There was a memorable day

Hi,
If you are talking about a specific day, say

That was a memorable day for them.

That was an unlucky day for them.

There was a memorable day. (correct?)

There was a memorable in the life of my grandfather: the day that the first of his children was born. [Introduction]

My father had his hands full: he was opening a new store, he had just one the lottery, and I was born. That was a memorable day! [Conclusion]

one?

Thanks, YL. I am getting to an age where people need to listen to what I mean rather than what I say, and you obviously do a good job.

Hi Philip

I think I can understand why you made the mistake; 'won' is pronounced as 'one'.

In my country, a lot of us pronounced 'won' as 'worn'. That's one of the problems created by correct pronunciation; sometimes it causes us to spell wrongly.
