Hi, Torsten! Some days ago I wrote a resume and had a problem with abbreviated forms of month. I can't to write months names in very small cells where I need to place information about Full and Part time jobs. Now I feel myself like a professor! Because I know how to use shot forms of months! More over I know what to do at night Thu, Nov 13th 2008, in the morning tomorrow and at next weekend. Thanks a lot for your lesson 13 (magic wonderful number!). Svitlana. |

Hi Madiha,
First you need to start capitalizing the beginning of each sentence. Also, words such as 'please' and 'i' don't exist in English.
Your sentences should read I attended the ceremony on December 20. You will be there at 7 o'clock.
In addition, please read How can I improve my writing skills?
Please start developing basic language habits as soon as possible.
Many thanks, Torsten

Yes, the correct use is on September 29th or on the 29th of September. I was born in September. I was born on September 29th.
Please remember to capitalize the names of the months.
Best regards, Torsten
