    Today is 31st of December.
         In oral speech, we introduce the particle the before the number.

    Today is the 31st of December.
  • DAYS

    Each month is divided into weeks and each week has seven days. The days in English end with the particle -day:

    The first letter of both the months of the year and the days of the week in English is always written in capital letters:
    IMG UNIT 38-14
    I have holidays in August.
    IMG UNIT 38-15
    I go to pilates every Monday.
  • SEASONS

    Each year has four seasons in which the different months of the year are grouped together, each season usually lasting three months. Each season usually has its particular weather conditions.

    AUTUMN
