I wanted to use this, but I don't know if it's actually valid in English:     The specified date is invalid.It points to a non-existing day.   I'm not a native speaker, and I just want to say that the input points to a date that does not exist, like 30th February.

Why does it sound perfectly natural to say Our flight leaves tomorrow at 6pm but weird to say It rains tomorrow at 6pm? What kind of scenario, if any, could make the rain sentence sound natural?

Is it right to say   He was telling me that he will go on a vacation next week.  while recounting your experience?  Even though "he told me that he is going..." seems more appropriate, I would still like to know if the above mentioned expression sounds okay or not.

Where did you go last night?   Where went you last night?   Is there a reason we say the first of the previous two sentences as opposed to the last one?   I know the second sentence is ungrammatical. I was just wondering if there was more of a rule than just "asking questions in the simple past needs 'did' + verb in the present tense."

Is it correct to use "at" followed by a place name (city, town, village, etc.)? I've been seeing phrases like "a hotel at Las Vegas" or "she was living at London" quite a lot recently. Is this a difference between British and US English, perhaps?

Can we interchange the sentences " What's the date today?" and "what day is it today?"  In grammar is it correct to use these sentences interchangeably?  For example "What's the day today?" and "what date is it today?"

I have been wondering what it means when people use "respectively" in, before, and after sentences. For example:     We are looking for a babysitter to pick up and supervise our kids ages   6 and 3, respectively, on Monday and Friday.   I don't know if this person used it correctly, but if they did what does it mean? If they didn't use it properly what would be the proper usage?  Thanks in advance.

Today I found myself in a situation that I asked "Which class" to a friend who said that "we are going to the class". Then one of my friends said that I should ask "what class" and another one said both (what class and which class) are correct. Who is right?  This issue I meet often when I'm talking about things, such as:      What day/ which day?      What floor / which floor?      what teacher / which teacher?      What page / which page?      What place / which place?      What line (bus) / Which line?      What /which sentence (do you agree with)?

Consider this:     I like to eat here.   vs     I would eat here.   It appears to me that "to" has nothing to do with the infinitive form of the verb that follows. It is, in this example,  an integral part of like to, not of to eat.  Is my thinking flawed? If you think it is, could you please explain which form of the verb "eat" is used in the second example, if not the infinitive?

I've met the following phrase:     Something happened on February 12-25, 2010.    It means that some event started on February 12th and ended on February 25th. Actually the text was about the Olympic Games. Is it correct to use the preposition on here? And how should it be pronounced in oral speach? Thank you in advance.

What's the difference between:  I will be eating cakes tomorrow. I will eat cakes tomorrow.   And, when should I use the first form?

When I tell people about the football/baseball/soccer/basketball game they are supposed to have today, I say     We have a game today.   which I think is strange. It is strange that it sounds idiomatic and even grammatically correct.   But this is the specific game we have today at some specific place at some specific time. And there is only one game that I am talking about. So why is it not 'we have the game today?'  Side thought: Also should  I say 'the specific game we have today' or 'a specific game we have today'? I think both are acceptable, but have slightly different meaning. Can't explain the difference though.
