Talk about when events happen, from a month to a particular day.
The idea
The months are January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December. Use in with a month and on with a date. Say the fifth of May or May fifth.
Examples
- My birthday is in January.
- Our class starts in March.
- The picnic is on the fifth of May.
- Her appointment is on June tenth.
- We travel in September.
- The shop opens on the first of December.
