Page summary:
To describe the times of the day, German uses four prepositions: 'um' and 'gegen' for specific times. 'um' is used when an event happens at a particular time, 'gegen' is used to refer to events that happen about a certain time (e.g., noonish). 'Am' is used to describe larger time periods, such as the morning, the afternoon or in the evening. 'In' is used exclusively with Nacht: in der Nacht = at night.
