Date, Days, Months, and Years

1. Date

Before learning how to say the date in English, you should know about ordinal
numbers

(first, second, third, etc) instead of cardinal numbers (one, two, three, etc). Let’s look
at these

ordinal numbers:

• 1st – first

• 2nd – second

• 3rd – third

• 4th – fourth

• 5th – fifth

• 6th – sixth

• 7th – seventh

• 8th – eighth

• 9th – ninth

• 10th – tenth
• 11th – eleventh

• 12th – twelfth

• 13th – thirteenth

• 14th – fourteenth

• 15th – fifteenth

• 16th – sixteenth

• 17th – seventeenth

• 18th – eighteenth

• 19th – nineteenth

The numbers ending in -ty, like 20 and 30, change the -y to -i and add -eth. For
example:

• 20th – twentieth

• 30th – thirtieth

• 21st – twenty-first

• 22nd – twenty-second

• 23rd – twenty-third

• 24th – twenty-fourth

• 25th – twenty-fifth

• 26th – twenty-sixth

• 27th – twenty-seventh

• 28th – twenty-eighth

• 29th – twenty-ninth

• 30th – thirtieth

• 31st – thirty-first
