Use of instrumental case when talking about the morning
My textbook says to use intstrumental when talking about the morning, evening, day or night. For example:
"I will be visiting in the morning/evening/day/night"
"Я буду посетить утром/вечером/днём/ночью"
"I will be visiting tomorrow morning/evening/day/night"
"Я буду посетить завтра утром/вечером/днём/ночью"
I will be visiting the day after tomorrow in the morning
"Я буду посетить послезавтра утром"
Are these sentences correct?
Thanks in advance.

If your book says “Я буду посетить” throw it out into a garbage can.

All other aspects are correct. In the other examples you can also say "я буду посещать", but in this context it is much worse, IMHO.

Thank you for your quick responses.
Actually, my textbook just says to use утром for "in the morning" and does not give any examples. I made up the examples myself :oops:
Anyway, can you use instrumental for months or days of the week?
I will be visiting in January.
Я посещу январём
I will be visiting on Monday.
Я посещу понедельником.
I will be visiting on Monday morning.
Я посещу понедельником утром.

I will be visiting on Monday morning.
Я посещу понедельником утром.
No you can't say this way. But only:
I will be visiting in January.
Я посещу в январе (p.c.)
I will be visiting on Monday.
Я посещу в понедельник (a.c).
I will be visiting on Monday morning.
Я посещу в понедельник (a.c) утром (i.c).
The usage of instrumental is correct only for "утром/вечером/днём/ночью" and also for seasons (зимой/весной/летом/осенью)

Thank you for all your help.
So let me get this straight
1. parts of the day and seasons use instrumental
2. Months use в + prepositional
3. Days of the week use в + accusative
Is this grammatically correct?
I will be visiting in January in the winter on a Tuesday morning.
Я посещу в январе зимой в вторник утром.
What about dates and times?
I will be visiting on Tuesday on January the 5th 2007 at 5 o'clock in the evening
Я посещу в вторник в январе пятый два тысяча семь лет пять часов вечером.

You can say утром/днем/вечером/ночью, BUT:
В 7 часов утр́а
В 3 часа дня
В 5 часов вечера
В 2 часа ночи
