    English date:How to write the small letters after the number


    You probably already know to write the date in English: (American English)

     

     

     

    Monday, April 25th 2020

    Thursday, May, 21st 2016

     

     

    But how can I choose the red part?

    It's very easy

     

    Monday, April 25th 2020

    =

    Monday, the twenty-fifth of April 2020 

     

    1st, 2nd, 3rd are ordinal numbers - numbers which allow us to define a thing's position in a series.

    You should learn them. They are below:

    3rdthird (from 'three')
    4thfourth
    5thfifth (from 'five')
    6thsixth
    7thseventh
    8theighth (ONE 't')
    9thninth (NO 'e')
    10thtenth
    11th eleventh
    12th twelfth (from 'two')
    13th thirteenth
    14thfourteenth

    30ththirtieth
    31stthirty-first

     

    Monday, April 24.. 2036

    The number ends in "-th". The correct spelling is:

    Monday, April 24th 2036
    (Monday, the twenty-fourth of April 2036)

     

    Be careful with these ordinal numbers: 11th, 12th and 13th.

    Good luck!
