My aunt has invited me to her place _____ three o'clock this afternoon _____ tea.
Correct answer: A. at; for
- A. at; for
- B. on; to
- C. during; so that
- D. from; for
Explanation
“At three o’clock” gives a precise time, and “for tea” gives the purpose or occasion of the invitation. The other combinations do not express this time and purpose correctly.

About Prepositions
Prepositions link a noun or pronoun to the rest of the sentence, showing place, time, direction or relation. The difficulty is idiomatic rather than logical: English fixes particular prepositions to particular verbs and adjectives, so “good at,” “married to” and “differ from” have to be learned as units rather than reasoned out.
