Why ASIAMARINE ?

“The attention to detail is what makes an ASIAMARINE charter such a unique experience.

From the moment that you step on board one of the ASIAMARINE flagship yachts, you know that you are in for a completely different experience.

You’ll be greeted by a professional international crew whose passion is to make your day on board a true holiday experience.

As founder of the company I used to rent so called “luxury” boats and was consistently disappointed with the quality of the boats, the level of service and lack of professionalism. So, I set out to change the face of luxury charter with ASIAMARINE. Have a pleasant experience with us!”

Hong Kong is one of the most vibrant and dynamic cities in the world. Not only does it offer a metropolitan lifestyle and countless skyscrapers, but beautiful landscapes, beaches and places to escape city life. We believe that “the other side” of Hong Kong is best seen on the water from the deck of a beautiful yacht.

Yacht Charter Hong Kong

Yacht Charter in Hong Kong

Sputnik by Numarine - Top rates for a Charter of a private Motor Yacht in Hong Kong

Hong Kong yacht charter

Hong Kong is the perfect blend of East meets West, merging Chinese traditions and culture with Western sentimentality and progress. Here, you can find everything from Buddhist temples to historic fishing villages, skyscrapers, and high rises, to old shophouses and Chinese alleyways. When it comes to a tourist destination that has it all, Hong Kong definitely tops the bill. Yacht charter in Hong Kong is booming, especially in the summer when the temperatures rise, and both locals and tourists get to spend more time outdoors and out in the sun. With plenty of yacht options, the Hong Kong yacht charter is undoubtedly an ideal way to explore and enjoy the city-state.

Why charter a yacht in Hong Kong?

There is an abundance of marinas in Hong Kong, accommodating anything from a 4-person capacity speedboat to a superyacht that can dine a group of 100 guests. When it comes to yacht charters in Hong Kong, you'll never run out of options to choose from. The marinas are located all across Hong Kong, such as the Aberdeen Marina Club, the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, the Discovery Bay Marina, the Hebe Haven Yacht Club, and other small ones, there are enough berths to accommodate hundreds of yachts in this Asian metropolitan city.

Offering everything from intimate monohulls for honeymooners, a super catamaran for a large group of friends, or a huge sailboat for saying enthusiasts, you are sure to find what you're looking for in Hong Kong. And did you know there are about 200 smaller islands off the coast of Hong Kong, having a mix of rocky islets and tropical coves with turquoise blue waters and pristine white sands? Yes, Hong Kong is home to hundreds of hidden beaches and islands that are just waiting to be explored for your day, overnight, weekend, or full-week yacht charter itinerary.

What are yacht charter prices in Hong Kong?

Average yacht charter prices in Hong Kong depend on many factors. These include but are not limited to the yacht's size, the brand of the yacht, the inclusions with your charter, the number of people on board, and the yacht rental duration. Superyachts are popular in Hong Kong, catering to guests with discerning tastes and those who wish to travel and enjoy in style. Some of the superyacht brands you can find here include Monte Carlo yachts, Ferretti, Numarine, Sunseeker, Azimut, and Sanlorenzo yachts, among many others. Yacht charter prices for a day trip in Hong Kong range between USD2000 to $4200 for a group of 15 adults, which includes full catering. Other charters offer per person rates, such as $200 for a full-day cruise aboard a luxury yacht on a weekday, and can go up to $630 for a weekday cruise.

When is the yachting season in Hong Kong?

There are two yacht charter seasons in Hong Kong: the summer and the winter seasons. The peak yacht charter season is the summer season when it's bright and sunny, and families head out to sea to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The high season is between June to October, which is also the most expensive season for yacht charters, while the low season is between March to May. Winter is also an exceptional time to charter a yacht in Hong Kong, especially during the Christmas and Chinese New Year holidays. Festivities abound on the Victoria Harbour, where the skyline lights up and fireworks are on display in many parts of the city.

Hong Kong yacht charter for a day

Hong Kong features many nearby islands that are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, water sport activities, and plenty of sun and sand. For an ideal and convenient way to enjoy your charter, opt for all-inclusive packages where everything is included, such as the food, drinks, and music. A yacht charter for a day in Hong Kong brings you to nearby islands and destinations such as Aberdeen, Causeway Bay, Deep Water Bay, Turtle Cove, and the best seafood in Lamma Island.

You can add extra equipment on board, such as kayaks, stand up paddleboards, a banana boat, or a jet ski to take your day cruise to another level of excitement. Kiddie parties are also popular in Hong Kong, where yachts cruise along the harbor, go to a nearby island, and kids can enjoy a day of fun and frolic on a beach. Sunset cruises, fishing escapades, and party charters are also popular day yacht charter activities in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong yacht charter overnight

Overnight yacht charter comes with full accommodations in luxury cabins, well-equipped kitchens, air conditioned saloons, and plenty of outdoor lounge seating for a full day and night of relaxing, adventure, and VIP treatment. When chartering a yacht overnight from Hong Kong, you can visit plenty of destinations such as Lamma Island, Sai Kung, Cheung Chau Island, and even as far as Macau for some nightlife in the countless casinos in the famous Las Vegas of the East.

Hong Kong yacht charter for a week

And for the ultimate yacht charter adventure, a week-long cruise off the coast of Hong Kong will create an experience of a lifetime. You can leave on a Friday night with a sunset cruise off Victoria Harbor, bearing witness to Disneyland Hong Kong's fireworks display and the city skyline before heading to Discovery Bay where your yacht moors up for the night.

Come morning, get to explore different islands such as Tai O and Cheung Chau, where traditional fishing villages are still very well-preserved; have lunch on the coats of Sai Kung for some exquisite seafood and lush hiking trails, and get to explore all the unspoiled tropical islands with turquoise waters and white sand beaches along the way.

And of course, a Hong Kong yacht charter for a week is never complete without a visit to the Kowloon peninsula and the vibrant and dynamic Macau. Whether you choose to disembark in Macau or get back on board and return to Hong Kong is your choice to make, but one thing's for sure, your week-long Hong Kong travel itinerary will surely be one heck of an adventure.

Wedding yacht charter in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is one of the world's top destinations for weddings. It's got culture, history, and all the modern amenities of a world-class metropolitan. One train ride away, and you're in China ready to visit the temples and the Great Wall of China. At the same time, a one yacht charter away, and you're in Macau in as short as one hour. For a unique wedding extravaganza, a yacht charter that cruises along the Victoria Harbour and Causeway Bay will surely create unforgettable memories with you and your loved ones. Celebrate this day with a sunset ceremony and seated dinner on board for 100 guests, or choose a smaller catamaran for an intimate wedding. However big or small you want your wedding party, you can find the best yacht charters to hold the wedding of your dreams in Hong Kong.

Corporate yacht charter in Hong Kong

You may want to wine and dine your boss, or you may have a VIP executive coming to town, or you want to celebrate an occasion with your employees. Whatever event your company may be having, do it best with a corporate yacht charter in Hong Kong. For a couple of hours or over sunset, you can discuss business and pleasure with your boss, supervisors, or subordinates. If you want to have a team-building activity, a yacht charter to a nearby island is ideal for some exciting activities that will create your company's highlight of the year.

A yacht charter is a luxurious treat for everyone, and it's one of the best ways in Hong Kong to lighten the atmosphere for a business meeting, lunch, or event. Hong Kong is a bustling, dynamic, and complex metropolitan. To get away from it all, locals and tourists can easily find the best yacht charter to suit their tastes and needs.

Jordi Esteve

The French native, with a longstanding passion for boating, arrived in Hong Kong as an automotive engineer in 2005, with a speciality in high-performance metals. Two years later, he launched the Asia Yachting dealership, specialising in new premium motor yachts. Today, as well as working with clientele to achieve their customised performance and design preferences, Olivier also commissions luxury yacht models for the company that feature functional and design elements that he understands suit the needs of owners based in Asia. Along with securing exclusive Hong Kong and Southeast Asia distribution rights for some of the world’s top motor-yacht brands, Olivier also ensures Asia Yachting is a key provider for the region’s pre-owned market. Besides boating, Olivier is also an enthusiast for fine dining and wine.

Vinci excels at delivering on her client’s needs and maintains an extensive knowledge on Asia Yachting’s portfolio. She prides herself on being recognized as a trusted advisor and values the importance of listening to her client’s evolving needs from search to purchase. She has helped clients secure their dream boats from inventories around the world. Vinci graduated from Baptist University in Hong Kong with a bachelor’s degree in commerce. She’s been fascinated with the ocean since a young age and decided to enter the yacht broking industry having explored roles in various start-ups.

Darren is an enthusiastic water sports lover who has a passion for boats and the sea. Being a Hong Kong Pleasure Vessel Operating License Grade 2 holder as well as a Mechanical Engineering degree holder himself, he can always give clients different perspectives when it comes to looking for the right boat for them, whether it is a sport vessel or a luxury leisure yacht. Beside being a wakesurf lover, he is also a wake sport instructor, so he knows what the differences can be made having a good wake boat. Darren grew up in Canada, and as an outdoor adventure enthusiast, he is also a PADI and SSI open water instructor, as well as a snowboarding coach, so when he’s not on the water with a boat, you may find him under the water or shredding deep powder snow in a mountain.

Born in Spain, Jordi is a passionate yacht broker with many years of career experience that is connected with the sea and yacht sales. Always love to be helpful and warm, he has an extended list of clients around the world. Currently based in Phuket, Thailand, Jordi has worked in different countries like Spain and Canary Islands, United Kingdom, Brazil and New Zealand, and with such international background and broad networks, he knows how to mingle with different kind of clientele and find the best match of clients and yachts even if they are across the world.

Cindy has grown up in Shenzhen China. She is a honest, positive and fashionable yacht broker who devotes and feels grateful to be part of the yacht industry. She used to own a trading business with focus on exported goods. She likes sunshine and ocean. It is her favourite way to spend a day on a yacht, having good food, drinks, music, fishing, doing water sports, and lying down on the bow to enjoy sunset. She is pleased to meet successful individuals who always inspire her to learn more, and is aspired to do her best as a professional yacht broker.

Brand new innovative wakesurfing boats. Now available in Hong Kong.

As wakesurfing rises in popularity in Hong Kong, even surpassing wakeboarding – a similar, yet fundamentally different sport – surfing boat manufacturers have taken the opportunity to modify, refine, and upgrade their boat designs. Unlike wakeboarding, wakesurfing requires a particular set of features, such as a different engine placement and hull shape, alongside innovative and advanced equipment to provide an enjoyable, safe, and unforgettable wakesurfing experience.

The main difference between wakesurfing and wakeboarding is that with wakesurfing, you aren’t permanently attached to the boat via a rope. Wakeboarding gained popularity thanks to being an invigorating and fun sport in which you travel at high speeds across the water behind a boat. Wakesurfing is typically a slower – but by no means easier – sport in which you surf in the waves made by the boat’s engines. This provides surfers in Hong Kong with much easier and guaranteed access to surfable waves, provided the boat is designed correctly.

The design of the boat

The design of wakesurfing boats differs from wakeboarding boats in that there is a greater emphasis on your safety. Rather than jutting out of the back of the boat, the propellers are located on the bottom – safely out of reach of anyone in the water.

In addition to this, boats with a convex V-shaped hull ride deeper in the water, creating a bigger and more surfable wave. This is different from boats with flatter hulls that might be better for water skiing, for example.

Depending on the model of the boat, there is ample storage and a luxurious cockpit with plenty of space to move around in. There is also plenty of ballast weight on the boat for extra security without sacrificing any storage space.

Driving a new era of yachts and water sports boats in Hong Kong

Since its establishment, ASIAMARINE has focused on yacht rental, sales, and management. More than 20 years of experience and presence across Hong Kong and Asia, ASIAMARINE is at the forefront of the yachting industry.

In addition to luxury yachts, ASIAMARINE is now introducing new types of wakesurfing boats to provide watersport enthusiasts in Hong Kong with more exciting and safe options to take them into the water.

Luxury Yacht Charters in Hong Kong

By Louise Marsh 19 July 2013

Startling statistics come to light that the average time a Hong Kong-moored luxury yacht spends at sea is just 32 hours a year. The rest of the time, they sit ignored by their wealthy owners.

Until recently, there have been a very limited number of charter yachts available in Hong Kong , with many sitting idle in the harbour when lots of people would love to be out and about on them.

French entrepreneur Eric Noyel spotted a gap in the Hong Kong market for luxury yacht charters when he struggled to find one for a South America n president. “OK, junks are nice, but not what you want for a president,” he says. So, after selling his Asian -based household plastics business, he turned his attention to luxury yachts and founded Riviera Orientale Yachting Society. “I thought it’s time to start doing something I really like.”

Noyel set about building a yacht charter fleet with the goal of offering a choice of yacht sizes with crew and full onboard services, just like those available in the Mediterranean . This would not only fill a gap in the market for clients of top hotels, but also for corporate and private clients.

He currently has 11 yachts available for charter between 45 and 80 foot, with one over 80 feet. “I’ll grow as fast as the market,” he commented, but people do want bigger yachts over 70 feet.

Yacht charters are currently extremely popular with bankers, keen to relax, chat and smoke cigars, and executives, who love to hop aboard and leave their cares behind. The HNWI's are willing to pay anything from HK$60,000 to HK$110,000 per day, for corporate yacht charters , private yacht charters or event yacht charters and weddings. “Below HK$25,000 a day is junk business, that’s a different market,” Eric explains.

The top-selling brands in Hong Kong are Sunseeker , Princess and Azimut / Benetti . These are mostly "good value" yachts but not quite up to the extremely high standards of custom-built superyachts from Heesen and Feadship , owned by the superrich and famous. In the production yacht category, it’s very similar to cars: the Italians have it all. To have serious floating cache in Europe you need a Ferretti , a Riva or a Pershing

Noyel describes charter yachts as ranging from suitable for “heads of state and VVIPs” with high security and “white glove food and beverage solutions” to 40-70 footers, suitable for “island hopping and intimate parties".

For more information on Hong Kong, check out our Hong Kong photo tour or, for information on booking a yacht charter in the area or for itinerary options, get in touch with your yacht charter broker .

Boat enjoyment hasn’t really caught on in China yet, it’s all about owning more than enjoying - Noyel

Iconic yachts: 118 WallyPower

The 118 WallyPower remains as striking today as when it was first launched in August 2003. The futuristic lines are reminiscent of a Stealth bomber, and it’s easy to imagine Darth Vader at the controls, skimming over the waves. This boat still generates discussion, still turns heads, still mesmerises.

Luca Bassani , founder of Wally, is so in love with the 118 WallyPower that once a year he goes out on the tender, switches off the engine and instructs the crew to surge past him at top speed. ‘The motion is not actually the speed; the motion is first of all the shape of the boat and the fact that you don’t hear anything. It’s just this great, beautiful sheet passing by at high speed with the only sound a light whistle.’ He makes a hissing sound between his teeth and laughs. ‘Another thing I like is that from the outside, when the boat is anchored in a bay, you really don’t see it… the sage colour blends and changes with the colour of the coast, the rocks and the green of the water.’

Bassani took the plunge from sailboat to motor yacht design when he noticed a 15 to 20 per cent increase in the open power boat market over ten years. The 118 WallyPower took four years to develop. He had a client in mind but no contract, but this was enough to give him the impetus to move forward without the constraints of working within a client’s needs. The objective was to create a very fast boat perfect for short Mediterranean day cruises and able to maintain high speeds even in rough seas. The solution was a deep V hull which, with the shape of the bow and the use of interceptors, allows the boat to pierce the waves comfortably, even at high speeds. ‘Extensive research and tank testing resulted in a hull design different and better than any other,’ he claims. ‘Like our sailboats, the design is an evolution of all our experience. For us the ride of the hull is the key to our sales.’

The new hull design will be used for all the range, starting with the tender. ‘It is really fantastic. If weather conditions allow, you would rather cruise at 60 knots, but in reasonable conditions, at 40 knots you can do all the missions you have to do.’

