begin

[Taka]

What is the difference between the two below?

It begins on Friday.
It begins from Friday.

Or does the second one sound wrong?

 

[J&K Tutoring]

Second sentence is wrong.

 

[Taka]

But this one sounds OK, doesn't it?

The rainy season begins from July.

Why do you think 'from July' sounds fine whereas 'from Friday' doesn't?

 

[Rover_KE]

I don't think starts from July sounds fine at all.

In Japan, the rainy season begins in June.

Is this grammatically correct?

 

[Rover_KE]

Yes! It certainly is.

 

[Taka]

For your information, that example of rainy season was from here:

Weather in Guam Island

So you don't think it's written by a native speaker of English?

 

[SoothingDave]

"The rainy season runs from June to September." is OK. But not "begins from..."

The website company is in India. So this may be a regional variation, or it may be simply wrong. It certainly seems wrong to American and British ears.

Weather in Guam Island

[not a teacher]

Even the title sounds wrong to me.

Either

Weather in Guam​

or

Weather on Guam Island​
