In Hindi
छोटे से बड़े की ओर — समय पर "at", दिन पर "on", महीने या साल में "in"।
CoCap explains every structure in both languages, because a rule you understand in Hindi is a rule you can use in English.
The sentence Indian-English speakers actually produce, and the reason it is wrong.
| Commonly said | Correct English |
|---|---|
I will come in Monday. | I will come on Monday. Days always take "on" — on Monday, on Friday, on my birthday. |
Easiest first. Every sentence is authored, with the Hindi it comes from.

Where this structure sits in the ladder, and what surrounds it.
Time: in / on / at is a CEFR A1 structure — the starting band — and it belongs to prepositions. CoCap’s syllabus files every structure this way so you can learn in order instead of jumping between whatever a search happened to return.
