"I was sleeping from 9" vs "I was slept at 9 o'clock"

Both phrases are incorrect. The correct way to express this idea is "I was sleeping at 9."

Last Updated: March 24, 2024

I was sleeping from 9

This phrase is not correct. The preposition 'from' is not suitable in this context.

The correct preposition to use when indicating the time at which you were sleeping is 'at.'

Alternatives:

  • I was sleeping at 9.

I was slept at 9 o'clock

This phrase is not correct. 'Slept' is the past tense of 'sleep,' but in this context, 'sleeping' is the correct form.

The correct way to express this idea is 'I was sleeping at 9.'

Alternatives:

  • I was sleeping at 9.