After the hull, Bassani is most satisfied with the forward ‘liveable’ cockpit of the 118 WallyPower. ‘When I say liveable I’m talking about quality of life aboard. This foredeck feels as if you are on a sailboat, not a power boat, which I like a lot.’ He is also pleased with the water jet propulsion: ‘The noise is very low – no vibration, fantastic manoeuvrability, no problem with draught. We see only advantages.’ And he believes carbon fibre is essential for cutting through the waves: ‘You need a very rigid, light hull. You don’t use carbon fibre for the bottom of the hull because it would become too brittle, but the structure inside has to be carbon.’

The 118 WallyPower’s gas turbines deliver 17,000hp, and diesel is used for manoeuvring and cruising at night at up to 10 knots. ‘With the two diesels you have a great range – 1,800 miles – while if you went with the gas turbines at 40 to 60 knots the range is 400 to 500 miles, no more.’ This brings up the subject of sustainable power: ‘We are studying a new concept that will substantially improve the sustainability of powerboats,’ says Bassani.

118 WallyPower, a stealthy superyacht for billionaire owners..

The 118 WallyPower is a 36 m superyacht built by the famous Wally shipyard in the 2000s. With its futuristic military inspired look and its 3 large gas turbines, she was a UFO when she was launched.

A futuristic construction

The 118 WallyPower is the largest motor yacht produced by the famous Monegasque shipyard Wally Yachts . It was built in the early 2000's according to the drawings of Luca Bassani for a client who wanted a motor yacht inspired by the 27 m sloop built by the shipyard and with the Argentinean naval architect Frers, called Tiketitan.

Luca Bassani Antivari, founder of Wally and an accomplished former sailor is passionate about sailing. But through this project of a 36 m superyacht, he will launch the Wallytender, then the 118 WallyPower.

Its angular lines associated with the glass superstructure are reminiscent of a stealth ship. The result is a sense of power and speed . In fact, Wally's founder describes it as ".. a stealth bomber with a sailboat bow, Formula One-style air intakes and a stripped-down Asian-inspired interior design."

An exceptional motorization

The engines - i.e. 3 gas turbines of 5?600 CH each - develop a total of 16?800 CH (12?500 kW). They power a Rolls-Royce Kamewa jet-type transmission consisting of 2 steerable side jets and a fixed central jet. Two 370 HP (280 kW) Cummins diesel engines can take over from the turbines. In the first configuration, the 118 WallyPower will reach more than 60 knots (110 km/h), but only 9 knots in the second version, which will be preferred for long distance manoeuvres.

State-of-the-art construction

The hull of the 118 WallyPower is the result of an extensive research and development program that included tests in the hull tank in Gothenburg, Sweden and in the wind tunnel at Ferrari in Maranello, Italy . Stability at high speed is guaranteed by a deep V-shaped hull (22° degrees) and a wave piercing straight bow. The air intakes of the gas turbines have been optimized to minimize vibration and exhaust backflow on deck and into the hull. The hull conceals a tender garage.

The bottom of the hull is constructed of monolithic fibreglass. The dead works with a hybrid of balsa sandwich and fiberglass/carbon. The deck is made of Nomex (Kevlar honeycomb)/carbon. The superstructure of the deck is made of a carbon frame on which glass panels are glued. Inside, part of the interior layout is made of carbon to reduce weight. The dark green metallic paint changes with the reflections of the changing lights and landscape. On the deck, in the cockpit, the bulwarks tilt to enjoy an incredible view of the sea from the saloon but also to take advantage of the large outside space.

A luxurious and uncluttered layout

Inside, on the main deck, the open space offers 3 distinct areas, from bow to stern: the helm station, the raised dining/meeting area and the large saloon below, which opens onto the outside without a break in continuity, introducing the concept of the inside-outside living area. A 360° view is available from the dining area thanks to the raised floor. Under the dining table - which seats 8 people - long rectangular glazing brings light to the lower floor. This keeps the dining area at the front away from the heat of the engines. The boat also has 6 plasma screen televisions.

Below deck, the owner's cabin is located forward and has a deck porthole for light. There is a large double bed, a private bathroom and a large dressing room. Two guest cabins have a queen-size bed, a dressing room and a bathroom.

The kitchen (with the pantry) includes an oven, stove, television and several refrigerators.

A millionaire's boat

The price of the 118 Wallypower is $33 million for the triple gas turbine version, or $22 million for the dual diesel engines. Its range is 1800 miles at 9 knots or 300 miles at 60 knots. Finally, its fuel tank has a capacity of 22 tons.

At the maximum speed of 60 knots, the gas turbine uses 58 litres of fuel per mile, or 3?500 litres per hour. For example, to travel from Cannes to Saint-Tropez and back at 50 knots, it takes 90 minutes for 6?000 to get from Cannes to Saint-Tropez and back, using dépensé?! The WallyPower 118 weighs 95 tons and can accommodate 6 crew members and 6 guests on board.

Prestigious awards

The 118 WallyPower won the MYDA, Millennium Yacht Design Award, organised by Seatec (the Carrarafiere sailing and navigation technology trade fair) for "Design for the third millennium". It was the only boat in the architecture and design exhibition of the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco in 2004/2005), for the exhibition "Glamour : Fabricating Affluence".

World’s coolest boats: Wallypower 118 looks like Darth Vader’s superyacht

Superyachts
Top stories

Each month we pick out an iconic boat that can lay claim to the title of world’s coolest boat. This month, we take a closer look at the 118 Wallypower.

Michael Bay’s 2005 sci-fi thriller movie The Island was about a group of people isolated in a compound, they’re told, due to nuclear fallout.

As the film progresses, we learn that these people are in fact clones of wealthy individuals, created for organ-harvesting should it ever be needed.

Because they are clones, they experience dreams based on lives they have not lived. One of them is a clone of a famous yacht designer, and so his dreams are of superyachts .

The studio needed the most dramatic, the most outstanding, the most iconic superyacht on the water to illustrate this, and so, of course, they chose the Wallypower 118.

Wallypower 118

By Dennis Caprio
Updated: October 4, 2007

If Wallygator , the first of Luca Bassani’s brainchildren, was a breath of fresh air when it appeared on the sailing scene in the waning years of the last century, the Wallypower 118 motoryacht is a full gale. On the outside, she combines elements of Marcello Gandini’s masterpiece Lamborghini Countach of the middle 1980s and the U.S. Air Force Stealth Fighter. On the inside, she reinforces Bassani’s predilection for simple, open spaces defined by areas of use, instead of bulkheads. Bassani, il padrone of Wally Yachts, didn’t design the 118, but his signature is all over it.

Like the Countach and the Stealth Fighter, this 118-foot speedster is a riot of hard edges, straight lines and serious functionality. Her extraordinary elegance and simplicity suggest a child of 10 could have produced her topsides and house, but these elements are the work of modern artists set free from the shackles of traditional thinking about how boats should look.

As far as I can tell from the drawings, only one of the design elements above the waterline exists purely for its own sake. Everything else serves a purpose. The sheerline in profile is reversed, higher amidships than at either end. This is typical of high-performance boats and had its origin in an attempt to make the topsides aerodynamic. The Wally’s recessed deck kills that theory, so we have to regard the reverse sheer as a styling exercise that places the 118 in the high-performance category.

We could easily dismiss the prominent side pods as a gimmick, mostly because we’re so used to seeing fake scoops and vents on modern automobiles and boats. These, however, are real. They draw, via the forward opening, mega-volumes of fresh air to the gas turbine engines, and they house the exhaust system. The top section of each pod (above deck height) hinges outboard to become a teak-paved boarding platform served by a ladder/gangplank that appears to slide out of the pod.

As a styling device, the side pods, combined with the rise of the chine from amidships forward, carve the massive topsides area into manageable sections, letting us process her statement at our leisure instead of forcing us to absorb the whole in one glance. The design team’s confidence in the 118’s dramatic statement is illustrated by the choice of color. The designers rendered her in titanium gray on the topsides and charcoal gray for the house, proudly showing exactly how this sculpture defines itself in shadows and highlights. She may be the only large powerboat in the hyper-performance class that doesn’t need “oh boy” murals on her topsides.

Flat planes at various angles to one another form a deckhouse that reminds me of the Stealth Fighter. Claudio Lazzarini, of the Lazzarini & Pickering design firm, calls it a crystal prism. The entire structure is made of flat transparent panels-flat to permit the use of power-operated doors and windows, and to prevent the distorted view that often comes with transparent curvatures. This crystal prism, the designers said, creates in the saloon the relaxed atmosphere of a cockpit. Tinting the structure filters ultraviolet rays, keeps the interior from being too bright and too hot, and contributes to the yacht’s purposeful look. Decks of natural-finish teak color-a touch of the early 20th century on an otherwise futuristic concept-ease the extreme tension generated by her sharp edges and no-nonsense demeanor.

Teak planes, vertical and horizontal, inside the crystal prism divide the area into a landscape of functions, or islands in a sea of teak. Right abaft the helm, a sliding teak table seats 14 adults in a formal or a casual setting. Among the many islands, one contains a single seat for reading or working at a computer housed in a nearby cabinet. Beneath this chair is a small, drawer-style refrigerator most people would stock with mineral water, soft drinks and beer. Another island lets you stretch out to watch the TV perched atop an end table, which also contains a stereo.

“The navigation area,” Carl Pickering said, “is more similar to a flight deck than its usual nautical equivalent and can be used as an office or dining area, thanks to sliding tables.”

Lazzarini & Pickering continue the system of teak planes belowdecks to create the corridors and staterooms, though details about the area weren’t available. Outside, the teak theme appears in the after cockpit and a playpen on the foredeck. Here, we find picnic tables that retract flush with the deck, forming a sunbathing area.

The 118’s hull is narrow monohull with training wheels. It has its roots in high-speed naval craft and, as far as I can determine from the renderings, marries an extremely fine entry to an inverted W-shape planing surface. The design team volunteered only that the bow sections reduce vertical accelerations by 50 percent. This means a relatively smooth ride in a seaway. Her fine entry will split the waves, but the bow sections will gain buoyancy as the high chines dig into the water. By this time, most of the energy will have dissipated, so the crew won’t get slammed into the cabin sole. If I were drawing this bottom, I’d make the chine area a tunnel of something close to a semicircle. Ridding the bottom of flat surfaces reduces pounding. On the other hand, a flat surface at the planing area, which won’t leave the water, creates lift, so let’s look for a delta-shape flat way back aft.

Wally expects a top speed of 70 knots from the 118’s four engines-a pair of gas turbines and two diesel auxiliaries-turning two KaMeWa waterjets. I call the diesels auxiliaries because the helmsman will use them for low-speed maneuvering, turbines disengaged, and cruising at very low speeds. Each turbine/diesel duet couples to a clutched transfer box, which permits running one or both engines each side. This, too, is common on military craft.

If my assumptions about the bottom are skewed, I’ll be the first to admit it, but we’ll have to wait until hull number one splashes or I see her under construction. I do know the shape benefits from extensive tank testing.

Wally expects to launch hulls one and two during 2002. Right now, though, I think the Wallypower 118 is the most significant design of the past 14 years, the period I’ve devoted to studying how boats work and why. Like all brilliant works of art, functional or decorative, the 118 defies a simple interpretation. Her statement is far too powerful to permit any observer to settle on a middle ground. They’ll love her or hate her.

Let me be the first to say, “I love this design.”

Motor Yacht

Luxury motor yacht Wallypower 118 was built in 2002 by Italian shipyard Rodriquez Intermarine. With a composite hull and superstructure, she features naval architecture by Wally and Intermarine, and exterior and interior design by Lazzarini Pickering and Wally. This three waterjet and twin screw propulsion yacht measures 36 metres and can accommodate up to six guests cruising and sleeping.

Motor yacht Wallypower 118 is easily one of the most distinctive vessels on the water with her unique and striking exterior design. Capable of reaching high cruising speeds, her design was the result of extensive development and research that included exhausting testing. She has a steeply angled V-shaped and a stand-out deckhouse that crowns the super yacht.

Her hull colour can be likened to that of a chameleon; it’s dark green tone changes with alterations in the outside landscape and light. Her glass-sided deckhouse hides a generous saloon aft dressed in white and wood that creates somewhat of a beach house feel. Here also lies a dining table for 14, relaxing nooks and entertainment areas.

Her interior is of minimalist design, and instead of showy extras, the majority of her features serve a purpose; towards weight minimisation, speed enhancement or must-have comfort. However she also boasts her share of soft furnishings that give the interior a look not far from a New York style loft.

Amongst her three cabins are an indulgent owner’s stateroom, and two Queen-size guest cabins. The owner’s stateroom features an en suite with his and hers shower and large tub, while each guest cabin also features an en suite. The crew’s quarters on the lower deck includes three lower cabins that sleep six and include en suite facilities.

Luxury yacht Wallypower 118 is powered by three DDC TF50 gas Turbines and two Cummins 370 horsepower engines; a combination quite common on smaller warships but not so on super yachts. She can achieve a range of 380 nautical miles while cruising at a speed of 60 knots or 1,500 nautical miles at nine knots.

Featuring a dedicated crew, Wallypower 118 is an excellent charter yacht for luxury vacations. The yacht cruises comfortably at 60 knots while her crew of six ensure the needs of every guest are met. The luxury vessel has been built to R.I.N.A classification.

“You look around the market today and I would say that 95 per cent of yachts from 40 to 140 feet have copied Genie of the Lamp. That kind of layout, that kind of style and deck, it’s clear. I don’t think it’s too much to say that Genie has influenced the last 20 years.” - "Today, everyone has ‘invented’ the vertical bow. We didn’t invent it, it was invented in the 19th century, even before that, but when we introduced it in 2003, everyone was against it. Even the naval architects, they were saying, ‘no, this boat will have big problems’. And now everyone understands that there are a lot of advantages in having a vertical bow. And everyone is claiming they invented it!” - Luca Bassani, founder and president of Wally

The 118 WallyPower is one of the most eye-catching yachts in today’s luxury boating market, created by the Monaco-based Wally Yachts. It is narrow and angular in design with black glass housing.

It is 118 feet long and is capable of reaching speeds as fast as 60 knots (70 mph, 110 km/h).

It is capable of this feat due to three Vericor TF50 gas turbines generating 16,800 hp. The three gas turbines each drive a Rolls-Royce Kamewa water jet, two steerable outboard and a non-steering booster on centerline. The steerable water jets also have a diesel engine input for a 370 hp Cummins diesel hence these two wing drive trains are Combined Diesel and Gas Turbine (CODOG).

Wally Yachts did extensive testing in the SSPA facility in Gothenburg, Sweden and at Ferrari’s windtunnel in Italy.

The 118 WallyPower is superbly crafted of exotic materials in and out, with thin wood veneers over honeycomb cores and lots of exposed black carbon fiber.

The 118 WallyPower won the MYDA, Millennium Yacht Design Award, organised by Seatec (the yachting and shipping technology show of Carrarafiere) for the “Layout of the Third Millennium.”

The WallyPower is also being honoured by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art as the sole boat in its major architecture and design exhibition, ‘Glamour: Fabricating Affluence’, which ran from October 9 2004 to January 16 2005.

Wally Yachts has only produced one, and it currently resides in the Mediterranean. The 118 is known by most from its role as the “Renovatio” in the 2005 science-fiction film The Island.

Price? $24 million- and the Wally owner should budget, say, $400,000 a year for a professional crew. Wally is awaiting a firm order before building the next 118.

The company might have to wait a while. “I don’t think it’s a marketable product,” says Roger Marshall, a yacht designer and boating writer.

“It’s a high-speed boat that is way overpowered and expensive as hell to run, so the market consists of very few people.”

VERICOR NEWS

Vericor power systems’ tf50 gas turbines to power wallypower 118 high-speed yachts.

Three Vericor Power Systems' TFT50 marine aeroderivative gas turbines have been selected to power the 118 Wallypower high-speed yacht being built by Intermarine Shipyard, Sarzana, Italy for Wally Yacht.

