In casual conversation, a question like "when is it...?" gets shortened to "when's it...?"
This is pronounced with a "z" sound, like "wenzit" or "hoozit" (who's it).
(something) is due
The time when an assignment, project, or application "is due" is the time that it must be finished by. The idea is very similar to a deadline. However, "deadline" is a noun and "due" is an adjective.
You can tell what the time something is "due" is by saying:
- due on (a day)
I think it's due on the 23rd.
- due by (a time)
It was due by midnight last night.
- due (next ___/last ___)
Your application is due next Tuesday.
