📅 Talking about Dates & Time

In the text, we see how to say when things happen. This is very important for A2 level.

1. Specific Dates We use "on" for a day and month:

  • on July 29 \rightarrow on [Month] [Number]
  • on October 7 \rightarrow on [Month] [Number]

2. Now vs. Later Look at these two opposites from the story:

  • Is happening now (Action in progress)
  • Comes out on... (Action in the future)

3. Number Words Instead of just saying 'many', we use specific numbers to be clear:

  • 13,000 officers
  • 14.5 million voters

Quick Tip: When you see a date, always use ON. Wrong: In October 7. \rightarrow Right: On October 7.
