God, that's really useful! A question: "the deadline is the 13th" is suitable in this context?
ReplyDeleteYeah--"The deadline (to do something) is the 13th" is totally correct. At least in American English, though, "due date" is the most natural to use in a school context for "the day to turn assignments in by". I associate "deadlines" with journalism, for example, or applications. What I would say 9 times out of 10 is "It's due the 13th" (basically "es para el día 13").
