(Ken Follett, Fall of Giants)It’s 16 March. (3) (Essential Grammar in Use)
How do you read those three parts with numbers?
Answer
Americans would normally pronounce them:
June twenty-second <pause> nineteen eleven
It’s March sixteenth
and Brits would tend to pronounce them:
Twenty-second of June <pause> nineteen eleven.
It’s the sixteenth of March.
In both American and British English "George V", is pronounced:
George the fifth.
