- When specifying dates in full (including the day, month, year), ordinal numbers must be used to indicate the number and quantitative numbers for the year:
on 23 February, 1478 = on the twenty third of February, fourteen seventy eight (23 February 1478)
NB! In such cases, we omit the "year" in speech.

As for grammatical points, it is worth paying attention to the following:
- Prepositions are not used in expressions like "*** + name of the month" with the words one, next, last, this/that, every, all, any.

Abbreviations, like long forms, are always written with a capital letter. The abbreviation ends with a period in American English, or the punctuation mark is omitted if it is a British version of the language.

Before we, dear readers, start talking about the names of the months in English, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the word “month” in the plural has the form “months”, and not “months”. Please remember this! “Months” (with an emphasis on “e”) is a form of the word in the genitive case, answering the questions “who?”, “What?”. It's scary to see how many results Google comes up with when searching for "month of the year" for example.
The theme of all months in English is very entertaining and informative. We will tell you how the calendar appeared, how the 12 months are called in English, be sure to consider how the months are written in English and learn about their abbreviated forms.
History of calendars
The question of what a calendar is does not arise, right? But who came up with it, why there are 365 days in a year, what does the Sun and the Moon have to do with it, how did it happen to divide the year into months ...
Actually, the Romans created their solar calendar based on the lunar Greek. In those days, there were 304 days in a year, divided into 10 months. True, then the first month of the year was not January, but March. Where did the rest of the days come from? One of the rulers of Rome, Numa Pompilius, decided to add 2 more months to reduce discrepancies in time and days. But even then, the lunar phase calendar of 355 days did not coincide with the solar year. And subsequently, to correct this discrepancy, one more month was added every few years - mercedonium. Can you imagine?!
Julius Caesar brought the calendar to a single form, not without the help of astronomers. He then introduced such a thing as a leap year with 366 days.
Of course, after that, the calendar changed and improved more than once, discrepancies in hours and actual dates, moon phases were corrected. And only Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 streamlined the calendar, which we use to this day. We call it Gregorian.
Name of the months in English with transcription
Since the names of the months were formed in antiquity, they were based on the names of Roman gods, emperors, great people, just numbers, holidays. Immediately note that the names of the months, since these are proper names, are capitalized.
In general, the word month - month in English, comes from the word moon - moon, month.
Let's finally analyze the list of months in English and find out where they got such names from:
January–January[‘dʒænju(ə)ri]
- The month is named after the two-faced Roman god of entrances and exits, as well as beginning and end. Initially, the month had 29 days, and then Caesar decided to add 2 more days. And so it turned out the 31st day of January.
February[‘febru(ə)ri]
- This month is named after the Roman holiday of cleansing from sins Februa.
March[mɑ:tʃ]
- The most "strong" month is named after the Roman god of war Mars - Martius, Mars.
April[‘eipr(ə)l]
- The spring month was named so in honor of the Greek goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite - Aphrilis.
May[mei]
- The last month of spring is named after Maya (Maius), the Greek goddess of fertility.
June – June[dʒu:n]
- The wonderful summer day is patronized by the Roman goddess of marriage, and in general the intercessor of women, Juno - Juno.
July[d'u'lai]
- Whose name does the name of the month look like? Of course, Julius Caesar! It was in this month that the great commander, a politician, was born, who decided to immortalize himself in this way. But earlier, July was simply called Quintilis, which meant "fifth".
August – August[ˈɔːɡəst]
- The ancient Roman politician and founder of the Roman Empire, Octavian Augustus (Augustus), who completed the laborious work on correcting the calendar, also decided to leave a memory in the name of one of the months of the year.
September[sep'tembə]
- Previously, this was the name of the seventh month - septem. Remember, yes, that the year began in March?!
October–October[ɔk'təubə]
- This, respectively, is the eighth month - octo. Apparently, the fantasy of the Roman and Greek figures ended J
November[nəu'vembə]
- The ninth month is novem.
December – December[di'sembə]
- And the tenth, the last month in the ancient calendar, is decem.
Months in English with prepositions
There are only two prepositions that are used with months in English. it in and on: in January- in January, in February- in February, etc.
But when talking about past or future, remember that in is released: March this March- this March next Arpil- next April last May- in the past maya.
The difference in these prepositions is that in is attached more to the month itself than to the date. For example: My birthday is in November. – My birthday is in November.
But the preposition on makes an integer with a date, not a month. For example: I will celebrate my birthday on November 13 th . I will celebrate my birthday on November 13th.
As you can see, everything is extremely simple!
Abbreviation of months in English
Why are abbreviations needed and what is difficult about them? Difficult - nothing, but short forms are very much needed. Most of all, probably, for official correspondence.
Just remember that the months in English, even when abbreviated, are capitalized. There is!
Another nuance: the names are reduced to only three letters. That is, Apr, Oct, Nov. June and July can be left unchanged and written in full. So you are using the British version. And if you shorten the names to Jun and Jul, you get the American version. Although September is always abbreviated to four letters - Sept.
As for the dots at the end of the abbreviation, there is a division into British and American versions: put a dot - Amer., do not put - Brit.
Now you know not just how October is written in English, but also how March will be in English and other months of the year. Remember, we hope, the abbreviated names of the months in English, which will be useful for writing business letters.