This is Wally Yacht's first foray into high-speed power yachts, and the company's initial application of gas turbines. Wally Yacht, based in Monte Carlo, Monaco, is a world-renowned designer of high-speed sailing and power yachts.

The 118-foot yacht will feature three TF50 gas turbines in a Combined Diesel Or Gas (CODOG) turbine configuration. Two TF50s will be used as side or "wing" engines, with one small auxiliary diesel engine connected to each wing engine. The diesels will provide for very slow maneuvering only. The wing engines will drive steerable waterjets while the center boost TF50 will drive a fixed waterjet. Total propulsion system output will be 16,800 horsepower/ 12,533 kilowatts (see attached line drawing of the propulsion system configuration).

Cruising speed will be 60 knots, with a maximum speed of 70 knots. Table 1 shows the technical specifications for the 118 Wallypower yacht.

Detroit Diesel Corporation (DDC) packaged the CODOG system for the 118 Wallypower yacht. DDC, a Vericor Power Systems marine systems distributor, is part of MTU-Friedrichshafen, a division of DaimlerChrysler Powersystems. DaimlerChrysler is one of the world's leading manufacturers of marine propulsion engines and systems.

The integrated system includes three TF50 gas turbines, controls, Maag gears, as well as fuel, lube, cooling and exhaust components. Table 2 illustrates the commercial marine specifications for the TF50 gas turbine.

A team comprised of Vericor Power Systems and DDC field service engineers will install and conduct sea trials for the high-speed yacht. Installation of the CODOG system on the Wally Yacht is scheduled for March 2002. Sea trials are to follow in April/ May 2002.

Yacht Experience Other commercial applications of Vericor's TF engines include the high-speed yacht Detroit Eagle. The vessel uses a TF50 aeroderivative marine gas turbine, marking the first such engine to begin operation. The megayacht, which can reach a comfortable cruising speed of approximately 35 knots, completed sea trials in the spring of 2001 and is now in operation.

The yacht was built at the Feadship de Vries shipyard in The Netherlands. This is the second Feadship yacht fitted with TF gas turbines. The 161-foot Sussurro yacht launched in 1998 features a TF80 (2xTF40) gas turbine system.

The "Mangusta" series yachts, being built by Overmarine Shipyard, in Viareggio, Italy, use TF40 and TF50 gas turbines. Five yachts use a total of five TF40 and two TF50 gas turbines in a variety of configurations. Four Mangusta yachts are now in full operation, with the fifth yacht in the series under construction.

The TF engines for all of the above applications were provided by Vericor Power Systems.

Wallypower 118 - the coolest luxury yacht in the world

The Wallypower 118 is a luxury yacht that gained widespread attention after it was featured in the 2005 science-fiction thriller movie "The Island." The yacht was designed and built by the Italian yacht manufacturer Wally Yachts and was launched in 2006. It is an ultra-modern and luxurious vessel that is designed to combine speed, style, and comfort.

In the movie "The Island," the Wallypower 118 is the personal yacht of the main antagonist, Dr. Merrick, played by Sean Bean . The yacht is depicted as an impressive vessel, sleek and stylish with a futuristic design that is fitting for the movie's sci-fi theme.

It measures 118 feet in length, thus the name, with a beam of 26 feet, and a draft of 5 feet. It can accommodate up to ten guests in five staterooms, and it has a crew of six. The yacht is powered by three gas turbines that generate a total of 16,800 horsepower, allowing it to reach a top speed of 60 knots, or about 70 miles per hour, making it one of the fastest yachts on the open seas .

It's exterior design is striking and unique, with sleek lines and a minimalist style. The superstructure is made of carbon fiber, which makes the yacht lightweight and adds to its impressive speed. It's innovative propulsion system includes water jets instead of traditional propellers , which further contribute to its speed and maneuverability.

The interior is equally impressive , with a contemporary minimalist design, much like the outside. The main salon features floor-to-ceiling windows that offer stunning views of the surrounding water. The yacht's state-of-the-art entertainment system includes a plasma screen TV, satellite TV, and a surround-sound system. The master suite is located on the main deck and features a king-size bed, an en-suite bathroom, and a private balcony. The guest cabins are located on the lower deck and offer similar amenities and luxurious finishes.

It has become an icon in the world of yachting, renowned for its futuristic design and advanced technology. In "The Island," the Wallypower 118 is portrayed as the ultimate symbol of power and luxury , a fitting representation of the antagonist's character.

In conclusion, this is a remarkable yacht that has captured the imagination of people worldwide. Its characteristics have made it a standout vessel in the yachting world, and its appearance in a hollywood production has only added to its mystique.

The price of the 118 Wallypower is US$33 million for the triple gas turbine version , or $22 million for twin diesels. It has a range of 1,500 nautical miles (2,800 km) at 9 knots (17 km/h), or 300 nautical miles (560 km) at 60 knots (110 km/h). Fuel capacity is 22,000 liters (5800 US gallons). At the maximum speed of 60 knots (110 km/h) the gas turbine uses 15 US gallons / 58 liters of fuel per nautical mile, 900 gallons / 3500 liters per hour . The boat displaces only 95 tons because of the sophisticated building technology that uses a hybrid structure to save weight, and can accommodate six guests and six crew.

It is worth noting that the final cost of a Wallypower 118 can be significantly higher than the base price due to the customization options available. Owners of the yacht can choose from a range of options such as interior finishes, materials, and technology upgrades, all of which can add to the cost of the yacht.

118 WallyPower Yacht… The Majesty of the See

The 118 WallyPower yacht is, to put it in the briefest terms, an undisputed masterpiece. Christened the “Galeocerdo”, it has grabbed the eye of all who see its dark visage, and though its appearance alone is, to say the very least, impressive, the finer details are just as incredible. You could scour the excellent yacht harbours of Monaco or Abu Dhabi, glimpse all their seafaring wonders and yet fail to spot something that carries the same honed, dramatic presence. Beneath the exterior lies three gas turbines. These turbines pump out a gargantuan 5,600 bhp, and each drives a Rolls Royce KaMeWa Waterjet. A 370 bhp diesel engine aids the two jets that help steer the vast craft. Overall, the 118 WallyPower rockets across the waves with a combined output of 16,800 bhp. Such colossal power bolts the yacht to a top speed of 60 knots or 70 mph. Such speed is hardly reached even for far smaller boats.

And it can keep up such a speed for a range of 300 nautical miles. However, its power source isn’t totally thanks, as the sharp knife body shape, with smoke testing conducted at Ferrari’s wind tunnel in Maranello, helps cut through the waves like scissors through the cloth.

Beyond its mechanical prowess lies the most exquisite interior, where the focus on performance can still be visible. Inside the cabin are carbon fibre window frames, and the whole deck’s superstructure is a carbon frame in the 118 WallyPower’s pursuit of lightness. Even the bath fixtures and the dining tables are made from the carbon in the drive to keep the weight low. Such advanced and clever building ideas allow the boat only to weigh 95 tons.

This less is more approach cannot only be seen in its engineering but also in its cabin style. The dining area, deck, navigation and cockpit are all continuous elements, creating an open space that suits the 118 WallyPower’s breezy nature. Comparisons can easily be drawn to that of a swanky, new-age metropolitan apartment or even the understated flamboyance of a spy villain’s lair! The deck’s appearance has a sense of practicality too. Two of the dining tables can be mechanically lowered to offer more room, and the dining and lounge area is placed away from the heat of the engines.

Head deeper inside this gloriously suave vessel, and you’ll find six televisions at your leisure and a small, stainless steel kitchen that wouldn’t look too out of place on the set of science fiction films. Coincidently, the 118 WallyPower did indeed gets its moment in the spotlight by appearing in the 2005 thriller “The Island”.

Three bedrooms can be found below the deck. The owner’s stateroom acts as the largest, bearing the comfort of a king-size bed and a pair of en suites, complete with a skylight. A couple of guest rooms are also available, each with a queen-size bed and an en suite. Putting into detail how a yacht perfectly capable of housing six people in refined, palatial splendour truly puts into perspective the technological brilliance in achieving such a low weight and high speed.

In such a vast world of water, it seems a shame to have such a masterpiece be so rare to find. That being said, perhaps it only fits and remains one of a kind. Currently, the 118 WallyPower is one of a kind and owned by the Kondakji family. That exclusivity level can reinforce its place as an icon on the waves and a marvellous representative of pushing the boundaries of yacht design. Some day there will be faster and more luxurious power yachts than the 118 WallyPower, but they will never make anyone forget their mesmerising presence.

WALLYPOWER 118

WallyPower 118 is the fastest motor yacht on water. Three gas turbines generating 16,800 HP power allows the 118 WallyPower to cruise a leisurely 60 knots in flat seas and tackle rough waters with ease. The yacht is narrow and angular in design, driven by three Vericor TF50 gas turbines generating 5,600 horsepower (each driving a Rolls-Royce Kamewa water jet), two steerable outboard and a non-steering booster on the centerline. The steerable water jets also have a diesel engine input for a 370 hp, thus making the ship a Combined Diesel or Gas Turbine configured vessel. If the gas turbine engines are all out, the 118 WallyPower uses 14 gallons for every mile at 60 knots. At this rate it uses 951 gallons an hour.

The hull of the 118 WallyPower is the result of an extensive R&D program including tank testing at the SSPA facility in Gothenburg, Sweden, and smoke testing in the Ferrari Wind Tunnel Facility in Maranello, Italy. It is stable at speed thanks to the deep V (22 degrees) hull shape and a straight stem bow designed to pierce waves.

The 118's deck, cockpit, navigation, dining and saloon areas have been designed as one continuous element. The open space incorporates three areas, from stern to bow: the saloon, the dining/seating area, and the navigation cockpit. There is a 360-degree view from the dining area. The deck of the Wally 118 has a hidden crane and compartment for a tender.

This primarily wood model of the WallyPower 119 features detailed Rolls-Royce Kamewa water jet, with two steerable outboard and a non-steering booster on the centerline. Only the owners of our models can see them, as we do not want to reveal that to copycat builders.

Strange Glow Over Moscow Skies Triggers Panic as Explosions Reported

B right flashes lit up the night sky in southern Moscow in the early hours of Thursday morning, new footage appears to show, following reports of an explosion at an electrical substation on the outskirts of the city.

Video snippets circulating on Russian-language Telegram channels show a series of flashes on the horizon of a cloudy night sky, momentarily turning the sky a number of different colors. In a clip shared by Russian outlet MSK1.ru, smoke can be seen rising from a building during the flashes lighting up the scene.

Newsweek was unable to independently verify the details of the video clips, including when and where it was filmed. The Russian Ministry of Emergency situations has been contacted via email.

Several Russian Telegram accounts said early on Thursday that residents of southern Moscow reported an explosion and a fire breaking out at an electrical substation in the Leninsky district, southeast of central Moscow.

Local authorities in the Leninsky district told Russian outlet RBC that the explosion had happened in the village of Molokovo. "All vital facilities are operating as normal," Leninsky district officials told the outlet.

The incident at the substation in Molokovo took place just before 2 a.m. local time, MSK1.ru reported.

Messages published by the ASTRA Telegram account, run by independent Russian journalists, appear to show residents close to the substation panicking as they question the bright flashes in the sky. One local resident describes seeing the bright light before losing access to electricity, with another calling the incident a "nightmare."

More than 10 villages and towns in the southeast of Moscow lost access to electricity, the ASTRA Telegram account also reported. The town of Lytkarino to the southeast of Moscow, lost electricity, wrote the eastern European-based independent outlet, Meduza.

Outages were reported in the southern Domodedovo area of the city, according to another Russian outlet, as well as power failures in western Moscow. Electricity was then restored to the areas, the Strana.ua outlet reported.

The cause of the reported explosion is not known. A Telegram account aggregating news for the Lytkarino area described the incident as "an ordinary accident at a substation."

The MSK1.ru outlet quoted a local resident who speculated that a drone may have been responsible for the explosion, but no other Russian source reported this as a possible cause.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Moscow with long-range aerial drones in recent months, including a dramatic wave of strikes in late May.

On Sunday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the region's air defense systems had intercepted an aerial drone over the city of Elektrostal, to the east of Moscow. No damage or casualties were reported, he said.

The previous day, Russian air defenses detected and shot down another drone flying over the Bogorodsky district, northeast of central Moscow, Sobyanin said.

There is currently no evidence that an aerial drone was responsible for the reported overnight explosion at the electrical substation in southern Moscow.

How to Write the Date in an Essay

3-minute read

4th February 2016

You probably see the date written down (or displayed on a screen) dozens of times every day. You might even have to write it out yourself if you’re booking an appointment or organising your schedule.

Despite this, most of us give very little thought to how we write the date. In academic writing and other formal contexts , however, it’s important to use a clear and consistent format.

Different Formats

The most important thing to remember when writing the date is that, in the UK and throughout most of the world, we favour a day-month-year format (otherwise known as the little-endian sequence ). This can be presented in numerous ways, including:

Day + Month (e.g. 21 April)
Day + Month + Year (e.g., 21 April 2016)
Numbers Only (e.g. 21/04/2016)

There are also variations to how these can be presented, such as using an ordinal suffix after the day. These are the letters we’d use if we were writing the number out in full and are often written with a superscript font:

We last spoke on the 21st of April.

The meetings will be held on the 2 nd of February and the 13 th June.

Sometimes, the month in the date can be shortened to save space:

14 January 2012 → 14 Jan. 2012

9 October → 9 Oct.

However, generally in formal writing it’s better to use the longer format for clarity. Likewise, when including a date in an essay you should usually write it out (e.g. 21 April 2016) rather than use the numbers-only style.

Check Your Style Guide and Be Consistent

Since there are various ways of writing the date, you should always check your university’s style guide to see if a preferred format is specified. If it doesn’t offer any particular advice, simply pick a clear format that suits you and make sure to use it consistently for all dates in your essay.

UK vs. American Dates

The other thing to keep in mind when writing (and reading) dates is how the US date format differs from ours. In America, dates use a month-day-year format, which can lead to problems when they are written out in numbers only as days and months get confused.

The US date format also places a comma between the day and year when both are numbers, as well as omitting superscript letters. The only time you would use superscript letters after the day in the US date format is when writing it out in full as, e.g., the 10 th of September.

You can see a few examples of UK and US dates below:

As you can see, the date ‘07/04/2016’ represents the 7th of April 2016 in the UK, but the same numbers indicate the 4th of July in America! Take care about which format you use when writing for international audiences.

The International Date Format

Finally, if you’re sharing information across the world, you may want to use the international date format (ISO 8601) . This is a standardized format that works across borders, so it is commonly used by government organizations and global businesses. And it always uses the format YYYY-MM-DD, which removes any chance of confusion:

We sent the invoice on 2020-07-10 .

The date above, for example, denotes the 10th of July 2020.

How to write dates correctly.

23rd October 2014

There are many different ways to write dates, so knowing which one to use in your work can be difficult. At a basic level, you need to get the format and information correct. But you also need to consider whether the style in which you’ve written the date is appropriate for your document.

Read on, then, for our guide on how to write dates correctly.

Writing Out the Date

In very formal writing, it’s often best to write out the date in full. The most formal version of this may include using an ordinal signifier (‘th’, ‘rd’ or ‘st’) after the date, like this:

The meeting is on the 23 rd of October 2016.

However, in most cases, you can just give a date, month and year:

The meeting is on 23 October 2016.

You would still pronounce this as ‘the 23 rd of October’ in speech, but in writing you can simplify this to make it easier to read.

Moreover, in some situations, you may want to include the day of the week in the date, especially if it has specific connotations (e.g. Friday the 13 th ).

Shorter Form Dates

In less formal writing, a shorter date format can be used. This typically uses only numbers separated by full stops or slashes, with no need to write out the name of the month. Shortening the year is also acceptable as long as it will be clear which year you mean, such as in the following:

You can also write out the date but shorten the month to save space:

14 January 2016 → 14 Jan 2016
9 October → 9 Oct

Although these options are easy to understand and perfectly acceptable in most writing, they are not typically correct in an academic context.

