A point in time

に can be used to indicate an absolute point in time. Such points include days of the week, months, years, calendar dates, and time of the clock.

  • 毎(まい)日(にち)八(はち)時(じ)半(はん)に起(お)きます。
  • Every day I wake up at 8:30.

An action toward a person

に can be used to indicate when an action is directed toward someone.

  • 私(わたし)は友(とも)達(だち)にペンをあげました。

Note that the verb for receiving (もらう) may seem reversed, but the logic is sound. See the note on giving and receiving for more.
