Usage tips
Correct preposition
When you want to express that something happens in this month, you always use the preposition 'im' (in dem; in the).
EXAMPLE
Im März habe ich Geburtstag.
My birthday is in March.
Typical collocations
To indicate an approximate time in the month, the words 'Anfang' (beginning), 'Mitte' (middle), or 'Ende' (end) are often used. For example, you say 'Anfang März' (at the beginning of March), 'Mitte März' (in mid-March), or 'Ende März' (at the end of March).
EXAMPLE
Wir fahren Ende März in den Urlaub.
We are going on vacation at the end of March.
Giving a date
While you say 'im März' (in March) for the month, you use the preposition 'am' (on) for an exact date. The ordinal number is declined in this case.
EXAMPLE
Das neue Projekt startet im März.
The new project starts in March.
