"1/2 month" vs "one and a half month"

Both phrases are not commonly used in English. The correct way to express this concept is "one and a half months" or "a half month." The original phrases are not grammatically correct or natural in English.

Last Updated: March 19, 2024

1/2 month

This phrase is not correct in English. The correct form is "a half month."

When referring to half a month, it is more natural to say "a half month."

Alternatives:

  • a half month
  • 0.5 months

one and a half month

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

Since one and a half is more than one, you have to use the plural of months.
