Usage of on

Question

How do i use "on" for certain situation like for example - "i had a good time on our photoshoot"-"i got it right on my first try"

Englishmaven · Accepted Answer

Those are idiomatic uses of prepositions, which can be tricky. I recommend you search "prepositions after adjectives" and "prepositions after verbs" to improve your fluency with prepositions, though these two topics don't address your question. It is quite a job to get a good grip on preposition usage.

You have used the correct preposition in both sentences.

Both sentences need to begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop. The pronoun I is always written with a capital letter,

It may be argued that those are two different situations. This one is more or less unique (as many cases are):

I got it right on my [first / second / ... / last] try.

The other one falls into a larger category: on (the occasion of) {an outing, i.e., an activity typically involving travel to another place}

to have a [good / terrible] time
[on our photo shoot / on their vacation / on his tour of China / on your trip]

Can i say "during" photo shoot instead of "on"?

and can i also say "i had a good time on our dinner"?or is it supposed to be "at" our dinner?

I had a good time at our dinner. The pronoun " i " is always a capital letter.
Putting it as the first word in a sentence makes it a double capital (very important)!

- i had a good time during our photo shoot.
