Something is on a day or date (on Tuesday, on the 5th, on July 12) but in a month if no date is given (in July, in January).

In is most general. In is more specific, “4th of July” or “4th in July.” You didn’t ask but you can use at if you’re being even more specific, “At 3:45, on the 4th, in July. (In can swap with of for a more native feel)

In

Yes, on is precise, in includes the entire month.

In because it's within the month. On required a specific date like "July 3rd" or "Monday".

Its IN July, but its ON, July 3rd

My birthday is in July. My birthday is on July 17th. (Although "on" isn't really necessary in this sentence.)

In very simple terms : (excluding set phrases and exceptions) In + Decade, year, month. (In July) On + day (On July 5) At + specific time Google in/on/at pyramid - puts it all in a nice diagram.

It’s in

'At' a time of day, 'On' a day, 'in' anything bigger than that usually Exceptions exist, though. Most of the below is "know how to understand, but dont use until it's natural": * just "next/last" week/month/year/etc * you *can* use "on" for larger time periods than a day, but it implies "on the start of June/2026/the decade/etc". This phrasing is uncommon and a little awkward, though * you can use "on" for smaller time periods than a day, but it still implies "at the start of" and is usually a described time. Also uncommon. Think like "on the top of the hour" * "During" can be used for things that happen across a large portion of a larger time period (week or larger), or when describing instead of naming a time period (e.g. "during the last hour they're open" or "during the second month") and it isn't at the exact start of that time period

"In" july, because the actual day of your birth is within the month. But your birthday would be "on" a specified day like July 6th or 19th or whatever because the day itself is the birthday.

**In** for just the month, as it’s written here: **in** July. Same for a year: **in**2015. On for a specific date: **On** July 2. On for a day of the week: **On** Friday.

Correct. "In" a month or year. ("July", "2014") "On" a day. ("April 15th", "Monday") "At" a time. ("Noon", "2:30")
MagicalZhadum
No.. It's in March! 😝

"in" is correct. On is only if you're saying the date ie my birthday is ON july 1st.
Infinite_Current6971
Yes, you are correct.
Shinyhero30
“In” if it’s the month alone “on” if it’s a specific day. “On July 20th” vs “in July”
Darkdog1994
In is correct if it's just July. If you were to say the exact date you'd say my Birthday is on July 4th (or the 4th of July), never in July 4th.
