Usage of 'over' #1 (permalink) Fri Mar 21, 2008 13:51 pm   Usage of 'over'
 

If somebody asks me when my birthday is, and if I want to tell them it's already over, how can I put it?

Can I say in any of the following ways? (by the way, is this sentence correct?)

1. It's over last week
2. It's over. It was last week.
3. It's gone/gone by

Can someone please help me with this?
