DATES & YEARS in British & American English


Hello everyone again in learning English with Lucy.
Today will I do to correct an error
Many of you are doing.
I’ll tell you how to say and write dates properly.
Now, the main thing that confuses people, is the difference
Between the dates of American and British dates.
Americans say first month,
Then today,
Then the year.
As for Brtanian they say today first,
Then month,
Then the year.
If this is the main difference
I tell the history of AD is the tenth of June 1994
Americans say June 10, 1994
Now another mistake they are doing people, which they confuse the original numbers and ordinal numbers
The following is the original preparation:
One,
Two,
three,
four,
five.
Then, our ordinal numbers:
the first,
The second
the third,
the fourth,
Fifth.
You see the difference?
Issue number
ordinal
Now, shortcut ordinal numbers are as follows: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th.
And so forth.
We always We will use this format when writing our histories
It’s very rare to see the ordinal number is abbreviated dates written
This is just a waste of space.
Like many things on this planet.
Another mistake is that students often forget
We begin writing months with a capital letter.
Make sure you understand well how to pronounce months of the year
If you have any doubts about how to learn speech you can watch this video
In the above card.
January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.
Any month is your favorite?
I hung at the bottom and Oborne why.
if,
This is how you write history.
In English Bartanih the tenth of June 1994
In the United States June 1994 X
Now, you guessed when I read history Balbrtanih?
It is written in 10th June 1994
But I said, (the) 10th (from) June 1994.
Therefore, you do not need to write the and of but need to say it
If you say: AD is the tenth festival in June 1994 “
Some look strange and unnatural thing
So I want to say “AD is the feast of the 10 June 1994”
In American English this is not necessary.
AD Festival is June 10, 1994.
Now, something else that tends to be really confusing it is to say how the years.
With the years before the Millennium (1994)
We know that we divide it into two parts:
18 | 25,
10 | 66.
66 | 10 For example
When you go beyond the year 2000 things start to be more complex
There are two ways to say the dates were acceptable:
You can say twenty and after the number
Although, with the years before the two thousand and ten, you want to say
O9
We will tell twenty o eight, twenty o nine, twenty ten
Otherwise, if you want to say twenty nine, you will be like
Number 29.
And therefore,
You must say twenty o nine
I prefer to say the full number. I like to say:
Two thousand and seventeen
The important thing to Taatzkroh is (and)
It is essential that you include (and) when it says history, starting with the year 2000
Two thousand and one (2001),
Two thousand and ten (2010),
Two thousand and seventeen (2017)
Now, I say Samatamona n, n?
I just do I add the clip and tell n, n
Two thousand and one (2001)
Two thousand and seventeen (2017)
So I am using the voice of P Chua
2017
Two thousand and twelve (2012)
