On or In Month
Do you want to refer to a specific date? Is it 'in month' or 'on month'? In this lesson, we will learn which is correct.
Which One Should Be Used?
On + Month
When referring to an action or event that occurred on a specific day or date of the month, we typically use 'on + month' followed by the exact date. For example:
Halloween is
I met him
I was born .
When the specific date is not specified and only the month is mentioned, we cannot use 'on'.
In + Month
The preposition 'in' is used to refer to longer periods of time, such as years, centuries, and months. When referring to a month, 'in + month' is a more common phrase than 'on + month' which is typically used to refer to a specific day within the month.
The documents were collected
The yearly company meeting is
I have a job interview in March 15th.
When the specific date is specified, we cannot use 'in'.
