Usage tips
Correct preposition
For months like 'Juli' (July), you use the preposition 'in', which merges with the article to form 'im'. When talking about a specific day in the month, you use 'am'.
EXAMPLE
Im Juli ist es hier meistens sehr heiß.
In July, it is usually very hot here.
Typical time expressions
To indicate an approximate point in time within the month, the combinations 'Anfang Juli' (early July), 'Mitte Juli' (mid-July), and 'Ende Juli' (late July) are often used.
EXAMPLE
Wir erwarten die Lieferung Ende Juli.
We expect the delivery at the end of July.
Use with article
Although the word has the article 'der', this is often replaced in a sentence by the preposition 'im'. The article 'der' is mainly used when the month is the subject of the sentence.
EXAMPLE
Der letzte Juli war ungewöhnlich kühl.
Last July was unusually cool.
Compare with
Juli vs Juni
June
'der Juni' and 'der Juli' are two months that come directly after each other. 'Der Juni' is the sixth month and comes after May. 'Der Juli' is the seventh month and comes after June. They are easy to confuse because the names look very similar and both begin with 'Ju-'. The order is important: first Juni, then Juli. For appointments and dates, you should therefore pay especially close attention to the ending.
Juli
Im Juli nehmen wir zwei Wochen Urlaub.
In July, we are taking two weeks of vacation.
Juni
Meine Freundin beginnt den neuen Kurs im Juni.
My friend starts the new course in June.
