🕒 Talking about Dates & Time

When we talk about when things happen, we use specific words. Look at these examples from the text:

  • June 25 → A specific day
  • July 14 → A deadline (the last day)
  • August 20 → An end date

The Pattern: In English, we usually say the Month first, then the Number.
