Select the appropriate article/ preposition to complete the following sentences whenever necessary.
Luckily, I made it to the station ______ time to catch the last train.
Answer: A
The right word is in: 'I made it to the station in time to catch the last train.'
In time means early enough to do something, which is exactly the sense here: the speaker arrived early enough to catch the train. On time, by contrast, means punctually, at the scheduled moment.
'For time', 'at time' and 'to time' are not idiomatic in this sentence.
Compare: 'The train left on time' (exactly at 9:00) with 'We reached in time to catch it' (before it left).
