关于August的意思和用法的提问

A: Thanks 💖

A:
A family is talking in the garden on the last day of their summer holidays and someone says "There goes August."

A: I am guessing the person is referring to moving houses on those dates? They are saying that they will move to a different house on the first and second of August. (1/8-2/8)

A: Since means for the past 34 years. Since then.

A: "For August 1" means that the purpose of something has something to do with August 1.

"On August 1" means that something is happening on August 1.

- Classes will resume on August 1.
- I'm getting ready for August 1, which is when classes will resume. (The act of getting ready is because of something happening on August 1).

A: They mean the same thing.
Normally, the more natural way of saying this would be: “Today is the first day of August”.

A: (Something happens) ON Aug 18th. (Today) IS Aug 18th. E.g. “my dental appointment is on Aug 18th.” “What’s today’s date? It’s Aug 18th.”

A: actually, both sentences are wrong. it should be she was born on 14 August

A: The first one implies it's continuous, and unceasing between those dates. The second one implies that it happens between the two dates, but not necessarily continuously.

A: Oh, interesting!

"I had never done skin scuba, so a professional suba instructor behind me guided me through the incredible underwater scenery."

"I've never do" ❌(is not grammatical)
"I never do.." ⭕
"I've never done.." ⭕

Since you are describing the past, and also you are describing something even further in the past, you should say, "I had never done skin scuba." ⭕

If you say "I have never done skin scuba", then that's actually a lie! Because you are telling the story about it now! And you want to tell a story about the first time you did something.

"Last year I played futsal with my friends. I had never played futsal before! Now it is my favorite sport."

A: Yes it would include August, such as 8月から

though in English we wouldn't really say from August, we'd say starting in August or beginning in August

A: Do you mean how do you use it in a sentence?

August comes after July, but before September.

Today is the 11th of August.

August is the eighth month of the year.

A: No. You can say "August second" or "August the second" and both will be understood just fine. You can also say "the second of August". Maybe just "August second" is less grammatically correct, but people still use it all the time.

A: You should put commas after the months, but otherwise it is correct. "From 22 August, 2016 to 02 September, 2016".
Also, in the US, we put the day after the month, but this is still correct.

A: "It's August 17th"

It's May 1st (first)

It's April 2nd (second)

It's July 3rd (third)

etc.

A: "Every August 15th, since childhood, my husband celebrated festively in India while I celebrated quietly in Japan."

A: Your writing is very good. There are just a few corrections to make. I put them in parentheses like this-(example). If you needed to add something I put it in these brackets {example}. I put an -(X) if you should remove that word completely. I hope you understand!
