WRITING AND SAYING DATES

Hello again. I hope you are having a good day.

The way we write and say DATES is sometimes different in American and British English.

AMERICAN
Written
December 11 or December 11th

Spoken
December eleventh, December the 11th

As numbers
12/11/20 (Notice that the month comes first.)


BRITISH
Written
11 December, 11th December, December 11 or December 11th

Spoken
The eleventh of December or December the eleventh.

As numbers
11/12/20

So, the US dates are generally written and spoken with the month first, while the British generally put the day first (like in Spanish and Catalan). However, there is a lot of variation in spoken English, so the way we say the dates is not strictly American or British; it's just a tendency.

Have a great day!
