Nov 7, 2012 · England (aged 79) UK English. Nov 7, 2012. #4. We say "at dawn on Friday" or "on the dawn of Friday". If the birthday is on Friday (what does before my birthday mean?), I would say At dawn on Friday, the day of my birthday etc. By dawn, suggested by Egmont, also works, but I would again prefer By dawn on Friday.

From the Wikipedia page on the book. The title, Breaking Dawn, is a reference to the beginning of Bella's life as a newborn vampire. Originally, Meyer wanted to title the book Forever Dawn, but she thought the name was very "cheesy". Wanting to add a "sense of disaster" to the title to match the novel's mood, she called it Breaking Dawn.
May 26, 2018 · English-US. May 26, 2018. #2. Hello. "At the dawn" is possible if it's part of a larger phrase, but such a use would be rare: They awoke at the dawn of the third day and.... If it isn't part of some unusual longer phrase, it is not normal to use "at the dawn/dusk". I don't think I've ever heard or read "at the night" in any text or conversation.

Sep 25, 2007 · Thanks. I understand "the dawn is rising", but I have never heard it said that way. At dawn, the sun rises and daylight breaks. At dusk, the sun sets and night falls. I would omit "the" from the second sentence. More ways to say it: "A new day is dawning." "Daylight is breaking: a new day." "The curtain is rising on a new day."
Oct 7, 2021 · Cumbria, UK. British English. Oct 7, 2021. #3. The meaning of "as" is this one, from as - WordReference.com Dictionary of English: to the same degree or amount . "Of" means "belonging to" or "assocuated with". The dim light of the moon cast a pale light similar to that cast by an approaching dawn. It sounds rather fanciful to me.
Feb 26, 2018 · Feb 26, 2018. #2. This is a little joke. "It's on till the break of dawn" means that something will happen that lasts all night. I can't be sure, but Ted and Marshall may be referring to the idea that Ted and this woman will have sex after their date. TV dialog is hard to interpret without a lot of context, ingeniousforesta.

Aug 19, 2019 · German/English bilingual. Aug 19, 2019. #5. "Come dawn" basically means "when dawn comes". (cross-posted) I agree that it's probably a subjunctive, and this form survives in the established idiom "come hell or high water", where it is not a preposition of time but has the meaning of "even if hell or high water should come".
