the presentation day

[uktous]

Hi

Question:
Can I say “the presentation day”?

The idea I want to convey:
We aimed to complete our work before the day that we gave the presentation.

Sentence:
We aimed to complete our work before the presentation day.

Thanks

That doesn't sound natural to me.

Our goal was to have everything finalized the day prior to the presentation.

I agree. You could also say,"...the day before the presentation".

Hi,

If I want to finish it any time before the presentation, what should I say?

"before the presentation"?
Any other suggestions?

Thanks

That's fine, but I think it would be expected that you'd have it done by the time it was needed.