Australian vs. American Dates

Another thing to keep in mind is that the date format is different in different places. In Australia , we use a day, month, year format, as shown above.

In America, the month comes first. As such, we can reformat some of the examples above to compare how they’d appear in Australia and America:

As you can see above, we’ve used a comma in the US dates to separate the day and the year, both of which are numbers.

The fact that the day and month are swapped around can lead to confusion, especially if written in number form, so do be aware of this!

Finally, if you’re sharing information across the world, you may want to use the international date format (ISO 8601) . This is a standardised format that works across borders, so it is commonly used by government organizations and global businesses. And it always uses the format YYYY-MM-DD, which removes any chance of confusion:

How to Write the Date in Academic Writing

There is no single ‘correct’ way to write the date in an essay, but it’s usually better to use a formal approach. Check your university style guide and see what it recommends. If it doesn’t specify a format, pick one you feel is appropriate and use it consistently throughout your document.

How to Write Dates

To write the exact date, spell out the month, and write the day and the year in numerals. The American date format is month-day-year, with a comma between day and year ( May 1, 2022) , while the British format is day-month-year, with no comma between month and year ( 1 May 2022 ). Don’t use ordinal numbers in dates in formal texts ( May 1 st , 2022 ). You may also show the day of the week ( Sunday, May 1, 2022 ).

If only the month and year are shown, don’t insert a comma between the two ( May 2022 ). To specify the day alone, write it as an ordinal number ( We arrive on the first ).

Graphic titled "How to Write Dates." The left panel shows an illustration of two people marking the date on a gigantic calendar. The right panel lists the following rules and examples. Spell out the month. Use numerals for day and year (“American: December 16, 2021”; “British: 16 December 2021”). Don’t place a comma between month and year (“Poor: We met in December, 2021”; “Better: We met in December 2021”). Write the day as an ordinal when it stands alone (“They left on the sixteenth [or 16th]”).

Date: Month, day, and year

The American date format is month-day-year. In running text, spell out the month, and write the day and year in numerals. Use commas to separate day and year. Don’t use ordinals ( st , nd , rd , th ).

The Declaration of Independence was issued on July 4, 1776 .
They were married on October 25, 2019, on a beach in the Maldives.
On January 20, 2021, Joe Biden became president of the United States.

To set off the year, use commas in pairs: a comma must appear not just before but also after the year.

Incorrect: It was on August 14, 1945 that an armistice was finally declared. Correct: It was on August 14, 1945, that an armistice was finally declared.

The British date format is day-month-year. The day and year are written in numerals, and the month is spelled out. No comma is needed between month and year. This system is also followed in much of Europe and the rest of the world.

On 15 August 1947 , India gained independence from Britain.
The Channel Tunnel opened on 6 May 1992 , linking London and Paris by rail.
The UK left the EU on 31 January 2020 .

Date: Month and year

When only month and year are specified, the month appears before the year. No comma is needed between the two.

Twitter was founded in March 2006 and launched later that year.
In January 2020 , reports of a new respiratory virus emerged from China.
Farley first lost the lottery in November 1997 .

The preposition “of” between month and year is unnecessary and omitted in formal writing.

This report was originally published in May of 2015 .

Date: Day and month

When it is clear which year is being referred to, you may indicate only day and month. Spell out the month, and write the day in numerals. Remember that day follows month in American usage. Don’t use ordinal numbers ( st , nd , rd , th ).

Her birthday is November 23 .
The last day to submit your applications is February 10 .
On May 11 this year, our astronauts landed on Venus.

In British and other European writing, the day appears before the month.

My daughter was born on 23 November last year.
The deadline is 10 February .
On 11 May this year, our astronauts landed on Mars.

The use of ordinal numbers ( st , nd , rd , th ) in dates is unnecessary. Avoid it in formal writing.

Poor: The Durandians landed on July 19th at 3 p.m. Better: The Durandians landed on July 19 at 3 p.m.

In creative and other informal writing, the day and the month are often shown in words.

They were married on the nineteenth of September last year.

Date: The day alone

When only the day is mentioned, spell out single-digit numbers. Two-digit days may be either spelled out or written in numerals. Use ordinal numbers ( st , nd , rd , th ).

We woke up early on the morning of the fifth .
We’ll reach on the sixteenth ( or the 16th ).

Style guides differ in their recommendations on whether to write numbers in numerals or words. Numbers under 10 are generally spelled out. The Chicago Manual of Style recommends spelling out two-digit numbers as well, while the AP Stylebook and APA Publication Manual suggest using figures for numbers from 10 onward.

When using figures, don’t set the ordinal in superscript (16th, not 16 th ).

Date with day of the week

To show a day of the week alongside a date, write the day followed by a comma, and then write the date. This can be helpful in appointments and invitations.

American: The apocalypse was expected to happen on Saturday, May 21, 2011 .
British: The conference starts on Monday, 8 August 2022 .

The date in numerals

Dates may be written in all numerals . A numeric date format is used when the date is standalone—for example, in a signature. The U.S. date format is month-day-year, while the day-month-year format is followed by the UK and other nations. Slashes or hyphens are used to separate the parts of the date.

American : Signed 5-11-21 for May 11, 2021 British: Signed 11-5-21 for 11 May 2021
American: Dated 11/5/2021 for November 5, 2021 British: Dated 5/11/2021 for 5 November 2021

All-numeric dates are also written in the YYYY-MM-DD format, as specified by the ISO . This internationally agreed way to show dates is common in government, corporate, and other official usage. One of the benefits of this system is that it makes for easier sorting and storage of files and folders. In file names and data entries, hyphens are generally omitted.

Please submit all applications by 2023-05-01 . referring to May 1, 2023

The date in words

Dates are generally written in words rather than numerals in creative writing and legal documents. Spell out the day and the month, but use numerals for the year.

Where were you on the night of the fifteenth at 11 p.m.?
On the twenty-second of January 2021 , an object landed in Farley’s garden.
They left on the first of December .

In formal writing, follow the prescribed format of writing the day and year in figures and spelling out the month.

American: They left on December 1 . British: They left on 1 December .

The month abbreviated

When part of a specific date, the month may be abbreviated . Write the first three letters of the month, followed by a period . Don’t abbreviate May, June, and July. In formal writing, abbreviations for dates are useful in tables and charts but avoided in running text.

Feb. 24, 2022
May 1, 1997

In British English, we format the date in the following order: day, month, year.

1 January 2022
1st January 2022
the 1st of January, 2022
the 1st of January 2022
Monday, 1st January 2022
Monday the 1st of January, 2022
The date today is the 21st of January, 2020.
I was born on 12 May 1990.
The crash happened on Tuesday, the 10th of July, 1973.
My birthday is on 9 October.

As you can see, the last two letters of the number word are sometimes added, i.e., 1st (first), 2nd (second), 3rd (third)… These are known as ordinal numbers.

We also optionally put a comma before the year although it is not necessary. This is most commonly done when the date occurs in a sentence.

How To Write the Dates in Numbers

American English and British English use different ways to write the date in figures. British people put the day first while American people put the month first.

In American English, we typically write dates in the following order: month/day/year. The date can be written in one of the following ways:

Examples of dates in numbers:

01/21/20 (this means: January 21, 2020)
05/12/90 (this means: May 12, 1990)

Or, like this:

You can even lengthen the year to four digits if desired (and for clarity’s sake):

In British English, we typically write dates in the following order: day/month/year. The date can be written in one of the following ways:

21/01/20 (this means: 21 January 2020)
12/05/90 (this means: 12 May 1990)

Or even this:

Abbreviating the Date

The date can also be abbreviated in American and British English. We can do this if the date is not part of the main text of the document and to save space. Abbreviating the date is not recommended in formal writing.

The most common way to abbreviate the date is to shorten the month as follows:

Sep. / Sept.

Examples of how to abbreviate dates:

Jan 21st, 2020 (this means: January 21, 2020)
12 Sep 1990 (this means: 12 September 1990)

How to Write Dates Formally

When writing dates formally, we need to write the dates in full. There are many formats you can use.

American English (Formal)

British english (formal).

Make sure to keep the dates consistent throughout the document. Choose one format to use and stick to it.

How to Write Date Ranges Correctly

There are a few different ways we can write date ranges.

As a shortened form, we can use the en dash “–” like this:

Jan 21 – Feb 12, 2020 (this means: January 21 to February 12, 2020)
1990 – 1995

Another way we can write date ranges is with the words “from” and “to” like this:

from Jan 21 to Feb 12, 2020
from 1990 to 1995

We can use “between” when talking about date ranges. This is another common way to mention date range:

Between Jan 21 and Feb 12, 2020
Between 1990 – 1995 (between 1990 and 1995)

How to Write the Date with the Day of the Week

As mentioned briefly already, here is how we can write the date with the day of the week included.

American English Examples:

Monday, January 21, 2020
Tuesday, July 10

British English Examples:

Wednesday, 31st July 2022
Monday the 4th of June, 1988

Examples of Sentences:

I was born on Friday , 4th October 1960.
The party is on Saturday the 13th of October.
They got married on Saturday, December 10, 1975.

International Date Formats Used Around the World

There are a few different ways that dates are formatted around the world. Here are some of the most common ones:

YYYY/MM/DD (2020/01/21) – This is the international standard date format* and is used in many countries, including China, Japan , and Korea.

DD/MM/YYYY (21/01/2020) – This is the most common date format used in European countries , such as Ireland, the U.K., France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. It is also used in Australia and South Africa .

MM/DD/YYYY (01/21/2020) – This is the most common date format used in the United States and Canada.

*The international standard (ISO 8601) is written as YYYY-MM-DD. This may be used to avoid any confusion when communicating abroad.

How To Write the Date for the IELTS Exam

You can use either British or American English for the IELTS exam. The IELTS examiners will not mark you down for using one format over the other.

However, it is important to be consistent throughout your essay or letter. Choose one format and stick to it.

You should also consider the tone of writing; in other words, is it formal or casual? Are you writing to a friend or an employer?

For the exam, we know that the letter is formal if we see “Dear Sir/Madam…” If you are writing to a friend, keep it informal.

Here are some tips to be mindful of when writing the date for the IELTS exam (formal):

Include the year
Write the date in full
Don’t use contractions in your writing
Capitalize the first letter of the month

Here are some tips to be mindful of when writing the date for the IELTS exam (informal):

It’s okay to write the date in numbers
Abbreviated months can be used to save space
Shortening the year to two digits is acceptable

Tips for writing dates in the IELTS Listening Exam:

You can write the dates as a number to avoid errors
You can write a shortened version of the date (for example, May 2, 2 May, 2nd May)

Tips for saying the dates in the IELTS Exam:

We ALWAYS use ordinal numbers when speaking, for example, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th…

Be careful with similar sounding numbers, such as twelve, twenty, fourteen, forty and so forth.

7 November 1968

American English : ‘November the seventh, nineteen sixty-eight’ or ‘November seventh, nineteen sixty-eight’

British English : ‘the seventh of November, nineteen sixty-eight’

13 February 2022

American English: ‘February the thirteenth, two thousand and twenty-two’ or ‘February thirteenth, twenty twenty-two.’

British English: ‘the thirteenth of February, two thousand and twenty-two’ or ‘the thirteenth of February, twenty twenty-two.’

How Do You Say The Years in English?

We say the years in English by using a combination of numbers and words.

Here are some examples:

2006 –‘two thousand (and) six’ or ‘twenty-oh-six’
2007 — ‘two thousand (and) seven’ or ‘twenty-oh-seven’
2008 — ‘two thousand (and) eight’ or ‘twenty-oh-eight’
2009 — ‘two thousand (and) nine’ or ‘twenty-oh-nine’
2010 — ‘two thousand (and) ten’ or ‘twenty-ten’
2011 — ‘two thousand (and) eleven’ or ‘twenty-eleven’
2012 — ‘two thousand (and) twelve’ or “twenty-twelve’
2013 — ‘two thousand (and) thirteen’ or ‘twenty-thirteen’
2014 — ‘two thousand (and) fourteen’ or ‘twenty-fourteen’
2015 — ‘two thousand (and) fifteen’ or ‘twenty-fifteen’
2016 — ‘two thousand (and) sixteen’ or ‘twenty-sixteen’
2017 — ‘two thousand (and) seventeen’ or ‘twenty-seventeen’
2018 — ‘two thousand (and) eighteen’ or ‘twenty-eighteen’
2019 — ‘two thousand (and) nineteen’ or ‘twenty-nineteen’
2020 — ‘two thousand (and) twenty’ or ‘twenty-twenty’
2021 — ‘two thousand (and) twenty-one’ or ‘twenty twenty-one’
2022 — ‘two thousand (and) twenty-two’ or ‘twenty twenty-two’

We can also say the years by using a combination of numbers and words. Using “and” in the sentence is optional. The second “or” option is more informal than the first.

Other years to practice saying:

1800 — ‘(the year) eighteen hundred’
1900 — ‘(the year) nineteen hundred’
2000 — ‘(the year) two thousand’ or ‘twenty-oh’
1776 — ‘seventeen hundred (and) seventy-six’‘ or ‘seventeen seventy-six’
1812 — ‘eighteen hundred (and) twelve’ or ‘eighteen twelve’
1945 — ‘nineteen hundred (and) forty-five’ or ‘nineteen forty-five’
1509 — ‘fifteen hundred (and) nine’ or ‘fifteen-oh-nine’
2003 — ‘two thousand (and) three’ or ‘twenty-oh-three’
1945 — ‘nineteen hundred and forty-five’ or ‘nineteen forty-five’
1822 — ‘eighteen hundred and twenty-two’ or ‘eighteen twenty-two’

How Do You Say The Decades in English?

the 1940s — ‘nineteen forties’
the 1950s — ‘nineteen fifties’
the 1960s — ‘nineteen sixties’
the 1970s — ‘nineteen seventies’
the 1980s — ‘nineteen eighties’
the 1990s — ‘nineteen nineties
the 2000s — ‘the noughties’ refers to the decade 2000 to 2009

We can also write them with a comma, depending on the style guide we are using.

For example,

the 1940’s
the 1950’s
the 1960’s

Using on and in with Dates

We use “on” when giving a date with the exact day. We use “in” when referring to a month or a year.

I was born on the 12th of December.
The meeting is on July 15.
We’re going to Europe in May.
I’ll be back in a week.
What are you doing on New Year’s Eve?
Cleo’s birthday is in August.
I will be eating turkey on Christmas day.
My parents met in 1960.

To Ask About Dates

We often need to ask others about dates. Here are some examples of how to do this:

When is your birthday?
What day is it today?
What date is it?
What’s the date today?
What’s the date tomorrow?
What was the date yesterday?
Is today a holiday?
What month is it?
What date is the presentation? (or: when is the presentation?)

To Answer About Dates

To announce the date, use ‘it’s.’

For example:

It’s on the 15th of July.
Today is Wednesday.
Tomorrow is Thursday, the 10th of March.
Yesterday was the 12th.
It’s April 15th.

You may have seen other ways of writing dates, such as: Before Christ (BC) and Anno Domini (AD). Anno Domini” is Latin for “in the year of our Lord.

BC follows the date. AD can come before or after the date.

Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC.
The Battle of Hastings was fought in 1066 AD.

A more modern, alternative approach to writing these dates is to use the abbreviation “BCE,” which stands for Before Common Era. We can use the abbreviation “CE” to mean Common Era.

Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BCE.
The Battle of Hastings was fought in 1066 CE.

In Conclusion

We hope you found this guide helpful. Choose a date format and stick to it. Remember to practice writing and saying the dates in English often so that it becomes second nature to you.

How to Write Dates Correctly (With Examples)

Writing dates can seem straightforward at times and confounding at others. This complexity in writing dates arises due to the different formats used worldwide. Many authors also get confused about how to write them using commas. Understanding the established standards and then applying them consistently and clearly are the keys to conquering this difficulty with dates.

Continue reading to learn how to format dates in American English.

Different methods for writing dates

There are several methods for writing dates that are accepted internationally.

