Hello, Sofia! Here's how to decide between "in" and "on":

  1. Use "in" with months because it refers to a general time frame:
    • We’re planning a trip in July.
  2. Use "on" for specific days or parts of the week because it refers to a specific point in time:
    • His birthday party is on the first weekend of June.

Explanation:

  • "In" is used for larger periods (months, years, decades).
  • "On" is used for specific days (or phrases that act like specific days, such as "the first weekend").

I hope this helps!
