The date in English

     In British English the day is usually put before the month. If you wish, you can add the ending of the ordinal number. The preposition of before the month is usually dropped. You can put a comma before the year, but this is not common anymore in British English.

     Use the definite article the before the day and the preposition of before the month, but only in spoken English.
