    We can ask about dates in several equivalent ways such as "What date did they get married?", "What's the date today?", or "What's today's date?". When stating dates, we say numbers like "fourteen ninety-two" for 1492, "seventeen hundred" for 1700, and "eighteen hundred and one" or "eighteen oh one" for 1801. For years after 2000, we say numbers like "two thousand", "two thousand and three", or "twenty oh three". It's important to use correct abbreviated date forms and not mistakes like "the 28st of January".

    We ask the date or about dates in several ways.

    We can add the and of when
    we reply:

    What date did they get married?

    A: What date is it?
    B: It’s the first of June. (1st June)
    A: What’s the date today?
    B: It’s June the first. (June 1st)
    A: What’s today’s date?
    B: Fifteenth of April. (15th April)

    We talk about years like this:

    Before the year 2000


    1492: fourteen ninety-two

    1700: seventeen hundred

    1801: eighteen hundred and one or eighteen oh /əʊ/ one

    1908: nineteen oh eight

    After the year 2000


    2000: two thousand

    2003: two thousand and three or twenty oh three

    2012: two thousand and twelve or twenty twelve

    Typical error
     Make sure you use the correct abbreviated form:

    My birthday is the 28th of January.

    Not: … the 28st …
