How to write a date

15th = ordinal number

UK style	US style
15 October 2025	October 15, 2025
15th October 2025
the 15th of October

Ordinal numbers

Ordinal numbers?

Most ordinal numbers are created by adding a 'th' to the end of the number. 

Example : Four -> Fourth

Seven -> Seventh

Ten -> Tenth

For the words that 'th' does not fit, we use either 'st' or 'nd'. 

This may sometimes change the start of the word too. 

Here are some examples:

'st' is for the first position, but we don't say onest as it is an exception to the rule. 

• One-first
• Two-second
• Three-third
• Five-fifth
• Eight-eighth
• Nine-ninth

• Twelve-twelfth

Writing task

My dad’s birthday is on the 23rd of January.
