One, two, three ... are cardinal numbers.
First, second, third ... are ordinal numbers.

Ordinal numbers normally show the order or sequence of something or someone.
(More about the uses of ordinal numbers below)

You can normally create ordinal numbers by adding -TH to the end of a cardinal number.

The main exceptions are with the numbers 1, 2, and 3.

Also you need to be careful with the spelling of some ordinal numbers:

When do we use ordinal numbers?

The number of the day

For dates in spoken English, we always use ordinal numbers, i.e. Fourthof July, not Four of July.

Ordinal numbers = Numbers that show the order or sequence. Normally a -TH appears at the end of the number. e.g. seven ... seven th

However the ordinal numbers that are highlighted in red in the chart below are irregular or have a slight change in spelling. See our complete lesson about Ordinal Numbers in English.

In spoken English we ALWAYS use ordinal numbers for dates. However in written English you may write a normal (cardinal) number without the -TH or -ST etc. after it. Even if it is not written, the ordinal number is still said in spoken English. In United States it is NOT common to put the -th after the number in written English.

Order of Days and Months when saying the date

There are two ways of giving the date in English:

Month + Day: December 25 - used in United States.* OR

Day + Month: 25th December - used in the rest of the world.

* The exception is with the name of the US celebration the Fourth of July.

How to say the YEARS in English

Years are normally divided into two parts; the first two digits and the last two digits. **

2017 is divided into 20 and 17 so you would say twenty seventeen.

** For the exceptions, see our entire lesson about How to say the YEAR in English.

Writing the date in English

Be careful when writing the dates using only numbers.

For example, Christmas day is written:

12 / 25 / 17 in United States (the month is first) and

25 / 12 / 17 in the rest of the world (the day is first).

So what day is this? 3/4/17

It depends on the country. It can be:

March fourth, twenty seventeen (in United States) OR

The third of April, twenty seventeen (in the rest of the world)

There's a big difference, isn't there!

To avoid confusion, when writing an email or any other written form of English, it is best to write the month as its name (January, February, etc.) or its abbreviation (Jan. Feb. etc.) and NOT as its number.

And remember, the months are always written in Capital letters.

In US English, a comma is put after the day if it is followed by a year.

How can you ask for the date in English?

The main ways of asking the date are:

What day is it today?
- People will probably respond with a day of the week (It's Monday) or the number (It's the 19th).

What date is it?
- People may give you the number (It's the 19th) or the day/month (It's 19th May or May 19th). They will not answer with a day of the week.

What is the date (today)? OR What is today's date?
- This is another way where you will get a number as an answer.

The response to your question will most likely start with...
