How to write date

To express dates in
English, we use ordinal
numbers. There are two
ways, namely British
format and American
format. What’s the
difference, anyway?
British format
British format is a way of
writing and reading dates
commonly used in the UK and
most countries in Europe. So,
the order of writing and
reading it is the same as in
Indonesia, namely starting
with the date, month and year.
In British format, dates are
written and read with ordinal
numbers
American format
American format is a way of
writing and reading dates
commonly used in the United
States. Different from the
British format, the American
format starts with the month
first, then the date and year.
In American format, dates are
written with cardinal
numbers, but read with
ordinal numbers.
Example date
03/07/2023 (britsh format )
3rd July 2023
The third of july twenty
twenty-thre
03/07 /2023 (american
