WRITING AND SAYING DATES IN ENGLISH

WRITING DATES ON A FORM

On a form, you may have to write your date of birth, or you may have to write the current date next to your signature. There are two basic ways to do this:

1. You can use a combination of letters and numbers; or 2. You can use only numbers.

METHOD 1: USING A COMBINATION OF LETTERS AND NUMBERS

• Dec. 14, 1968 • Apr. 18, 2011 • Sept. 30, 2015 • July 23, 1995

Order: Month Day Year

Rule: Abbrev. (Cap. + period)

Number + comma

Number (all 4 digits)

Examples:

Dec. 14, 1968

Apr. 18, 2011

Sept. 30, 2015

July* 23, 1995

*Months with fewer than 5 letters are not abbreviated.

EXAMPLES


B122-4, ENG B123-4 15

METHOD 2: USING ONLY NUMBERS

In this method, the date is written in numbers only. The month is converted to a number. For example:

• January = 1 (or 01) • February = 2 (or 02) • March = 3 (or 03) • December = 12

A date has many possibilities; it depends on the order. See some of the options below.

Example: Sept. 8, 2012

Method 1: Letters and numbers

Method 2: Numeric Dates

YearMonthDay (Y – M – D)

MonthDayYear (M – D – Y)

DayMonthYear (D – M – Y)

Sept. 8, 2012

• 2012-9-8 • 9-8-2012 • 8-9-2012

• 2012-09-08 • 09-08-2012 • 08-09-2012

• 12/9/8 • 9/8/12 • 8/9/12

When you use Method 2, it is important to know what the order is. Most forms tell you what order to use by writing the letters Y, M and D for Year, Month and Day under the lines. Look at the following examples for Sept. 8, 2012:

• 2012 / 09 / 08 YYYY MM DD

• 8 / 9 / 12 D M YY

• 09 / 09 / 2012 MM DD YYYY


B122-4, ENG B123-4 16

EXERCISE 1

Write the following dates, using only numbers (Method 2), in the order indicated.

1. Dec. 21, 1998

__________ / ________ /_______ YYYY MM DD

2. Nov. 15, 2008 __________ - ________ - _______ M D YY

3. Jan. 2, 1975

DD MM YYYY

4. Mar. 18, 2013 __________ / ________ / _______ YY MM DD

EXERCISE 2

Write out the date in letters and numbers, using correct spelling, capitalization and punctuation.

1. 08 / 06 / 03 YY MM DD _______________________________________________

2. 8 / 6 / 03 D M YY _______________________________________________

3. 08 / 06 / 2003 MM DD YYYY _______________________________________________


B122-4, ENG B123-4 17

SAYING DATES ORALLY When we are speaking, we never say the month in numbers. (We would not say, “I was born on 09-21-2000”, but rather “I was born on September 21st, 2000”.)

We say the date the same way as we write it according to Method 1, except that we use ordinal numbers (first, second, third, fourth, etc.) instead of cardinal numbers (one, two, three four) for the day. Compare the following examples of the written and oral forms:

WRITTEN: How we write the date

(Cardinal numbers)

ORAL: How we say the date

(Ordinal numbers)

Jan. 1, 2000 January first, two thousand

Jan. 2, 2000 January second, two thousand

Jan. 3, 2000 January third, two thousand

Jan. 4, 2000 January fourth, two thousand

Jan. 5, 2000 January fifth, two thousand

Jan. 16, 2000 January sixteenth, two thousand

Jan. 20, 2000 January twentieth, two thousand

Jan. 21, 2000 January twenty-first, two thousand

Jan. 22, 2000 January twenty-second, two thousand

ETC. ETC

The date today is…


B122-4, ENG B123-4 18

How do we say the year? Study the following examples. Notice that after the year 2000, there is more than one way to say the year.

Before 2000 Between 2000-2009 From 2010 -

Written Oral Written Oral Written Oral

1997 • Nineteen ninety-seven

2000 • Two thousand 2010 • Two thousand and ten • Two thousand ten • Twenty ten

SAYING ADDRESSES

I. HOW TO SAY HOUSE AND APARTMENT NUMBERS

When you are giving your address to someone orally (e.g. on the telephone, in a taxi), there are different ways to say the house number (or the apartment number), depending on the number of digits in the address.

What is a digit?

A digit is one of the 10 symbols (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) that make up a number. Every number has one or more digits. For example, the numbers 8, 29, 351, and 1471 all have a different number of digits. Look at the table below:

Number 1 digit 2 digits 3 digits 4 digits

8 8

29 2, 9

351 3, 5, 1

1470 1, 4, 7, 0

Study the table on the following page. It shows you the different ways to say addresses in English, depending on how many digits are in the address. The same rules apply to both house addresses (e.g. 720 Clarke St.) and apartment numbers (e.g. Apt. 516).

My address is…

• 2021 Clarke St. (twenty twenty-one)

• 4630 Clarke St. (forty-six thirty)

Exception:**** • 7909 Clarke St.

(seventy-nine oh* nine)

* When saying addresses, the digit 0 (zero) is pronounced orally as the letter O (oh). ** When the middle digit is 0, you must use Option 1. *** Option 2 cannot be used if the middle digit is zero (0). **** If the third digit is zero (0), you can only group the first two digits together; the last two digits are spoken individually.