Follow dialectical standards

When using American English, the month should precede the day. First, write the month, then the day, and then the year. Examples are:
September 10
When using American English, separate the day and the year using a comma . If you are including the weekday, place a comma after it as well. A comma is not required if you are using British English. Examples are:
September 10, 2022
September tenth, 2022
Saturday , September 10, 2022
When using British English, the day should precede the month. This system is followed in many nations, including the UK and Australia. First, write the day, then the month, and then the year. Examples are:
10th September
10 September 2022
Saturday the 10th of September 2022.
When using British English, use “of” and “the.” The “of” and “the” should precede the month and day, respectively. It is also crucial to use them both together. Examples are:
The 10th of September
Saturday the tenth of September
When using British English, the day should be followed by ordinal indicators. Use one ordinal indicator like -st, -th, -nd, or -rd that matches the suffix . Though not commonly followed, this format is still accepted in American English. Examples are:
The 21st of September
The 14th of September
The 2nd of September
The 3rd of September
When writing for an international audience, use the International Standard to prevent confusion. In this format, first write the year, then the month, and then the day. Commas are not used and all four digits of the year are written. Examples are:
2022 September 10

Use different degrees of scope and formality

When writing extremely formal invitations, be sure to spell the year, month, and day. The day should be written first even when you are using American English. This format is used for official certificates like diplomas and documents with the highest formalities, including wedding invitations. It is used to show deference and courtesy to the occasion and the reader.
We request the presence of you and your family on the tenth of September in the year three thousand and thirty.
When communicating in a semi-formal or slightly formal setting, spell only the month out. It is appropriate to use digits for the year and the day. This format is prevalent in academic writing. There is also a slight variation in the writing style depending on whether you use American or British English.
For American English: “Queen Elizabeth II ascended the English throne on June 2, 1953.” or “Queen Elizabeth II ascended the English throne in June 1953.”
For British English: “Queen Elizabeth II ascended the English throne on 2 June 1953.” or “Queen Elizabeth II ascended the English throne on 2nd of June 1953.”
Use numerals when writing dates on records and documents. This format is usually followed for memos, impersonal business records like invoices or a piece of communication, or even on lecture notes. This is done to show when the document was made or when it is due. Use all numerals when filling out forms and keeping records. Points to note in this format:
When writing greeting cards, use the MM/DD/YY format and write the date at the top. This will help the receiver know when the card was written. Example: 09/10/22.
The YYYY-MM-DD pattern is usually used in museum databases to indicate the date an artifact was obtained. Example: 2022-09-10.
When filling out government forms, use the MM-DD-YYYY format. Example: 09-10-2022.

Format for numerical dates

Separate the numerals indicating the day, month, and year using hyphens or slashes. For a more elegant look, bullets or periods can also be used. Underscores are also used in some cases. Always use hyphens when writing in an international format. When using American English, the date September 10, 1992, can be written as:
In international standards, it is written as 1992-10-09
A writer can optionally add “0” when the day or month is a single-digit number. Although it is frequently necessary on forms, many forgo it in daily informal settings. Using this format will ensure that the numerical dates all have equal lengths and can be accurately sorted. Example:
June fourth, 2018 can be written as 06/04/18 or 6/4/18. This makes its length similar to that of 12/12/18.
When a form shows “MM-DD-YYYY” or “MM-DD-YY” format, always use numerals. This will also show the order in which to write the date. The number of “M”, “D”, and “Y” indicates the number of digits to be filled in. Example:
“MM-DD-YYYY” can be filled in as 09-10-1992 and “MM-DD-YY” as 09-10-92.

Writing centuries

Centuries are written as plurals and when written in words they are written with all lowercase letters. Do not use apostrophes when writing centuries. Examples are:

Women wore tailored suit dresses in the early 1900s.
Women wore tailored suit dresses in the nineteen hundreds.
Women wore tailored suit dresses in the twentieth century.

Writing decades

Apostrophes should be used before and after two-digit numbers used to represent decades, such as the ’90s. You can either write it as the 1990s or simply the nineties. Examples are:

In the 90s, rock music was very popular.
In the nineties, rock music was very popular.

Should “in” or “on” be used when writing dates ?

When referring to an exact day, write the date using “on.” When referring to the year or the month, use “in.”

I am flying to New York on September 10, 2022.

The cafe will cease operations in September 2022.

How are dates written in technical or official documents?

When writing technical or official documents, always follow international standards rather than American or British English. This will make the document understandable to people belonging to different countries.

How to write dates perfectly

Jessica Malnik

Writing dates can feel stressful because the rules and guidelines vary not just between US English or British English, but also depending on your preferred style guide .

In this post, we share general guidelines to help you write dates perfectly every time.

Note: Before we dive in, we’ll focus on how to write dates in US English.

How to write dates in US English correctly

As a general guide, dates are typically written in the order of month – day – year in US English. Here are the general rules and examples when using dates in your writing.

How to write the year

The year is typically written as numerals in US English. An exception is if you start your sentence with the year. In that situation, you should write out the year in words.

Note: When writing the year in words, you generally don’t write and after thousand when discussing a year after 2000 in US English.

Correct: Two thousand twenty was a challenging year for many students, who had to go to school virtually. Incorrect: 2020 was a challenging year for many students, who had to go to school virtually. Incorrect: Two thousand and twenty was a challenging year for many students, who had to go to school virtually.

How to write months and days

There are different formats you can select when writing the months and days, depending on your needs. When writing the month and day, you put the month before the date and use cardinal numbers (1, 2, 3, 4…) instead of ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th…).

Correct: They adopted the puppy on June 11. Incorrect: They adopted the puppy on June 11th.

If you want to write the date using the month, day, and year, you’ll use cardinal numbers for the day. You’ll also need a comma between the day and year. In US English, the month comes before the day, and the year comes after the day.

Correct: The research paper is due on April 23, 2021. Incorrect: The research paper is due on April 23rd, 2021. Incorrect: The research paper is due on April 23 2021.

You can use ordinal numbers if you’re writing the date using of or writing the day without including the month.

Correct: Her graduation will be on the 20th of June. Correct: Her graduation will be on the twentieth. Incorrect: Her graduation will be on the 20 of June.

How to write dates with days of the week

You’ll write the day of the week before the rest of the date when you want to include the day of the week. You’ll need to place a comma after the day of the week to separate it from the rest of the date.

Correct: The class will take a virtual tour of the museum on Monday, October 19, 2020. Incorrect: The class will take a virtual tour of the museum on Monday October 19, 2020.

How to write dates as decades and centuries

When writing the date as a decade or century, you can write it numerically or in words.

When writing decades numerically, you can write them as two-digit numbers with an apostrophe before the numbers and an “-s” after the numbers. You do this because when the decade is in a two-digit form, it’s both an abbreviation and plural.

Correct: Grunge rock music became commercially popular in the ’90s. Incorrect: Grunge rock music became commercially popular in the 90’s. Incorrect: Grunge rock music became commercially popular in the 90s.

The decade can also be written as four-digit numbers with an “-s” after the numbers, like this: 1990s. However, if you don’t include the “-s,” the reader may think you’re referring to that year instead of the whole decade.

Correct: In the 1960s and 1970s, bell-bottom pants were popular. Incorrect: In the 1960 and 1970, bell-bottom pants were popular. Incorrect: In the 1960’s and 1970’s, bell-bottom pants were popular.

When writing centuries numerically, you don’t use an apostrophe before the “-s” since centuries are plural and not possessive.

Correct: Many boys had bowl haircuts in the 1990s. Incorrect: Many boys had bowl haircuts in the 1990’s.

As with decades, you can also write out the century in words, such as the nineteenth century . Centuries are typically lowercase, unless it starts the sentence or is used in a title.

How to write dates in essays and papers

When writing dates in essays and papers, you want to follow the rules indicated by the style guide you’re asked to follow, such as AP Stylebook , Chicago Manual of Style, The Cambridge Guide to English Usage, etc.

Correct: She started at the new school on September 1 but left on September 10. Incorrect: She started at the new school on September 1 but left on the 10th of September.

If you’re writing a formal paper, you’ll typically want to avoid abbreviations. If you choose to abbreviate part of the date, make sure the reader can understand the date based on the context clues. For instance, if you abbreviate the decade as the ’40s, it should be clear whether you mean the 1940s, the 1840s, and so on.

How to write dates in British English

When writing dates in British English, a lot of the rules are the same. However, there are a few key differences, including:

Dates are typically written in the order of day – month – year in British English.
When you’re writing the year in words, in British English, you write and after thousand when discussing a year after 2000.
If you’re adding the day of the week to the date, it comes before the date. You should separate the name of the day from the date by using a comma or by using the and of .

While there are different rules and styles to writing dates, the process doesn’t have to be difficult. To help guide you, determine your primary audience, whether you need to follow a particular style guide, and write the dates consistently throughout. When writing, you’ll also want to make sure that any abbreviations make sense within the context of your paper. If there could be any confusion, you’ll want to avoid using abbreviations.

How to Write the Date Correctly

Krystal N. Craiker

Writing dates can be confusing. Where do the commas go? What if you need to include the day of the week?

Today, we’re teaching you how to write the date correctly every time.

Most of this article will focus on the American date format, but we will cover the differences between British and American English date formats, too.

Correct date format in british english, how to write the date and time in a sentence, write dates consistently.

One reason writing dates is so confusing is that there are so many options.

How to write the date varies based on geography, the circumstance, such as how formal you need to be, whether you need the year, and whether you’re using purely numerical forms.

We’ve broken down the different date formats, so you know how to write the date in every situation.

Month-Day-Year

The month-day-year date is the most common format used in America.

When you need to write the entire date, place a comma after the day. Here’s what it looks like:

July 4, 1776

When we see the date, we read the day in our heads, or out loud, as ordinal numbers. However, it’s not necessary to actually use ordinal numbers (e.g. 4th) when you write the day.

When you write the month-day-year format in the middle of a sentence, place another comma after the year.

America was founded on July 4, 1776, when the Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence.

Writing just the month and day is simple. Just leave off the comma and the year.

When you write the month-day format in the middle of a sentence, only place a comma after the day if the date ends a dependent clause or introductory phrase. Never place a comma after the month.

We go every July 4 to see fireworks.
Because it’s July 4, we are going to see fireworks.

Just like when you include the year, there’s no need to write the ordinal number form of the day.

The only time the date should include an ordinal number is when the format is inverted and the word “of” is included. Here’s an example from a famous folk song:

I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy! Yankee Doodle do-or-die. A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam, born on the 4th of July.

In this form, you can use numeric or word formats for the ordinal numbers: 4th or fourth.

Month, day, and month, year date formats

Sometimes, we only need to write dates with the month and year. We might refer to a general time frame, or we may not know the exact date of something.

As with other date formats, don’t include a comma between the month and year. Only place a comma after the year if the date ends a dependent clause or introductory phrase.

Let’s look at a few examples of how to write the month and year.

Her baby is due in June 2022.
In June 2022, she will have her baby.

With the Day of the Week

When writing dates with the day of the week, always place a comma between the day of the week and the rest of the date. Then, follow the above rules for the rest of the date.

This is one type of date format where the comma rule is the same for British English: you always put a comma after the day of the week.

Here are some examples of how to write the date with the day of the week. Please note these examples are using the American date format.

Saturday, April 2, 2022
The wedding is Saturday, April 2, 2022.
The wedding takes place Saturday, April 2, 2022, at the Bellagio Chapel in Vegas.

Numerical Forms

We don’t always write dates by spelling out the month. Often, we use an all-numeric date format, such as when we sign a form, take notes, or write in a diary.

Typically, we don’t use the purely numerical form when writing the date in a sentence. In those situations, use the rules above and spell out the month.

When you do write the date with just numbers, there are a few ways you can format it. However, you should always use the month-day-year format for American English.

There are a few accepted punctuation marks for numeric dates: hyphens , slashes , and periods . In American dates, hyphens and slashes are the most common.

It’s also acceptable to omit the zero in the month or day, if the number is less than 10. However, some online forms will require you to use a zero.

You can use either four digits or two digits for the year. Only use two-digit numbers if it’s clear which century you’re talking about.

If it’s a birthdate of a living person, we can deduce whether the year occurred in the 1900s or 2000s.

Now, let’s take a look at several ways we might write the same date in the numerical format.

Selecting one of these date formats is usually a matter of personal preference, although if you have a style guide for your writing, defer to its formatting.

The important thing is to be consistent with whichever format you choose.

Years, Decades, and Centuries

Years, decades, and centuries can be confusing to write. Let’s look at each type in more detail.

When we write the year, we typically use a four-digit format.

We saw in the previous section that we can use a two-digit year in the numeric form. Both four digits and two digits are correct and are a matter of personal preference.

But sometimes we reference a year in a sentence and only use two-digits. In this case, we place an apostrophe before the digits. The apostrophe replaces the century of a four-digit year.

I bought a ’69 Camaro.

We don’t always use a two-digit format in a sentence. You could say, “I bought a 1969 Camaro.” But when you choose to use only two-digits in a sentence, the apostrophe is required.

Remember, the apostrophe is not required when you write an entire, exact date in numerical form.

When we write years out in long form, you can include “and” after “thousand,” or you can omit it. American English tends to omit the “and,” but it's correct either way.

Correct: Two thousand eight was when I graduated high school.
Correct: Two thousand and eight was when I graduated high school.

Apostrophe rules get tricky when we write decades. When we reference a decade, the rules for writing plurals apply: never use apostrophes for plural words. For decades, never put an apostrophe between the decade and the /s/.

Incorrect: I love listening to the hair bands of the 1980’s.
Correct: I love listening to the hair bands of the 1980s.

If you omit the first two digits, place an apostrophe before the decade number. You still shouldn’t put an apostrophe before the /s/.

Incorrect: I love listening to the hair bands of the 80’s.
Incorrect: I love listening to the hair bands of the ’80’s.
Correct: I love listening to the hair bands of the ’80s.

You can also write the decade in word form, e.g. “eighties.”

Similarly to decades, if you reference a century in a four-digit format, do not place an apostrophe before the /s/.

Incorrect: I love the fashion of 1700’s.
Correct: I love the fashion of the 1700s.

Adding an apostrophe to plurals is a common writing error. ProWritingAid will point out unnecessary apostrophes in your plural numbers.

ProWritingAid correcting an aprostrophe in a decade

When you write centuries in the ordinal form, add the correct suffix after the number or use the word format. There’s no need to capitalize the word form.

Correct: I love 18th-century fashion.
Correct: I love eighteenth-century fashion.

British English uses a different date format in which the month and day are inverted (day-month-year). In British English, dates do not need commas before or after the year, even in a sentence.

11 November 1918
Armistice Day on 11 November 1918 marked the end of World War I.

The inverted format also applies to numeric dates, e.g. 14/2/2017.

We’ve seen several examples of how to write the date in a sentence. Writing the time in a sentence is simple.

You can write the time in a sentence as hour:minute plus a.m. or p.m. If you’re using a 24-hour time format, the a.m. or p.m. is not required.

You can also leave it off if it’s clear what time of day something occurs. Here’s what this looks like:

I get out of school at 3:45 p.m.
I get out of school at 3:45. (The p.m. is not necessary because we can assume you don’t get out of school at 3:45 a.m.)
I get out of school at 15:45.

If the time that you’re writing occurs on the hour, you can also write “o’clock.” Instead of a.m. or p.m., describe the time of day if necessary.

He will be there at four o’clock.
He will be there at four o’clock in the afternoon.

If you need to write both the time and date, just combine the rules. Here are two examples:

My flight arrives on December 13 at 10:40 a.m.
Your appointment is at 2 o’clock on February 27, 2022.

There are many ways to write a date, but it’s important to use the same format consistently throughout your writing.

Writing out the date can seem simple and oddly complicated at the same time. You only have a few pieces of information to convey, but there’s no one way to write the date. Instead, there are a handful of formatting varieties for different occasions, dialects, and purposes. When choosing a date format, use the one that will provide the most clarity to your audience. If you’re entering dates into a form, stick with a numerical format that can’t be confused. If you’re writing to an international recipient, consider spelling out the month or following the International Standard. In terms of formality, you can show respect on a formal document by writing out the entire date, but feel free to keep the date on an informal letter short and sweet.

