Common Grammar Mistakes

Grammar mistakes can easily slip into our writing, making our sentences sound awkward or confusing. It's important to be aware of these common mistakes and know how to correct them. In this article, we will discuss one such mistake related to prepositions.

Using "in" instead of "on" for specific days of the week

One common mistake many people make is using the preposition "in" instead of "on" when referring to specific days of the week. The correct preposition to use in this context is "on". Let's take a look at some examples:

• Incorrect: I have a meeting in Monday.
• Correct: I have a meeting on Monday.

• Incorrect: We always go grocery shopping in Saturdays.
• Correct: We always go grocery shopping on Saturdays.

As you can see, using "on" instead of "in" when referring to specific days of the week is the correct usage. This applies to all the days of the week including Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Remember to use the correct preposition "on" when talking about a specific day of the week. This small but significant grammar rule can make a big difference in the clarity and correctness of your writing.
