On or In Month
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 on October 31st.
I met him on February 5th.
I was born on December.
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 in January.
The yearly company meeting is in February.
I have a job interview in March 15th.
When the specific date is specified, we cannot use "in".
