Lesson “a” birthdays

Example: My birthday is on the sixth of August

Mi cumpleaños es el seis de agosto

The first day of school is on the fifteenth of September

El primer día de colegio es el quince de septiembre

Saint George's day is on the twenty-third of April

El día de San Jorge es el veintitrés de abril

Como ves, siempre empleamos la preposición on en las fechas.

En inglés americano se dice primero el mes y después el día:

April 26 - April the twenty-sixth

La forma de decir el año - Nineteen ninety-six sí el año 1.996

será:

19 - 96, o sea, nineteen ninety-six

Cuando nos referimos a los años siempre utilizamos la

preposición in - "en":


“En 1874” = in eighteen seventy-four ...

Los números de las fechas en inglés se escriben así:1st2nd3rd4th5th etc excepto 21st, 23rd y 31st

Hay varias maneras de escribir o decir la fecha en inglés:

- Today is Tuesday the 15th of March 2011 ó- Today is the 15th of March ó March the 15th

Cuando decimos en inglés el número de la fecha (15th) se dice "the" pero no es correcto escribirlo. Recordemos que el sonido "th" en inglés equivale a la "z" española.

Escribimos la fecha en inglés de la siguiente manera:

Today is Tuesday 15th March 2011. Tambien entre la fecha (15th) y el mes se dice of pero no es correcto escribirlo

Tuesday 15th March (se dice Tuesday the 15th of March)

15th March (se dice the 15th of March)
