We use ON' only for complete sentences. Example:
- Julia born on October 23rd 1993.
'IN' is used for the incomplete ones. Examples:
- Julia born in October 1993.
- Julia born in October.
- Julia born in 1993.
Am I right?
- Julia born on October 23rd 1993.
'IN' is used for the incomplete ones. Examples:
- Julia born in October 1993.
- Julia born in October.
- Julia born in 1993.
Am I right?
Yes, I guess you dit it right. Thank you for going to the trouble of explaining the complete versus incomplete date bit to me.
Marcio, that's almost certainly not the correct explanation. My perception of it is that we end up using "on" for a very specific date ("he was born on the 3rd of June, 1955") and "in" for a general range of time ("he was born in June 1955"). You're always born, dead, missing, lost, found ON a specific date -- and ON can also be omitted in specific cases:
He was born / killed / hung / etc. / June 3, 1955.
If you don't know the day, you have to say that these things happed IN June 1955.
There may be more to this than I can think of at the moment...
All the best
