This article is devoted to the problem of using Russian time-prepositions byforeigners, especially by the Chinese.An analysis of modern literature allows the author to identify the main areas of the work aimed at foreign students’ development of the skills and abilitiesto correctly build the prepositional combinations and continuously improve thecommunication skills by means of the Russian language.In this paper, the time-prepositions in the Russian language have been analyzed in detail; some examples of polysemantic use of prepositions, their semanticand stylistic shades alongside with possible errors made by foreign students arepresented. The results of the study are to help in developing a system of teachingRussian time-prepositions to a foreign language audience, taking into accounttheir native language, on the basis of the systemic and functional, communicativeand activity-centred basis.The role of Russian time-prepositions in constructing word combinations hasbeen identified; the need for foreign students’ close attention to this secondarypart of speech has been specified. It has been stated that prepositions are the mostdynamic and open type of secondary language units within the quantitative andqualitative composition of which regular changes take place.The research substantiates the need that students should be aware of thefunction of time-preposition in speech; they are to get acquainted with the maintime-prepositions and their meanings, to distinguish prepositions and other homonymous parts of speech as well as to learn stylistic shades of time-prepositions.Some recommendations related to the means of mastering time-prepositionshave been given: to target speakers to assimilate modern literary norms and,therefore, to teach them how to choose and use them correctly by means of linguistic keys that are intended to fill the word with true meaning, to give it anorganic structure, an inherent form and an easy combinability in the texts andoral speech.
