Synonyms of "Occasions" and their differences

in those occasions ve on those occasions arasındaki fark nedir?
A:
I would always say ON, I can't think of an example where IN sounds good.
Q:
on most occasions ve most of the time arasındaki fark nedir?
A:
The online Merriam-Webster dictionary classifies these as synonyms.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/most%20of%20the%20time
I believe the words "occasion" and "time" refers to the occurrences of some action or event. Using the example from Merriam-Webster, "Sometimes I go out for lunch, but most of the time I bring my own lunch to work", time refers to the instances in which the speaker "eats lunch".
I will add that "occasion" makes you think the the actions or events are rare. Also I believe you will hear people use "most of the time" in casual conversations more than you will "on most occasions".

Q:
It's hardly likely there will be many occasions when I see you. bu doğru görünüyor mu?
A:
I’d phrase it as: “It’s likely there won’t be many occasions when I’ll be able to see you.” or “It’s likely there won’t be many occasions when we’ll be able to meet.”
We probably wouldn’t use “hardly likely”, but if you would like to negate “likely”, you can change it to “unlikely”. Then the sentence would read: “It’s unlikely there will be many occasions when I’ll see you.” or “It’s unlikely there’ll be many chances to see you.”
“Occasions” is used, but “chances” is a lot more common.
If you’d like some more explanation then feel free to ask! (*'▽'*)
