Expression: From Monday onwards...

[Tom]

Hi

Could you please tell me if the following expressions are correct?

1- From Monday onwards, I won't see her anymore.
2- From now onwards, I do not intend to read such stuff.
3- I will take care of the office form now on.

From now on. Otherwise, OK.

Doesn't 'from Monday onwards' sound a bit odd? Why not simply 'from Monday' or 'as from Monday'?

I think "from Monday onwards" sounds very formal.

Saying "from now onwards" sounds odd (although I agree with MM that it's not incorrect).

Saying "As of Monday" is also very typical.

Hi

A huge thank you to MM, Conchita and Amy for such sincere help! I am simply grateful.

So the conclusion is:

1- As of Monday, I won't see her anymore. (OK)
2- As from Monday, I won't see her anymore. (OK)
3- From Monday, I won't see her anymore. (OK)
4- From Monday onwards, ...(OK, but extremely formal)
5- From now onwards,...(Odd)
6- From now on,...(OK)
7- As of now, I won't see her anymore. (OK)
8- As from now, I won't see her anymore. (OK)

Do we agree finally?

Hi Tom

The "as from" constructions sound odd to me, but it may be one of those BE/AmE things again.
