[Grammar] What's the date of Thanksgiving this year? It is "on"...

[Lacierva]

Which one is correct? With "on" or without "on"?

(1) What's the date of Thanksgiving this year?
It is "on"_____________.

(2) What's the date of Thanksgiving this year?
It is _____________.



How about...

What's the date of the concert?
It is "on"______________.

With or without on?


Thank you in advance.

Many thanks,
Shiera

I would accept "on" but probably not use it.
You'll also encounter "falls[SUP]*[/SUP] on" in such sentences. In that case, "on" is needed.

* "falls", "fell" or "will fall" ... etc, depending on the required tense.

 

[Lacierva]

Thank you all for answering the question.

How about...

What's the date of the concert?
It is "on"______________.

With or without on?

Thanks a lot!

I am fine with or without "on." Christmas is always on December 25th.

 

[Skrej]

I'm okay with or without it as well, although personally I prefer the 'on'.

I would use on, and teach my students to use it too.
