de la mañana, en la mañana or por la mañana.

Is it de la mañana, en la mañana or por la mañana? Are they interchangeable? It's always a guess for me.

This question relates to:Spanish writing exercise "My daily routine"

Hola Peter

The sentence from the writing exercise is:

Me despierto a las siete de la mañana.

I wake up at seven in the morning.

In this case it's always "de la mañana", at least in European Spanish. So, this is when you are specifying whether it is AM or PM. It could be "las siete de la mañana" or "las siete de la tarde".

I hope this clarified it.
