On one occasion
Hello,
Can you please tell me how to use "on one occasion"? As I understand it means "once". If I use it, can I specify what occasion it is, or not?
For instance: "On one occasion, I lost my wallet (I don't say exactly when or where it happened).
Or:
"On one occasion, I lost my wallet when I was on my holidays in Prague" (I say where I lost it).
Are both sentences correct? If not, which sentence is?
Thank you

- There's no point in saying 'on one occasion' unless you're going to say what occasion it is.
- You may describe the occasion in general terms or in detail, but you have to give the reader some idea of what it is.
