Time Preposition (ON or IN)
 
 
 
  Hello My Dear friends,
 
  We use � �on � � for days and dates.   � �in � � for months and years
  e.g : on Saturday - on 21st March, 2008
           in December - in 2009
 
  What about a month and a year together?
 
  ___ March 2008??
 
  � �on � � or � �in � � and why??   
 
 Thanks in advance
