Prepositional Phrase

Please note that with effect from 3.7.2011, for the whole of July, our meetings shall be at No. 10, Downing Street.

Is the prepositional phrase, "for the whole of July", at the right place?

(By the way, is it called "prepositional phrase"?)

  • 2011, for the whole of July , our meetings shall be at No.
  • 10, Downing Street.
  • Is the prepositional phrase, "for the whole of July", at the right place?
  • 2011 means 3rd July, I'd say 'for t he rest of July'.

Hi,

Thank you very much, Clive.

Yes, "3.7.2011", indeed, means "3rd July". And, may I know, what the difference is between "for the whole of July" and your suggestion, "for the rest of July"?

Hi,

The whole of July - from the 1st. to the 31st.

The rest of July - the part after 3rd. July, ie from the 4th. to the 31st.
