On the morning of May 20th!
I would most greatful if someone could clarify why we say in reference to the past...
ON the morning OF May 20th, I went.....
(NB you can reverse the clauses and still have the same issue)
I went.... on the morning of May 20th
But when referring to a future event we change the prepositions
Will you meet me IN the morning ON MAy 20th?
Thanks very much
