"The restaurant opens in February."

Translation: Il ristorante apre a febbraio.

[ragazzambulante]

is "a" the only preposition accepted when referring to months? If not, can anyone give me some examples of when you would use other prepositions?

[sslawek]

FWIW, I just translated the sentence as "apre in febbraio" and it was accepted.

Pretty sure I didn't get the verb apre yet

[Prisca418893]

the infinitve is "aprire"

[KatheValer]

No need to capitalize the names of months in Italian?

[chupacabrando]

Doesn't look like it. It's the same in French.

Can someone tell me the difference between a, in and nello?

[Ruckelhaxan]

It sure would be nice if Duolingo would shed some serious light on what the major differences between "a" and "in" are. I still haven't been able to figure that out on my own. One thought, thought: could it be as simple as that you use "a" before months beginning with a consonant and "in" before those beginning with a vowel??

[SJ1404]

apre di febbraio was accepted too. Also, months aren't proper nouns in Italian so they aren't capitalised.

[Roger308144]

when is "a" used versus "in"

[AniOhevYayin]

Both work, but here's a link to some nuances: https://www.thoughtco.com/italian-vocabulary-italian-calendar-months-4087628