Following Dialectical Standards

Step 1 List the month before the day in American English.

October 9, 2022
October ninth, 2022
Sunday, October 9, 2022
Placing a comma between the month and year in British English is optional.

Step 3 Order the day before the month in British English.

9th October
9 October 2022
Sunday the 9th of October 2022

Step 4 Include “the” and “of” when spelling out dates in British English.

The 9th of October
Sunday the ninth of October

Step 5 Insert an ordinal indicator after the day in British English sentences.

The 21st of June
The 22nd of July
The 23rd of August
The 24th of September
Note that numerals in the teens are followed by -th. So you’d write 11th, 12th, and 13th instead of 21st, 22nd, and 23rd.
This tactic is less commonly used in American English but is still accepted.

Step 6 Identify the year first when using the International Standard.

The same date, which would be 10/09/22 in American English but 09/10/22 in British English becomes 2022-10-09 in the International Standard.
You could also write this date out as 2022 October 9. Don’t use commas between any of the data points.
Always include the full 4-digit year when using this format.

Using Different Levels of Formality and Scope

Step 1 Spell out the day, month, and year for highly formal invitations.

For an invitation, try “We request your presence on the fifth of April in the year two thousand and twenty.”
Use this format to express courtesy and deference to the reader and the occasion.

Step 2 Spell out only the month within formal and semi-formal contexts.

When identifying an event or occasion, write “on” before a day. If you omit the day, insert “in” before the month or year.
In British English, you could write “she was born on 8 May 1883” or “she was born on the 8th of May 1883.”
In American English, try “she was born on May 8, 1883” or “she was born in May 1883.”

Step 3 Choose numerals when dating documents and records.

You can include the date in MM/DD/YY format at the top of a greeting card so your recipient knows when it was written.
A museum database may use the YYYY-MM-DD format to identify when an object was acquired.
You may be asked to provide your date of birth in MM-DD-YYYY format on a government form.

Formatting Numerical Dates

Step 1 Separate the month, day, and year with slashes or hyphens.

Stick with hyphens for the International Standard. The same date would be written as 2003-23-11 in this format. [11] X Research source

Step 2 Include an optional “0” before single-digit month and day numbers.

For instance, you could use either 3/2/15 or 03/02/15.
In a list of dates, 03/02/15 would be the same length as 12/02/15.
If you use 3/2/15 in your list, the earlier date may incorrectly be sorted after the later date. This happens because the first digit in the March date (3) is larger than the first digit in the December date (1). Add a “0” to prevent this error.

Step 3 Use numerals when you see “MM,” “DD,” and “YY” or “YYYY” on a form.

Use a “0” before single-digit days and months as needed.
If you’re asked to provide the date as MM/DD/YY you could write 05/12/94.
If you’re asked for DD-MM-YYYY, this date would be 12-05-1994.
You may see these letters without any separation on some forms. For DDMMYY, simply enter 120594 unless otherwise noted.

Expert Q&A

When writing the date, tailor your formatting to your audience. If you’re writing for an international audience, use a format that cannot be confused, such as the International Standard or one with the month spelled out. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0

About This Article

To write dates informally, you can use numerals and dashes or backslashes between the day, month, and year to keep the dates short. For single digit days and months, you can choose to write the single digit or use a zero in front of the digit. Write out the month as a word instead of using the numeral in slightly more formal situations. In formal situations, like when you're writing invitations or letters, you can use words instead of numerals for the entire date. For tips on using the correct sequence when writing dates, read on!

A formal essay is a well-structured piece of writing with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. This type of essay often includes cited research, uses an academic tone, and is written in 3rd person. While writing a formal essay, it’s necessary to back up your arguments with factual evidence.

What Is an Informal Essay vs. Formal Essay?

Essays come in two formats: formal and informal (also known as personal .) They differ in terms of style and context. You can choose one of the formats depending on the situation and the type of paper you need to write.

Don’t know how to tell the difference between them? Well, here are some key characteristics of these essay types:

As you can see, these types of writing are almost total opposites. Informal essays are only reserved for creative assignments, which means that most of the papers you write need to be formal.

Just in 1 hour! We will write you a plagiarism-free paper in hardly more than 1 hour

Our article on creative essays can help you write an informal paper. But how do you craft a perfect formal essay? Keep reading to find out.

✅ How to Write a Formal Essay

Traditionally, a formal essay it’s composed of 3 sections: an introduction, 3 or more body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Let’s examine each part in detail.

Formal Essay Introduction

The introduction is what your essay starts with. Its primary goal is to catch the reader’s attention with a hook, briefly introduce the topic, and lead toward the thesis statement located at the end of the first paragraph.

Here is what you might want to keep in mind while writing the introduction:

Now on to the thesis statement : the key idea of your essay. When working on it, keep in mind that it should answer the central question in your topic and reflect your essay’s overall structure. your essay’s overall structure.

Suppose your topic is related to the teaching methods involving poetry. In that case, the thesis statement can be like this:

Teaching methods that involve reading and writing poetry in elementary school are beneficial for children as they enhance their capacity for empathy, develop creativity, and help with self-realization.

Formal Essay Body

The next part of an essay is the main body paragraphs. They support the thesis statement with well-developed arguments and explore the topic in-depth. Each body paragraph starts with a topic sentence stating its main point. The length of a paragraph can vary, but the best option is to have between 4 and 7 sentences.

To make the text flow easily, you may use transitional words. Here are some examples:

after all, 
for instance, 
on the one/other hand, 
initially, 
as a result.

How to Write a Formal Essay Conclusion

Lastly, every essay needs closure. A good conclusion summarizes the essay’s main ideas, includes a paraphrased thesis, and encourages the readers to think more about the topic.

Get an originally-written paper according to your instructions!

The structure of a conclusion may change slightly depending on the subject. For instance, it can suggest some solutions to a problem, express an opinion, or give a recommendation. It’s important to remember that the conclusion is a part that emphasizes your essay’s most important points and doesn’t introduce new information.

✍️ Formal Writing Rules

Just like choosing the proper attire to wear to a formal event, we need to use the right words while writing a formal essay. Here are some suggestions that can help you maintain a formal tone in your paper:  

Dos of formal writing

Pay attention to your vocabulary. The words you will use in a formal essay will likely have a nuanced meaning. Make sure you know exactly what the terms mean, and do your best to sound precise.
Use punctuation correctly. Here are some of the things to watch out for: Avoid exclamation marks; Use dashes for insertions; Use colons with enumerations; If you’re unsure of whether to use a punctuation mark or not, rewrite the sentence in a way that doesn’t require it.
Use varied sentence structure. In formal writing, there is always a danger of sounding monotonous. Avoid repeating sentence structures to make your essay more readable.
Provide references. It’s essential to cite every idea that you borrow. Try to paraphrase quotations from your sources: it will help you avoid plagiarism.

Don’ts of formal writing

Avoid using pronouns.  With words such as “I,” “me,” “we,” or “us,” an essay becomes wordy. It also makes the author seem less sure of their ideas. If you want to use personal pronouns, try substituting them with words like “the reader,” “viewers,” or “one.”
Avoid using slang expressions and nonstandard diction. Slang words in a formal essay will make it less appealing to the readers. If you want to be taken seriously, it’s best to avoid those expressions and use proper Standard English.
Avoid informal tone.  When you write a formal essay, incorporate the language and the expressions you would use while delivering a speech, not the words you use when you casually talk to friends. A formal tone suggests that the author is serious about the topic and respects the audience.
Avoid passive voice. Passive verbs are hard to read, and they are wordy. Use active voice to sound more straightforward and concise.

Contractions in Formal Writing

A contraction is usually a combination of two words into one, such as “don’t,” “isn’t,” “can’t,” and “wouldn’t.” When you work on a formal essay, it’s essential to be careful about contractions. It’s inappropriate to use them in academic writing, so it’s best to stick to the full variant.

However, there are exceptions to this rule. For instance, when working with direct quotations, it’s essential to reproduce words exactly as they are used in the original. To learn more about it, be sure to check out the University of North Florida’s article on in-text citations .

What to Use Instead of “You” in an Essay

Another common mistake students make is using the “you” and “yours” pronouns to address the readers. This mistake can make the essay overly informal and lead to misinterpretations of the text.

How do you fix it? Our advice is to replace 2nd-person pronouns with the following words:

individuals,

🖥️ Formal Essay Format

Now that we’ve discussed formal essay writing in detail, it’s time to look at the formatting. A formal essay is usually written in MLA or APA formats. If you’re asked to write a paper in one of these formats, you may find the guidelines below helpful:

❓ Formal Essay FAQs

It’s best not to use pronouns such as “I,” “my,” “we,” “our,” etc., in a formal essay since it give the paper an informal tone and the text becomes wordy. It also makes the writer seem less sure about their ideas.

It’s better to avoid using parentheses and dashes in formal academic writing. If the information you want to include in the essay is important enough, it should be a part of the sentence. Otherwise, you can simply omit it.

The formal and informal essays differ in style and context. While a formal essay is a piece of well-structured writing that tries to convince the reader by providing arguments, an informal essay has no set structure. It reflects the author’s personal thoughts or opinions.

Starting your sentence with “because” in formal writing is not the best idea. The word “because” is a subordinate conjunction, which means it’s used to join the main clause to a subordinate clause, not to start a sentence.

It’s best to avoid using 1st- and 2nd-person pronouns, slang expressions, nonstandard diction, and contractions in a formal essay. They are primarily used in daily speech and are considered inappropriate in academic writing.

In MLA Works Cited entries, publication dates are presented in day-month-year order. If the name of the month has five or more letters, abbreviate it to the first three.

Sometimes you just list the year (e.g. when citing a book ), but if the source provides a more specific publication date, you should usually include it (e.g. when citing a journal article or web page ). Occasionally you might even list the time of publication in addition to the date (e.g. when citing a timestamped online comment).

Don’t use ordinal numbers (e.g. “5th”) or commas within a date in the Works Cited list. Don’t include a 0 before a single-digit date (e.g. “05”), even if your source does.

All months with names five or more letters long are abbreviated in Works Cited entries. Abbreviate to the first three letters, followed by a period.

Bear in mind that months are not abbreviated in the main text or the header , though—only in the Works Cited list.

Prevent plagiarism. Run a free check.

An MLA Works Cited entry always contains the year of publication, but some source types specify more precise publication dates. For example, journals generally provide a month or season of publication, while newspapers and online articles usually have a specific date. As a general guideline, include the level of detail your source gives.

The level of detail can sometimes vary based on your reasons for citing the source. For example, for an episode of a TV series you’d usually just give the year, but you might give the day and month too if you’re discussing the context in which the episode aired.

The table below indicates the level of detail usually given for each source type. If less detail is available for your source than shown here, just include as much detail as you do have (e.g. just the year for a web page that only lists the year).

For online sources, MLA advises including an access date for

A source with no publication date listed
A source that’s continually updated
A source that may have been deleted since you used it

At the end of the Works Cited entry, write “Accessed” followed by the day, month, and year on which you accessed the source:

But only use access dates with online sources . No access date should be added for, e.g., a printed book without a publication date.

When citing the entirety of a source published over a longer period of time (e.g. a TV series , a book published in several volumes , an event that took place over several days), you’ll have to cite a range of dates rather than just a single date.

Use an en dash (–) with no spaces to specify a range of dates.

Don’t repeat elements that are the same in both dates. For example, if citing a range of dates within one month, don’t repeat the month. In a range consisting only of years, you can omit the first two numbers from the second year if they’re the same as those of the first year.

15 Dec. 2019–22 Jan. 2020.
19–21 Mar. 2021.
27 Apr.–4 May 2018.

If citing a publication that is still ongoing, leave a space after the en dash to indicate this.

Note that date ranges are not needed to cite a single episode in a series, a single volume of a book, or a single issue or article within a journal. They’re only needed when you’re citing the whole longer publication.

Occasionally, you might only have an approximate or uncertain date for a source. This is sometimes the case with older works, and artworks contained in museums , where the exact year of composition is unknown.

Approximate dates

The term “circa” (Latin for “around”) is used for approximate dates, sometimes abbreviated to “c.” Use it in your Works Cited entry when applicable—spelled out, not abbreviated. It may appear with a single year or a range.

Alternatively, a general period such as “late thirteenth century” may be given. Spell out the ordinal number in this case (i.e. “thirteenth,” not “13th”), even if your source doesn’t.

Uncertain dates

Your source may indicate that the date given is uncertain with a question mark or with qualifiers like “possibly 1819” or “probably 1745.”

In these cases, include a question mark after the year in your Works Cited entry. If a period would usually follow the date, omit it, but retain a comma in addition to the question mark if one would usually appear there.

Classic works are often republished in thousands of different editions . The most important publication date to give is that of the edition you used.

But you might decide in some cases that it’s also useful to give the original publication date. For example, if you’re discussing how a particular writer’s work developed over time, it might be useful to give the original publication date for each text in your Works Cited list.

The original publication date should be added directly after the title of the source it refers to, while the publication date of the edition you used appears later in the usual position of the date element.

In the main text, dates are presented differently. The main difference is that you shouldn’t abbreviate the names of months in the main text. This is done in the Works Cited list to save space, but it’s not appropriate elsewhere.

Additionally, dates don’t have to be presented in day-month-year order in the main text. You can use one of two formats: Month Day, Year, or Day Month Year . Choose one or the other and use it consistently.

Mary Shelley was born on August 30, 1797, and died on February 1, 1851 .
Mary Shelley was born on 30 August 1797 and died on 1 February 1851 .

Days and years should always be written as numerals . You can refer to decades either with numerals or spelled out . Use one style or the other consistently.

Blade Runner is one of the most influential films of the 1980s .
Blade Runner is one of the most influential films of the eighties .

In your MLA Works Cited list , dates are always written in day-month-year order, with the month abbreviated if it’s five or more letters long, e.g. 5 Mar. 2018.

In the main text, you’re free to use either day-month-year or month-day-year order, as long as you use one or the other consistently. Don’t abbreviate months in the main text, and use numerals for dates, e.g. 5 March 2018 or March 5, 2018.

In an MLA Works Cited list , the names of months with five or more letters are abbreviated to the first three letters, followed by a period. For example, abbreviate Feb., Mar., Apr., but not June, July.

In the main text, month names should never be abbreviated.

The level of detail you provide in a publication date in your Works Cited list depends on the type of source and the information available. Generally, follow the lead of the source—if it gives the full date, give the full date; if it gives just the year, so should you.

Books usually list the year, whereas web pages tend to give a full date. For journal articles , give the year, month and year, or season and year, depending on what information is available. Check our citation examples if you’re unsure about a particular source type.

When an online source (e.g. web page , blog post) doesn’t list a publication date , you should instead list an access date .

Unlike a publication date, this appears at the end of your MLA Works Cited entry, after the URL, e.g. “A Complete Guide to MLA Style.” Scribbr , www.scribbr.com/category/mla/. Accessed 28 Mar. 2021 .

For offline sources with no publication date shown, don’t use an access date—just leave out the date.

How to write dates in academic manuscripts

Dates in ma & phd dissertations/theses.

Authors of academic papers such as theses, dissertations, peer-reviewed journal articles sometimes need to mention dates in their manuscripts.

Dates have to be written according to convention and specific rules. How a date is written in American English is different from how it is written in British English.

Indeed, within British English itself dates can be written in more than one format.

It is quite important to write dates correctly in your academic papers.

Let's delve into how dates should be used or written in academic texts – with some illustrative examples:

15 May 2022

May 15, 2022

Sunday, May 15, 2022

Sunday, 15 May 2022

15/05.22

When writing the date in an essay, thesis, or other academic document, the date format depends on whether it is written in American, Australian, or British English. Secondly, it is helpful to consult a style guide provided by the academic institution. Thirdly, consistency is essential whichever format is chosen.

