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".
