Describing character
Dates En inglés se utilizan los números ordinales (first, second, third, etc.) para expresar las fechas, a diferencia del español en que se emplean los números cardinales (uno, dos, tres, etc.). Today is the 2nd of June / hoy es el 2 de junio Para expresar los días utilizamos la preposición 'on'. En cambio, para expresar meses o años se utiliza la preposición 'in'. You came on the 12th of May / viniste el 12 de mayo You came in May / viniste en mayo You came in 1995 / viniste en 1995
En inglés, a diferencia del español, los meses y los días se escriben con mayúscula. March / marzo
Monday / lunes
Los días de la semana son: Sunday / domingo Monday / lunes Tuesday / martes Wednesday / miércoles Thursday / jueves Friday / viernes Saturday / sábado Los meses del año son: January / enero February / febrero March / marzo April / abril May / mayo June / junio July / julio August / agosto September / septiembre October / octubre November / noviembre December / diciembre Las estaciones del año son: spring / primavera summer / verano autumn (U.K.) fall (USA) / otoño winter / invierno Normalmente, las fechas se escriben en el siguiente orden: mes / día / año June, 20th 1997 / 20 de junio de 1997
March, 3rd 2001 / 3 de marzo de 2001
Podemos omitir las letras de orden (-st, -nd, -rd, -th)
September 2, 1999 / 2 de septiembre de 1999 Podemos abreviar los nombres de los meses: Jan / enero Feb / febrero.... Al igual que en español, las fechas pueden escribirse únicamente con números refiriendo mes, día y año. En este caso, hay que tener presente que el formato de fecha USA es mes/día/año mientras que el formato de fecha U.K. (Gran Bretaña) es, como en español, día/mes/año 20 de junio de 1999
USA= 6/20/1999
UK= 20/6/1999
Algunos otros términos relacionados: date = fecha calendar = calendario weekday = día de la semana working-day = día laborable holiday = festivo (holidays = vacaciones) day = día month = mes year = año yesterday = ayer tomorrow = mañana
