The date

Los números ordinales se usan en inglés para expresar fechas y establecer el orden de las cosas. 

Ejemplos:

My birthday is on the fourteenth of July= Mi cumpleaños es el catorce de julio.

Maths is the second lesson in the morning= Matemáticas es la segunda clase de la mañana.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 ¿Cómo se expresan las fechas en inglés?

Hay muchas maneras de escribir una fecha en inglés. Éstas varían de formal a informal, y hay bastantes diferencias entre el inglés británico y el americano. Es mejor que aprendas una fórmula correctamente.

 

Lo primero es repasar los meses y los números ordinales.

Aquí tienes un vídeo con los meses.

 

                             

• January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

¡Ojo! Los meses se escriben con mayúscula. 

Aquí tienes los ordinales hasta el 31

 

• first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-first, twenty-second, twenty-third, twenty-fourth, twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth, twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth, thirtieth, thirty-first

LISTEN TO THE ORDINAL NUMBERS

Ahora vamos a poner un ejemplo:

Cervantes was born on 29th September 1547 (Se lee: Cervantes was born on the twenty-ninth of September fifteen forty-seven)

¿Cómo se leen los años?

1959= nineteen fifty-nine

1900= nineteen hundred

2008= two thousand and eight

1903= nineteen oh three

También conviene que sepas estas abreviaturas: 

AD: Significa "Anno Domini"(Año de Nuestro Señor, refiriéndose a Jesucristo)

BC: Significa "Before Christ" (antes de Cristo)

 

 

Por ejemplo si vemos escrito esta fecha: 400 BC quiere decir que es el año 400 antes de Cristo.

Conviene también que sepas lo que significan estas preguntas:

What day is it today? It's Friday. (¿Qué día es hoy?)

What date is it today?/ What's the date today? (¿Qué fecha es hoy?)It's the sixteenth of March
