I arrived _________________________ Istanbul _________________________ a sunny Tuesday. Later, I rode _________________________ a crowded ferry and watched _________________________ captain steer the ship while eating my intergalactic snacks.
The correct answers are in, on, on, and the.
in Istanbul: We use "in" for cities and countries. (Be careful not to say "arrived to"!)
on a sunny Tuesday: We always use "on" for days of the week, even if there is an adjective like sunny in front of it.
on a ferry: For large public transport where you can walk around (like a bus, train, or ferry), we use "on".
the captain: We use "the" because there is only one specific captain of that ferry. (Turkish does not have a direct equivalent for "the", so remember to include it when talking about specific nouns!)
