"Ich trinke Kaffee am Morgen."

Translation: I drink coffee in the morning.

[Klilsh]

When something happens in a month it's "im", but for a time of the day it's "am". Is there a rule or do we just need to remmember the preposition for each type of time?

[AtalinaDove]

You just need to remember the prepositions used. Prepositions often don't translate exactly between languages, so memorization is best in general, too.

[Matthew575254]

If time comes first in the sentence, why isn't it "Ich trinke am Morgen Kaffee."? Does time expressed in a prepositional phrase have a special rule?

[Wanhm]

I want to know the reason too.

[ShamimOvGU]

As far i know before time the article is 'um' and before day it is 'am' but it has translated as 'in the morning' for ''am morgen''
Please help

Am is an+dem. You'll also run into im, ins, vom, and ums.

why not I drink coffee of a morning? seems to imply the same thing, marked wrong?
