Are these expressions right or wrong?

Question

#1. I have an appointment for Tomorrow at 3
#2. I have an appointment on Tomorrow at 3
#3. I have an appointment on 3, this month.

I apparently think all sentences right. but Isn't there anyhing a little common or strange? Is it?

Hi

The word tomorrow does not have a capital. Apart from that #1 is good...

- I have an appointment for tomorrow at 3

The sentence can be understood, but a formal sentence would not just have '3'...

- I have an appointment for tomorrow at 3 o'clock
- I have an appointment for tomorrow at 3 pm

#2 is wrong, I'm afraid. You cannot have "on" with "tomorrow". However, you do use 'on' - and the capital - with a day of week...

- I have an appointment on Tuesday at 3 o'clock

#3 is also wrong. You cannot use "on" with the time here. The right word is "at"...

- I have an appointment at 3 pm, this month

There is an informal use of "on" which is only used occasionally...

- Here he comes now - exactly on 3 o'clock!

But apart from that, time is always used with "at"

Hope this helps

Dave

ljswaveanything ... strange?

Yes. Here's what you need:

I have an appointment at 3 o'clock tomorrow.

'at 3 this month' is not specific enough because you don't say which day of the month. However, you can say:

I have an appointment at 3 o'clock every day this month.
