Grammar
Addition of "on" and "that" as in [on the day that I ...]
I have made up the examples below.
(1) On the day that I lost my watch, my uncle won the lottery.
(2) I lost my watch the day my uncle won the lottery.
My non-native English speaking friends think in (1) "on" is required and "that" is optional.
However, they think neither "on" nor "that" is needed in (2).
Do you agree with them? Please help me. Thank you very much.

Both 'on' and 'that' are optional in both sentences. Omitting both creates a very natural sounding sentence. CJ
