How do we say the date in English? Do we say the month first, or the day?
We say the month first, and then the day (in American English)
More information on this topic:
The important thing is that we always say them with ordinal numbers:
Say: June THIRD, not June THREE
Say: February SIXTEENTH, not February SIXTEEN
Say: May TWENTY-FIRST, not May TWENTY-ONE
We sometimes write it May 21 and sometimes May 21st, but when speaking we always say third, sixteenth, twenty-first, etc.
You’ll sometimes hear people say:
the third of June
the sixteenth of February
the twenty-first of May
These forms are also correct.
When we say the year, we say it like this:
Years before 2000:
1804 = eighteen oh four (not one thousand eight hundred and four)
1963 = nineteen sixty-three (not one thousand nine hundred and sixty-three)
For the years 2000 – 2009:
We say two thousand one, two thousand two, and so on (we don’t say “twenty oh two”)
When it comes to the years 2010 and above, some people say “two thousand nineteen” and some people say “twenty nineteen” – both are fine.
