a later time than’;
＊‘Until’ means ‘up to the time that’.
