The main purpose of this study was to contribute to a better understanding of the temporal preposition errors in order to have a positive impact on the teaching and learning process.

The population consisted of intermediate and advanced level students at International Islamic University, Islamabad. Out of these, fifteen students were chosen from each level. Here the frequency of errors of both the groups is 58.89 % and the most problematic temporal prepositions were since, ago, between, over and throughout.
