In the evening or on the evening?
Hi
I normally say in the evening but I saw this sentence:
"on the evening of 27 August, I....."
Is this correct? would it be ok if I say "in" the evening of 27 August....?
Cheers !

On is correct, but it sounds more like a question a lawyer would ask a witness in court.
