Should I use "day" or "date" ? Hello, I have written 2 sentences but still wonder which one is correct: Sentence 1: " Hitachi announced on February 22, 2019 that it had made Hitachi Capital a wholly-owned subsidiary on the same date" ( the day that Hitachi announced and the day that it made Hitachi Capital a subsidiary are the same) Sentence 2: " Hitachi announced on February 22, 2019 that it had made Hitachi Capital a wholly-owned subsidiary on the same day" ( the day that Hitachi announced and the day that it made Hitachi Capital a subsidiary are the same) Please explain to me which one is correct to be used here, " on the same day" or " on the same date". Or if both phrases are acceptable, which one is more preferred ? Thanks you so much !!

They are both acceptable. Date is a bit more formal than day.

Hello Nam, For me , neither the first nor the second is gramatically correct. Moreover, I see no reason to use the phrase " at that date/day". I would say : On 22 Febuary 2019 Hitachi announced Hitachi Capital as/ to be a wholly-owned subsidiary. I am not quite sure why you are using the adverb "wholly" and not sure if it is correctly used though.