Date format in American English

The format in American English is month-date-year, and a comma should be inserted between the date and year; for example, May 15, 2022. The date may also be expressed in figures such as 05/15/22 or 05/15/2022. Where the day of the week is used, the format should be Sunday, May 25, 2022.

Date format in British English

In British English, the format is date-month-year, and no comma is used; for example, 15 May 2022. The date may also be written in figures such as 15/05/22 or 15/05/2022. Where the day of the week is used, the format should be Sunday, 8 May 2022. Note that in this case, a comma is used after the day of the week.

Date format in Australian English

Australian English tends to follow British English when expressing the date in a dissertation, journal article or other academic document. The main difference in Australian English is that the day of the week is included in all official documents in the format Sunday, 15 May 2022. In newspapers the format is Sunday, May 15, 2022.

Some comments on all formats

It is not usual to use ordinals (15 th May) in essays and other academic documents. However, if they are used, it should be in the format fifteenth of May. In some cases, it is not always necessary to write the year. Consider the sentence, ‘It was decided that the experiment would be conducted in 2021, and it was performed on March 20.’ Here it is obvious that March 20 is in 2021. Similarly, it is not always necessary to repeat the month; For example, in the sentence, ‘The university examinations are always held in June, and this year they will begin on the eighth.’

Style guides

Most academic institutions provide a style guide. This should always be consulted before the thesis or essay is written. The style guide will specify whether the date format is to be in British, American, or Australian English, and whether it is to be in words (15 May 2022) or in figures (15/05/22). It may also state if abbreviations are to be used for months (such as, Jan, Feb). However, in all cases, the months of May, June, and July are not abbreviated. The reader, as well as the writer, needs to be aware of whether British or American format is being used, otherwise the date could be misread, thereby causing confusion. For example, in British English 04/03/22 means 04 March 2022, while in American English it means April 04, 2022.

Consistency

As stated above, there is a considerable variety of formats for dates in academic documents. The choice of which format to use depends on whether the document is in American/Australian/British English and the requirements of the style guide, while personal preference may also be a factor. Nevertheless, whichever format is chosen, consistency is vital. A lack of consistency (such as use of British English for one date and American for another) will undoubtedly cause confusion and result in incorrect dates.

8 Tips to Make Your Writing Sound More Formal

Get 400 words proofread and edited for free

Here at ProofreadingPal , we get a lot of requests to “elevate tone,” “create a scholarly tone,” and “increase the formality,” and even “help this sound smart.” Truthfully, we cannot make you sound “smart.” There is no substitute for good ideas, but we can (and do) help you elevate your tone and make you sound like a bona fide professional-thinking person. Here are some handy tricks that you can use yourself.

Avoid colloquial, informal words

I see a surprisingly high number of formal academic/business works that include words that are better left for the water cooler or over a spirited discussion of the merits of Michael Bay movies. Some words to avoid are “totally” (use “completely” instead), “basically” (just avoid it), “impact” (mostly as a verb. You shouldn’t say “that will impact me”), “wicked” (only use this when chatting in online games), and “cool” (this word can mean just about anything. Try to choose a more precise word). In general, avoid all slang words (e.g., rad, YOLO, heaps, guv). If in doubt, see if you could imagine your professor or boss using it. If not, avoid it.

Proper use of “such as”

In formal writing, never use “like.” It’s probably the most commonly used feature of speech today for certain populations, but avoid it in formal writing. Compare:

Animals, like bears and tigers, are interesting. Animals, such as bears and tigers, are interesting.

See how much more formal the second sounds?

Get a free sample proofread and edit for your document. Two professional proofreaders will proofread and edit your document.

Avoid contractions

Contractions such as “can’t,” “didn’t,” and “I’m” are purely a product of verbal speech. We speak in contractions, but the convention is that, for formal, non-fiction writing, we shouldn’t write in them. When writing a formal business letter or an academic essay, forego contractions. It’s easy to use the Word FIND function to seek them out and destroy them.

Avoid clichés

Common Formality Mistakes

This guide wouldn’t be complete without a look at some common practices that people use to make their writing more formal that don’t work. Here are a few practices we end up having to correct time and time again.

5. Don’t use passive voice . Passive voice is wordy, but being formal has nothing to do with wordiness.

Don’t use thesaurus words you don’t fully understand. Big words don’t make your writing sound more formal, and this can backfire when you pick a word that doesn’t mean what you think it means. Take the sentence, “I saw a red dog walking down the street.” Easy, right? But using too much of a thesaurus might cause you to create: “I consulted a bloodshot mongrel marching down the highway,” which clearly is not what you intended.
Don’t be wordy.

In all writing, wherever possible, brevity is the soul of wit. (Even I can’t avoid clichés, but at least that’s Shakespeare.) That means, always keep your prose as simple as possible . You may think, “The item that we are discussing could be the solution we are looking for to solve our problem,” sounds better because it’s long, but it’ll just annoy your reader. “That is the solution to our problem,” is better.

Don’t mangle your sentences with third person.

Some professors still insist their students use third person to make their writing sound more formal, but (and always check with your professor first) style guides such as APA (and us) recommend you use first or second person to prevent passive voice and ambiguous language. Take: “The researcher applied a qualitative approach to the study” for example. Who is the researcher? You or someone else? This is ambiguous. It’s better to say, “I will take a qualitative approach to the study,” and this doesn’t sound any less formal.

Happy writing, and good luck.

MLA Formatting and Style Guide

Welcome to the Purdue OWL

This page is brought to you by the OWL at Purdue University. When printing this page, you must include the entire legal notice.

MLA (Modern Language Association) style is most commonly used to write papers and cite sources within the liberal arts and humanities. This resource, updated to reflect the MLA Handbook (9 th ed.), offers examples for the general format of MLA research papers, in-text citations, endnotes/footnotes, and the Works Cited page.

The following overview should help you better understand how to cite sources using MLA 9 th edition, including how to format the Works Cited page and in-text citations.

Please use the example at the bottom of this page to cite the Purdue OWL in MLA. See also our MLA vidcast series on the Purdue OWL YouTube Channel .

Creating a Works Cited list using the ninth edition

MLA is a style of documentation that may be applied to many different types of writing. Since texts have become increasingly digital, and the same document may often be found in several different sources, following a set of rigid rules no longer suffices.

Thus, the current system is based on a few guiding principles, rather than an extensive list of specific rules. While the handbook still describes how to cite sources, it is organized according to the process of documentation, rather than by the sources themselves. This gives writers a flexible method that is near-universally applicable.

Once you are familiar with the method, you can use it to document any type of source, for any type of paper, in any field.

Here is an overview of the process:

When deciding how to cite your source, start by consulting the list of core elements. These are the general pieces of information that MLA suggests including in each Works Cited entry. In your citation, the elements should be listed in the following order:

Title of source.
Title of container,
Other contributors,
Publication date,

Each element should be followed by the corresponding punctuation mark shown above. Earlier editions of the handbook included the place of publication and required different punctuation (such as journal editions in parentheses and colons after issue numbers) depending on the type of source. In the current version, punctuation is simpler (only commas and periods separate the elements), and information about the source is kept to the basics.

Begin the entry with the author’s last name, followed by a comma and the rest of the name, as presented in the work. End this element with a period.

Bhabha, Homi K. The Location of Culture. Routledge, 1994.

Title of source

The title of the source should follow the author’s name. Depending upon the type of source, it should be listed in italics or quotation marks.

A book should be in italics:

Henley, Patricia. The Hummingbird House . MacMurray, 1999.

An individual webpage should be in quotation marks. The name of the parent website, which MLA treats as a "container," should follow in italics:

Lundman, Susan. "How to Make Vegetarian Chili." eHow, www.ehow.com/how_10727_make-vegetarian-chili.html.*

A periodical (journal, magazine, newspaper) article should be in quotation marks:

Bagchi, Alaknanda. "Conflicting Nationalisms: The Voice of the Subaltern in Mahasweta Devi's Bashai Tudu." Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature , vol. 15, no. 1, 1996, pp. 41-50.

A song or piece of music on an album should be in quotation marks. The name of the album should then follow in italics:

Beyoncé. "Pray You Catch Me." Lemonade, Parkwood Entertainment, 2016, www.beyonce.com/album/lemonade-visual-album/.

*The MLA handbook recommends including URLs when citing online sources. For more information, see the “Optional Elements” section below.

Title of container

The eighth edition of the MLA handbook introduced what are referred to as "containers," which are the larger wholes in which the source is located. For example, if you want to cite a poem that is listed in a collection of poems, the individual poem is the source, while the larger collection is the container. The title of the container is usually italicized and followed by a comma, since the information that follows next describes the container.

Kincaid, Jamaica. "Girl." The Vintage Book of Contemporary American Short Stories, edited by Tobias Wolff, Vintage, 1994, pp. 306-07.

The container may also be a television series, which is made up of episodes.

“94 Meetings.” Parks and Recreation, created by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, performance by Amy Poehler, season 2, episode 21, Deedle-Dee Productions and Universal Media Studios, 2010.

The container may also be a website, which contains articles, postings, and other works.

Wise, DeWanda. “Why TV Shows Make Me Feel Less Alone.” NAMI, 31 May 2019, www.nami.org/Blogs/NAMI-Blog/May-2019/How-TV-Shows-Make-Me-Feel-Less-Alone . Accessed 3 June 2019.

In some cases, a container might be within a larger container. You might have read a book of short stories on Google Books , or watched a television series on Netflix . You might have found the electronic version of a journal on JSTOR. It is important to cite these containers within containers so that your readers can find the exact source that you used.

“94 Meetings.” Parks and Recreation , season 2, episode 21, NBC , 29 Apr. 2010. Netflix, www.netflix.com/watch/70152031?trackId=200256157&tctx=0%2C20%2C0974d361-27cd-44de-9c2a-2d9d868b9f64-12120962.

Langhamer, Claire. “Love and Courtship in Mid-Twentieth-Century England.” Historical Journal , vol. 50, no. 1, 2007, pp. 173-96. ProQuest, doi:10.1017/S0018246X06005966. Accessed 27 May 2009.

Other contributors

In addition to the author, there may be other contributors to the source who should be credited, such as editors, illustrators, translators, etc. If their contributions are relevant to your research, or necessary to identify the source, include their names in your documentation.

Foucault, Michel. Madness and Civilization: A History of Insanity in the Age of Reason. Translated by Richard Howard , Vintage-Random House, 1988.

Woolf, Virginia. Jacob’s Room . Annotated and with an introduction by Vara Neverow, Harcourt, Inc., 2008.

If a source is listed as an edition or version of a work, include it in your citation.

The Bible . Authorized King James Version, Oxford UP, 1998.

Crowley, Sharon, and Debra Hawhee. Ancient Rhetorics for Contemporary Students. 3rd ed., Pearson, 2004.

If a source is part of a numbered sequence, such as a multi-volume book or journal with both volume and issue numbers, those numbers must be listed in your citation.

Dolby, Nadine. “Research in Youth Culture and Policy: Current Conditions and Future Directions.” Social Work and Society: The International Online-Only Journal, vol. 6, no. 2, 2008, www.socwork.net/sws/article/view/60/362. Accessed 20 May 2009.

Quintilian. Institutio Oratoria. Translated by H. E. Butler, vol. 2, Loeb-Harvard UP, 1980.

The publisher produces or distributes the source to the public. If there is more than one publisher, and they are all are relevant to your research, list them in your citation, separated by a forward slash (/).

Klee, Paul. Twittering Machine. 1922. Museum of Modern Art, New York. The Artchive, www.artchive.com/artchive/K/klee/twittering_machine.jpg.html. Accessed May 2006.

Women's Health: Problems of the Digestive System . American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2006.

Daniels, Greg and Michael Schur, creators. Parks and Recreation . Deedle-Dee Productions and Universal Media Studios, 2015.

Note : The publisher’s name need not be included in the following sources: periodicals, works published by their author or editor, websites whose titles are the same name as their publisher, websites that make works available but do not actually publish them (such as YouTube , WordPress , or JSTOR ).

Publication date

The same source may have been published on more than one date, such as an online version of an original source. For example, a television series might have aired on a broadcast network on one date, but released on Netflix on a different date. When the source has more than one date, it is sufficient to use the date that is most relevant to your writing. If you’re unsure about which date to use, go with the date of the source’s original publication.

In the following example, Mutant Enemy is the primary production company, and “Hush” was released in 1999. Below is a general citation for this television episode:

“Hush.” Buffy the Vampire Slayer , created by Joss Whedon, performance by Sarah Michelle Gellar, season 4, Mutant Enemy, 1999 .

However, if you are discussing, for example, the historical context in which the episode originally aired, you should cite the full date. Because you are specifying the date of airing, you would then use WB Television Network (rather than Mutant Enemy), because it was the network (rather than the production company) that aired the episode on the date you’re citing.

“Hush.” Buffy the Vampire Slayer, created by Joss Whedon, performance by Sarah Michelle Gellar, season 4, episode 10, WB Television Network, 14 Dec. 1999 .

You should be as specific as possible in identifying a work’s location.

An essay in a book or an article in a journal should include page numbers.

Adiche, Chimamanda Ngozi. “On Monday of Last Week.” The Thing around Your Neck, Alfred A. Knopf, 2009, pp. 74-94 .

The location of an online work should include a URL. Remove any "http://" or "https://" tag from the beginning of the URL.

Wheelis, Mark. "Investigating Disease Outbreaks Under a Protocol to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention." Emerging Infectious Diseases , vol. 6, no. 6, 2000, pp. 595-600, wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/6/6/00-0607_article. Accessed 8 Feb. 2009.

When citing a physical object that you experienced firsthand, identify the place of location.

Matisse, Henri. The Swimming Pool. 1952, Museum of Modern Art, New York .

Optional elements

The ninth edition is designed to be as streamlined as possible. The author should include any information that helps readers easily identify the source, without including unnecessary information that may be distracting. The following is a list of optional elements that can be included in a documented source at the writer’s discretion.

Date of original publication:

If a source has been published on more than one date, the writer may want to include both dates if it will provide the reader with necessary or helpful information.

Erdrich, Louise. Love Medicine. 1984. Perennial-Harper, 1993.

City of publication:

The seventh edition handbook required the city in which a publisher is located, but the eighth edition states that this is only necessary in particular instances, such as in a work published before 1900. Since pre-1900 works were usually associated with the city in which they were published, your documentation may substitute the city name for the publisher’s name.

Thoreau, Henry David. Excursions . Boston, 1863.

Date of access:

When you cite an online source, the MLA Handbook recommends including a date of access on which you accessed the material, since an online work may change or move at any time.

As mentioned above, while the MLA handbook recommends including URLs when you cite online sources, you should always check with your instructor or editor and include URLs at their discretion.

A DOI, or digital object identifier, is a series of digits and letters that leads to the location of an online source. Articles in journals are often assigned DOIs to ensure that the source is locatable, even if the URL changes. If your source is listed with a DOI, use that instead of a URL.

Creating in-text citations using the previous (eighth) edition

Although the MLA handbook is currently in its ninth edition, some information about citing in the text using the older (eighth) edition is being retained. The in-text citation is a brief reference within your text that indicates the source you consulted. It should properly attribute any ideas, paraphrases, or direct quotations to your source, and should direct readers to the entry in the Works Cited list. For the most part, an in-text citation is the author’s name and the page number (or just the page number, if the author is named in the sentence) in parentheses :

When creating in-text citations for media that has a runtime, such as a movie or podcast, include the range of hours, minutes and seconds you plan to reference. For example: (00:02:15-00:02:35).

Again, your goal is to attribute your source and provide a reference without interrupting your text. Your readers should be able to follow the flow of your argument without becoming distracted by extra information.

9 Best Ways to Write a Date and Time Range in a Sentence

Writing date and time ranges don’t have to be challenging in your writing. Some people are worried about them because they often include numbers (i.e. “June 13th”), but you don’t have to be alarmed. This article will demonstrate the best ways to write date and time ranges.

