We write the date in English in different ways.
The most common way in British English is to write the
day of the month first, then the month (starting with a capital letter)
and then the year:

20 January 1993
14 November 2005

We can also write the date in numbers only:

20 January 1993 = 20/1/1993

14 November 2005 = 14–11–2005 or 14.11.05
+

Sometimes the last two letters of the number as

spoken can be used (th, rd, st, nd):

Today is the 7th September.

The grand opening is on 1st June. or … on June 1st.

With the exception of May and June, months can be shortened as follows:

Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, Jul, Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec.

Subject Pronoun

the place of a noun as the subject of a sentence. The sentence’s
subject is the person or thing that performs the action of a verb.

2. He plays soccer
3. It is cold

+ Object pronoun
An object pronoun is a type of personal pronoun that is
normally used as a grammatical object, either as the direct
or indirect object of a verb, or as the object of a preposition.
+ Los pronombres personales funcionan como sujeto, así que usualmente
aparecen en primera posición, antes del verbo. Sin embargo, los pronombres de
objeto se colocan siempre detrás del verbo o de una preposición. Por ejemplo,
en la frase I love you (Te quiero), I es el pronombre personal y you es
el pronombre de objeto.
