Hi Christina’s son,
I agree with Pamela that words such as “next, this or last” - when used with “time” - indicate that no preposition is necessary.
So, when you see something like “this month, last year, next week,” you don’t need a preposition before it.
However, Pamela, I don’t think that words such as ‘this, last and next’ are adverbs of time but rather adjectives because "year’ is a noun and not a verb.
I hope that helps.

Linda,when analyising a sentence according to the parts of sentence “last month”, “last year” (etc.)stand for adverbial modifiers of time and according to parts of speech,they’re adverbs.These adverbs are considered as a single idea while analysing.
Anyway I’d like to know Amy’s opinion!
