How to write sign date

Hi guys, it's Marine. Welcome back to My Little English Page. Today's video is about dates, how to write and how to say dates. At the beginning of every class, I ask one student in my classroom to give me the date and more often than not there's mistakes. So we're gonna have a look at the most common way to write and say the date. And we'll also have a look at how Americans do it because it's a little bit different. So, this is how you write the date. You first write the number, the month comma and the year. The year is used for more formal situations, you can skip the year. But as you can see, there are no prepositions. Okay? don't use prepositions as you write. You should say "the 12th of June 2017". So, as we pronounce, as we say the date we add 'the' and we add 'of' Be careful , don't write it though! Now...Americans do it a little bit differently because they put the month first. So this is what a date written in American English would look like. As you can see, we start with the month then we have the day comma and finally you add the year. How do you pronounce that? Well you would say "October the 12th...2017" this is also going to have an impact on how you write the shorter version of the date, the one that only includes numbers. Here is how you would write it in British English. You would have first 12/06 for June and then you have two options either 2017 or you just write the last two digits 17. Now for American English that's gonna be different. We're going to start with the month first. So it would be 6 or 06 then the day 12 and again you can choose to write the last two digits or the full year 17 or 2017. Alright guys, that's it for today! Why don't you write your birthday in the comment section below and I will correct it if it's written incorrectly.
