你好Ms Grace,

晚上好！

I would like to ask you about using 方向感 in some sentences.

Also, from one of the expansions,

他没有收到三月份的帐单。

Why is there a 份 after 月to refer to the month of March? 说“三月”就可以了吗？

When do we use "份" in general?

谢谢你！

你好 Marlon,
份 means portion.一年有12个月，我们把12个月分成12份。
When we talking about a single month, some people 
prefer to use 月份.But when we counting the twelve 
months, we just use number pius 月,like 3月.
Also, we say 下个月、上个月instead of 下个月份 or 上个月份.

About 方向感, if you have no sense of direction, you can 
say我没有方向感. Actually I can not tell the directions 
especially when I arrive at a new place. I heard that
女人的方向感比男人的差.Do you agree?

Best,
Grace
