any one year - WordReference Forums
New Member. Montevideo, Uruguay. Spanish. Oct 25, 2013. #1. I took this sentence from a reading activity and I don´t relly understand the meaning of any one year. The text is about Nothern lights. `Although the displays occur all year round, the number varies in any one year, depending on the sunspot cycle.´. Does it mean every year?

In the Year of 2022 or In 2022 - WordReference Forums
British English. Aug 20, 2022. #4. It is unusual in English to name the category to which a thing belongs when it is obvious. We say"in 1991", not"in the year 1991". We say"the car is red" not"the car is red in colour". We say"It is hot" not"the temperature is hot". We are far more likely to use things like"in the year" where the number ...

all year long vs. all year round | WordReference Forums
Banned. South of France. UK English. Sep 17, 2010. #5. I also agree with JamesM. The expression"year round" conjures up the image of a circle, or cycle, of months and seasons, implying the repetition."Year long" conjures up a straight line from one end to the other. Year long is two words.

early/middle/late+month - WordReference Forums
But just to get the ball rolling, here's a possible theory, given a 30 day month. Early = 1st to 10th. Mid = 11th to 20th. Late = 21st to 30th. Beginning of (included in early) = First 5 days = 1st to 5th. End of (included in late) = Last 5 days = 26th to 30th.

'on/ in' date [month day year] - WordReference Forums
Hello, I am a little bit confused about an english grammatical rule and the way of writting down a date. I would like to know if we say"in March 2009" or"on March 2009" and if we say"on June the 30th" or"in June the 30th". Thanks in advance for your answers

year 2100 - WordReference Forums
Feb 20, 2021. #9. I think ScottMiami's advice is a bit misleading. While it is true that the year is written out in some formal legal documents, non-lawyers would rarely if ever have occasion to do so. And 1900 is read"nineteen hundred" and"2100" will be read"twenty-one hundred" across the English-speaking world, if I'm not mistaken.

early this year vs. early in the year | WordReference Forums
Senior Member. a. The tree came into flower in the early part of this year. a. The tree came into flower earlier than usual this year. You need to use a sentence that clearly conveys your meaning. That's your responsibility. The b sentence is a reference to a year previously mentioned.

at new year / on new year's eve | WordReference Forums
In fact"at New Year" is definitely wrong, because,unlike Christmas, we always say"THE New Year", (except when there's an adjective in front -"Happy New Year") And"on New Year's Eve" because it's one day. Michael Swan, 'Practical English Usage', numeral 82 number 4 states that we use 'at' to talk about the whole of the holidays at Christmas ...
