| 19.2.1 Expressions of date with prepositions |
The dates with preposition do not differ too much from the English system:
| Examples with el |
 |
Tengo
cumpleaños el 21 de julio. = My birthday is the 21st
of July. (I have my birthday July the 21st) |
|
El primero de mayo es un día de fiesta.= The first of May is a public holiday. |
|
Tienes que reservar el 18 de octubre para mí. = You have to make my reservation on the 18th of October. |
Is the date used in connection with a preposition, the
basic form is used (with the article el, which refers
to the months [= masculine]). If the preposition is
de or a
then they are merged to del
and al.
| Example with el and del |
|
A
partir del quince de agosto estaré de vacaciones. = From the 15th of August, I will be on vacation. |
|
Hasta el veintiuno de julio todo tiene que estar terminado. = Until the 21st of July, everything has to be finished. |
|
Desde el doce de julio hasta el treinta de agosto no
estoy en la oficina. = From the twelfth of July until the 30th of August, I am not in the office. |
|
Después del veintidós de mayo no haré nada. = After the 22nd of May, I will not do anything. |
|
