Hello! I�ve got a question. Can I say He has his birthday on... instead of it�s his birthday on... ? Thank you for your answer.

I�d say "It�s his birthday on ..."or "His birthday is on ..."
I�ve never heard "He has his birthday ..."

We sometimes say "He has a birthday on ...", especially if it is a special date or is coming soon. "He has his birthday on Independence Day". Of course, you can also say, "His birthday is on Independence Day".

I should explain why I asked. In our textbook there is a sentence: My mum, dad and my brother all have their birthdays in October. As I always used the verb to be here, I wonder, when I may use the verb to have. Thanks for your help.
