Hello Hamoody,

Welcome to the forum. I think people were a little bit daunted by the number of questions here, you might get more response if you ask everything separately.

let's start with days, months and year. on a day (on Wednesday) but in a month or year (in September, in 1987).

i am on my way to come to you  ? is it right. correct

or i am in my way.? incorrect

please, if u can tell me some differences between at.and on?

thank you so much

Prepositions are one of the hardest parts of learning English. They are not always very logical. Sometimes it's just a case of learning which is correct in each context. If you use the search facility in this forum you can find lots of help and advice and previous questions on prepostitions. 

by the way, i have small question about clean and wash

do they have the same meaning. can i say  i wash my dishes

or i am cleaning my dishes?  We usually say wash dishes in British English but it doesn't really make much difference.

how about body? wash your body, or clean ur body?  normally wash your body.

..  before i finish. really smaaaal point

how about wipe and swap?  I think you must have a mistake here as there words are not even slightly similar in meaning.

do they have the same meaning , too?

thank u very much

i really appreciate ur helps

First of all, if I make any mistakes, please correct me. OK.  Please have a look at everything in blue. My question is about the subject  (In view of the fact that you asked a number of questions, it would have been better to say "One of my questions ...") at:  a specific time (at 8:30, at noon) on: a specific day or date (on Tuesday, on June 11th) in: a month, year, season (in June, in 2001, in winter) When should I use those , for example?  For more detailed information, please use the search function on this site and/or post a new, more specific question. Let's start with days, months and year. Second, sometimes we use at with school  but ohertime we use in ,,{{ really confusion)) "He is at school." --> This basically tells you where he is (location). "He is in school." -->  This is more the idea that he attends school. What is the correct sentence: I am on my way to come to you  ? Is it right? No, try this:  "I'm on my way to your house." or "I am in my way."? The word 'in' is wrong.  "I am on my way" means that I am on my way to a place that has been mentioned in the broader context. please, if u can Could you please tell me some differences between at.and on? There are many differences.  Please post specific and separate questions. Thank you so much By the way, I have a small question about clean and wash. Do they have the same meaning? Can I say  "I wash my dishes." Yes, this means you wash your dishes regularly. Or "I am cleaning my dishes"? Yes, this means you are cleaning/washing your dishes now. How about 'body'? wash your body, or clean your body? It would be more typical to use 'myself' or to word it completely differently:  "I washed myself." or "I took a shower/bath." ..  Before I finish. really small point How about wipe and swap?  I assume you must mean 'swab'. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=swab&r=66 Do they have the same meaning , too? No: swap Thank you very much. I really appreciate your help.
