23
Q

What is different about the first letter of the month in English and in French?

A

The first letter of the month is capitalized in English, but not in French.

24
Q

Where does the month in English go? Where does it go in French?

A

English: It goes before the number.
French: It goes after the number.

25
Q

What kind of number is used to indicate the date in English? What kind of number is used to indicate the date in French?

A

English: A number that usually ends in -th. That’s called an ordinal number. It indicates order: tenth, fifth. First, second and third are also ordinal numbers although their form is a bit different.
French: Just the plain number. These are called cardinal numbers.

26
Q

What is used in French that is completely absent in English?

A

le. So, literally, we’re saying “it is the 16 of June.”

27
Q

What is the only exception of the patterns we’ve identified in French?

A

For the first day of the month, the ordinal number premier is used. It’s always in the masculine because jour that it is talking about, is masculine.

28
Q

Knowing the pattens, explain why we write mm/dd/yr in English and as dd/mm/yr in French.

A

Because when we speak, we say March 10th, 2005, for example, while in French, we would say the 10 march 2005.
