Grammar
On vs. in
Hello, all. I have a question to ask.
I was using a sentence “~the goods will be shipped on week 39.”
However, someone told me that the correct way to say it was : "~in week 39", and that “on week ~“ did not exist grammatically.
Could you please tell me whether this is true and explain why?
Thank you in advance.
