    Cool on another day

    Hello!

    Is "on" necessary in this sentence, please?

    "I'll see you on another day!"

    Thank you
    Will

    Default Re: on another day

    Doesnt appears necessary to me... You can simply say: I'll see you the other day/ or some other day.

    I'm not a teacher

    No, it's not necessary.

    I agree with Huda-M's basic answer (you don't need the word "on") but I have corrected some errors in their post, particularly their suggestion that "I'll see you the other day" could be used. It could not be used. "The other day" refers to a point in the past, not the future.

    I'll see you another day.
    I'll see you some other day.
    I'll see you some other time.
