Learn English easily and didacticallyIn English, ordinal numbers are used (first, second, third, etc.) to express the dates, unlike the Spanish in which the cardinal numbers are used (one, two, three, etc.).
Today is the 2nd of June / hoy es el 2 de junio
To express the days we use the preposition 'on'. Instead, to express months or years the preposition 'in' is used.
You came on the 12th of May / viniste el 12 de mayo
You came in May / viniste en mayo
You came in 1995 / viniste en 1995
In English, unlike Spanish, the months and days are written with a capital letter.
March / marzo Monday / lunes
The days of the week are:
Sunday / domingo Monday / lunes Tuesday / martes Wednesday / miércoles
Thursday / jueves Friday / viernes Saturday / sábado
The months of the year are:
January / enero February / febrero
March / marzo April / abril
May / mayo June / junio July / julio
August / agosto September / septiembre October / octubre November / noviembre
December / diciembre
The seasons of the year are:
spring / primavera summer / verano
autumn (U.K.) fall (USA) / otoño winter / invierno
Normally, dates are written in the following order: month / day / year
June, 20th 1997 / 20 de junio de 1997 March, 3rd 2001 / 3 de marzo de 2001
We can omit the letters of order (-st, -nd, -rd, -th)
September 2, 1999 / 2 de septiembre de 1999
We can abbreviate the names of the months:
Jan / enero Feb / febrero....
As in Spanish, dates can only be written with numbers referring month, day and year. In this case, keep in mind that the USA date format is month / day / year while the U.K date format. (Great Britain) is, as in Spanish, day / month / year
June 20, 1999 USA = 6/20/1999 UK = 20/6/1999
Some other related terms:
date = fecha calendar = calendario weekday = día de la semana
working-day = día laborable holiday = festivo (holidays = vacaciones)
