A good end-of-Ramadan greeting is “Eid Mubarak,” which translates from Arabic as “Blessed Feast” or “Blessed Festival.”
Eid al-Fitr is the celebration that marks the end of the month of Ramadan. Its name means “festival of the breaking of the fast,” as Muslims fast during Ramadan.
Only use “Eid Mubarak” once it is Eid al-Fitr. During Ramadan, you can use “Ramadan Mubarak” or Happy Ramadan.
Before sending any end-of-Ramadan greetings, run a QuillBot grammar check to make sure you’ve spelled “Eid Mubarak” correctly.

The end of Ramadan is called “Eid al-Fitr,” which translates from Arabic as “festival of the breaking of the fast.” Sometimes it is referred to simply as “Eid.”
The name comes from the fact that Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the month of Ramadan, during which Muslims fast. Eid al-Fitr lasts 1–3 days depending on location.
Once Ramadan changes to Eid, so do the greetings that people use. You can wish someone a Happy Ramadan by saying “Ramadan Mubarak,” but once Eid al-Fitr arrives, use “Eid Mubarak.”
QuillBot’s Grammar Checker can make sure you write “Eid al-Fitr” and “Ramadan” correctly.

“Birthday” is considered a closed compound word like “playground,” “basketball,” or “cupcake.”
Whether you’re sending birthday wishes to a best friend, a family member, or a coworker, QuillBot’s free Paraphraser will help you choose the right words.

The US holiday is typically referred to as Presidents’ Day (with the apostrophe following the “s”). It celebrates the birthdays of both George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, so the plural noun “presidents” is made into a possessive noun by adding an apostrophe to the end.
The holiday goes by various official names in different states, and at the federal level, it is known as Washington’s Birthday. However, Presidents’ Day is the most general way to refer to the mid-February holiday.
A QuillBot grammar check can help you use apostrophes correctly in all your writing.

When referring to the holiday itself, the correct spelling is Valentine’s (e.g., “Happy Valentine’s Day!”). The holiday is named after St. Valentine, so “Valentine’s Day” uses the possessive noun form. It is also always capitalized since it is a proper noun.
However, valentines (with no apostrophe) is correct when you are referring to cards that are sent on Valentine’s Day (e.g., “She has to bring 25 valentines for her class”).
QuillBot’s Grammar Checker can help you use Valentine’s or valentines correctly.