The preferred ways to write it include “January 3-7 (Monday-Friday), 2022, at 09:00 a.m. – 05:00 p.m.,” “Monday-Friday, January 3-7, 2022, 09:00 a.m. – 05:00 p.m. daily,” and “M-F, 09:00-17:00, 3-7 Jan, 2022.” All of these options provide just the right level of detail to help you clarify ranges.

January 3-7 (Monday-Friday), 2022, At 09:00 a.m. – 05:00 p.m.

This phrase is a great way of showing a time and date range. It covers all the necessary information, starting with the month and dates. From there, it goes to the specific days, the year, and the time.

Everything you could possibly need is covered when this format is used. It’s also sufficiently formal, allowing you to use it in any situation whether you’re at work or in a more informal setting.

Since every detail is covered, you’ll often find that people don’t need further clarification or information. They won’t need to miss out on the event because they’ll know exactly when it is taking place.

I think it’s set for January 3-7 (Monday-Friday), 2022, from 09:00 a.m. – 05:00 p.m. Does that ring any bells for you?
It’s going to have to be held on June 10-14 (Tuesday-Saturday), 2020, from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. That’s my final offer.
Can we do February 8-12 (Monday-Friday), 2022, at 09:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. That’s a good window of time for me to get this done.

Monday-Friday, January 3-7, 2022, 09:00 a.m. – 05:00 p.m. Daily

In the spirit of good detail, this phrase also works well. This time, the days of the week come first (which is more natural to most speakers). After that, the dates come, then it finishes with the time again.

This format is more traditional in spoken English. It’s common for days to come before dates because people are used to using things like “Monday-Friday” when they are casually speaking to people.

Monday-Friday, January 3-7, 2022, 09:00 a.m. – 05:00 p.m. daily. That’s when this will be held . Be there!
I think they said Monday-Friday, March 13-17, 2022, 09:00 a.m. – 05:00 p.m. daily. That’s about as good as it’s going to get, I’m afraid.
You will have to be there on Wednesday-Sunday, August 20-24, 2022, 09:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. daily. That’s what we can offer right now.

M-F, 09:00-17:00, 3-7 Jan 2022

If you want a slightly more crisp time and date range, this phrase is a good one to use. You can abbreviate the days of the week to their starting letters (M-F). Also, it’s wise to use a digital clock when you don’t want to specify the “a.m.” or “p.m.” times in your message.

Shortening the month name (January to “Jan”) is a good way of getting straight to the point as well.

This format is great because it still covers all of the relevant information. However, it does it in a more concise way, which more people will respond to.

I can do M-F, 09:00-17:00, 3-7 Feb 2022. What do you say about that? I think we have to settle on this right away.
Are you going to be free M-W, 09:00-13:00, 6-10 Jun 2022? I think that’s the only time that we have on offer right now.
I will be there M-F, 09:00-14:00, 4-8 Mar 2022. That’s about all the time we need to make sure that everything goes right here.

3-7 Jan 2022 (M-F 09:00-17:00)

This is another good way of using digital time over an analog one. Here, “January” is again shortened to “Jan” (and any month can do the same). Also, Monday and Friday are abbreviated to their starting letters, and a digital time frame is used.

It’s just another way of wording the above phrase. Some people prefer to get the dates out of the way first and then follow them with the days (rather than putting the days before the dates in the previous section).

We’re going to go from 3-7 Jan 2022 (M-F 09:00-17:00). Do you think you’re going to be able to come along with us?
I want to set this for 20-24 Nov 2022 (M-F 10:00-14:00). I’m not sure if there’s anything specific I need to bring, but I’m happy to learn.
You will go from 10-14 Jul 2022 (M-F 12:00-20:00). That’s my final offer, and I expect you to follow through with my request here.

This/Next Monday To Friday Between 09:00 a.m. And 05:00 p.m.

This phrase works well when you’re speaking to someone in passing. If you’re only letting them know that something is happening, you might not need to set up a formal way for them to record the date or time range.

“This” and “next” are great ways of letting someone know the dates of something without specifying them. The assumption is that “this Monday to Friday” implies the days that come up next. “Next Monday to Friday” implies the following week after that.

As long as you know the differences between “this” and “next,” you’ll have an easy time understanding this time and date range.

It’s going to be running this Monday to Friday, between 09:00 a.m. and 05:00 p.m. We hope that you’ll be able to come along!
Join in! It’s next Monday to Friday, between 10:00 a.m. and 02:00 p.m. It’s going to be some of the most fun we’ve ever had around here.
No, you’ll find it starts next Monday to Wednesday, between 12:00 p.m. and 08:00 p.m. Are you going to be able to attend?

From 3-7 January at 09:00 – 17:00 Daily

Here, the dates are reintroduced, but we’re still using a digital time frame to help people understand when something occurs. “From” is a prepositional choice that shows that something lasts between two different dates.

I thought you said it was from 3-7 January at 09:00 – 17:00 daily! Why isn’t anything starting yet? Am I getting my dates confused?
Yes, we’ve set it from 11-15 February at 10:00-18:00 daily. It’s going to be the most exciting event we’ve had here in a long time.
I’ll be there from 22-26 March from 12:00-17:00 daily. I think that’s all I can manage, but I’ll see if I’m able to stick around for more.

Every Day This/Next Week

You can use “every day this/next week” when you are speaking colloquially with someone. If the week in question is already specified, then you don’t often have to take it any further than that.

People will not get confused by your meaning if you set a date like this. If you say “every day this week,” it implies that you mean every weekday (unless you specify otherwise).

Of course, we’ve got it set for every day this week! We hope that’s going to be more than enough excitement for you.
It’s on every day this week at the same time! Hopefully, you’ll be able to bring a few extra people along with you next time .
You’ll find us here every day next week! Just ask for me by name, and I’ll be sure to come and help you out with it!

January 3-7, Monday-Friday, Between 09:00 And 05:00

This setting is a good choice, but you might notice that we’ve removed “a.m.” and “p.m.” It works well because it assumes that people already aspect it to run from the morning to the afternoon.

After all, saying 09:00 – 05:00 and meaning from morning to morning would be a very strange setting for an event. Most events don’t run for almost twenty-four hours, which is why you don’t always need to determine the time with “a.m.” and “p.m.” clarifications.

We’ve set it for January 3-7, Monday-Friday, between 09:00 and 05:00. We really hope you can all make it. It wouldn’t be the same without you.
June 13th-17th, Tuesday-Saturday, between 10:00 and 06:00. It’s the only time that we’re able to get this done, I’m afraid.
It will be from December 20th-24th, Monday-Friday, between 07:00 and 10:00. Are you going to be able to make it or not?

The 3rd To The 7th Of This/Next Month, 09:00 – 05:00 Daily

This phrase is written out in a more streamlined way. The dash is removed and replaced with “to the.” It’s slightly more formal because of this, but it still removes the use of “a.m.” and “p.m.” because it assumes that people already understand when something runs.

This event will run from the 3rd to the 7th of this month, 09:00 – 05:00 daily. Be there, or be square!
We will host this from the 3rd to the 7th of next month. It’s 10:00 – 2:00 daily, so we hope you’ll be able to make it!
The 13th to the 17th of next month will be the dates of the event. It will run from 12:00 to 3:00 daily. Will you be attending?

How to write the date correctly

Writing dates in English can be done in a variety of ways. Here are some common ways to write dates in British and American English, or you can skip straight to tips for writing dates for IELTS by clicking the jump links.

Content Tags

What is the correct date format in English? How you do this usually depends on whether you write a formal letter or an informal note, or whether your use the British or American date format. As you can see from the examples below, there are a number of ways in which you can write the same date. A general rule: the more complicated the style of date, the more formal it is.

The date format in British English

In British English, which is the type of English mainly used in Australia, the day is followed by the month, which is then followed by the year. The 6th day of the month September, in the year 2019, might be written in full (in order of complexity):

6 September

6 September 2019

6th September 2019

the 6th of September 2019

the 6th of September, 2019

The last two date formats are more formal. The “the” and “of” are optional but if you do use them, you must add both “the” and “of.” It is incorrect to say only “6th of September” or “the 6th September.”

As for the year, commas are not necessary when you write the date in British English, but you can if you prefer this style.

If you wish to add the name of the day, it should come before the date, and should either be separated by a comma or joined by “the” and “of.”

Saturday, 13 April 2019

Saturday the 13th of April, 2019

How to write the date in numbers?

If you prefer to abbreviate the date, you can use the following style in British English. Again, the day comes first, then the month, then the year.

6/9/19 or 6.9.19 or 6-9-19

06/09/2019 or 06.09.2019 or 06-09-2019

9Sept2019 or 6-Sept-19

The most commonly used separator in the all-numeric date format is a forward slash (/). However, you can also use a hyphen (-) or a period (.).

The date format in American English

When you prefer to write the date in American English, usually the month comes before the day, followed by the year. If we use the same example as before: The 6th day of the month September, in the year 2019, then the date in American English should be written as:

Sept 6

September 6

September 6, 2019

Monday, September 6, 2019

Dates written as April the 13th or April 13th are not incorrect, but are less common in American English.

In American English, if you want to write the date in all-numeric, you will need to use the following style. Here, too, the month comes first, then the day, then the year.

04/13/19 or 04.13.19 or 04-13-19

04/13/2019 or 04.13.2019 or 04-13-2019

Apr. 13, 2019

Other date formats

The international standard .

In an effort to avoid miscommunication between people using the British date format and those using the American date format, an International Standard was developed. If an Australian writes February 3, 2019 as 03/02/2019, but an American writes the same date as 02/03/2019, who’s right? The international standard recommends writing the date as year, then month, then the day: YYYY-MM-DD. So if both Australians and Americans used this, they would both write the date as 2019-02-03.

Writing the date this way avoids confusion by placing the year first. Much of Asia uses this form when writing the date. For example:

January 1, 2018 would be written as 2018 January 1. (Did you notice there’s no comma?).

Using the correct date format for IELTS

Whatever the format, in British English, dates are usually written in the order day – month – year, while in American English they are written month – day – year. For IELTS, you can use both date formats.

The correct date format for IELTS Writing

For IELTS, it doesn’t matter if you use American English spelling, or British English. Both are acceptable. However, you should pay attention to the tone of your letter: writing an email to a friend is different than writing a formal letter to your employer. The use of your date format should be appropriate to tone of the letter. For example, in a formal letter, you wouldn’t use contractions (you should write cannot instead of can’t, or would not instead of wouldn’t). If the IELTS Writing task tells you to start with “Dear Sir or Madam” (which indicates it’s a formal letter), you should try to use a formal datestyle.

IELTS Writing tip: With the exception of May and June, months can be shortened as follows: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, Jul, Aug, Sept/Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec.

In formal American English or British English, you never want to omit the year (e.g. 20 November or November 20). You also want to avoid a purely numerical form for the date (e.g. 20/11/2019 or 11/20/2019). For example, if you were to write a formal business letter, you’d write out the entire date, including the full month. In British English, you could write the date as 6th September 2019. In American English, you could use September 6, 2019.

IELTS Writing tip: Remember, the first letter of each month is always written in capital letters.

Dates in informal writing

If your task requires a less formal response (for example a letter to a friend), a shorter date format can be used. This typically uses only numbers separated by full stops or slashes, rather than writing out the month. Shortening the year is also acceptable, such as in the following:

23.10.19

23/10/2019

You can also write out the date but shorten the month to save space:

8 December 2019 → 8 Dec 2019

7 October → 7 Oct

If you’re not sure about your IELTS Writing, get in touch with the professionals and get some coaching to increase your IELTS score.

The correct date format for IELTS Listening

The first tip for your listening test: Be careful to note word limits. If there is an instruction in the question: “Write no more than two words,” writing more than two words will mean you will receive no marks at all for your answer, even if some of the words are correct.

When you are writing dates as an answer to any question, remember that there are several correct ways to write them (e.g. 24th April, April 24 and 24 April are all correct).

A second tip: When writing the date in the IELTS Listening test, you can write dates as numbers such as 19/02 or 02/19 (for 19 February). This eliminates spelling mistakes and complies with questions that only allow 1-word answers.

The correct date format for IELTS Speaking

Saying a date in English is sometimes different from how you would write the date. In spoken English, we always use ordinal numbers for dates. Ordinal numbers are numbers that show the order or sequence. Normally a “th” appears at the end of the number. For example, four → fourth (or 4 → 4th) and two → second (or 2 → 2nd).

As you’ve seen before, in written English you may write a normal (cardinal) number without the “th” or “st” etc. after it. Even if it is not written, the ordinal number is still said in spoken English. In American English, it is not common to put the -th after the number in written English.

Speaking test tip: Practise the pronunciation of numbers to be sure that your meaning is clear. For example, many numbers can sound very similar when spoken, so be sure to say them clearly, e.g. ‘Thirty’ and ‘Thirteen’, ‘Forty’ and ‘Fourteen’, ‘Fifty’ and ‘Fifteen’, etc.

Let’s have a look at how you can say the date correctly in your IELTS Speaking test:

30 March 1993

American English: ‘March the thirtieth, nineteen ninety-three’ or ‘March thirtieth, nineteen ninety-three’

British English: ‘the thirtieth of March, nineteen ninety-three’

1 December 2017

American English: ‘December the first, twenty seventeen’ or ‘December first, two thousand and seventeen’

British English: ‘the first of December, twenty seventeen’

How do you say years in English?

When you are talking about years, this is how you would say the year correctly in English:

1100 = ‘eleven hundred’

1309 = ‘thirteen hundred and nine’ or ‘thirteen ‘oh’ nine’

1678 = ‘sixteen (hundred and) seventy-eight’

1910 = ‘nineteen (hundred and) ten’

1946 = ‘nineteen (hundred and) forty-six’

2000 = ‘two thousand’

2007 = ‘two thousand and seven’ or ‘twenty ‘oh’ seven’

2019 = ‘two thousand and nineteen’ or ‘twenty nineteen’

A Proclamation on Transgender Day of Visibility, 2024

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect Union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives.

I am proud that my Administration has stood for justice from the start, working to ensure that the LGBTQI+ community can live openly, in safety, with dignity and respect. I am proud to have appointed transgender leaders to my Administration and to have ended the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in our military. I am proud to have signed historic Executive Orders that strengthen civil rights protections in housing, employment, health care, education, the justice system, and more. I am proud to have signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law, ensuring that every American can marry the person they love.

Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation. Whether serving their communities or in the military, raising families or running businesses, they help America thrive. They deserve, and are entitled to, the same rights and freedoms as every other American, including the most fundamental freedom to be their true selves. But extremists are proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families — silencing teachers; banning books; and even threatening parents, doctors, and nurses with prison for helping parents get care for their children. These bills attack our most basic American values: the freedom to be yourself, the freedom to make your own health care decisions, and even the right to raise your own child. It is no surprise that the bullying and discrimination that transgender Americans face is worsening our Nation’s mental health crisis, leading half of transgender youth to consider suicide in the past year. At the same time, an epidemic of violence against transgender women and girls, especially women and girls of color, continues to take too many lives. Let me be clear: All of these attacks are un-American and must end. No one should have to be brave just to be themselves.

At the same time, my Administration is working to stop the bullying and harassment of transgender children and their families. The Department of Justice has taken action to push back against extreme and un-American State laws targeting transgender youth and their families and the Department of Justice is partnering with law enforcement and community groups to combat hate and violence. My Administration is also providing dedicated emergency mental health support through our nationwide suicide and crisis lifeline — any LGBTQI+ young person in need can call “988” and press “3” to speak with a counselor trained to support them. We are making public services more accessible for transgender Americans, including with more inclusive passports and easier access to Social Security benefits. There is much more to do. I continue to call on the Congress to pass the Equality Act, to codify civil rights protections for all LGBTQI+ Americans.

Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans: You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility. I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-eighth.

JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.

Abbreviating the Date. In less formal writing, or when the date is not part of the main text in a document, you can abbreviate the month to save space. For instance, "August 20, 2019" could be abbreviated to "Aug. 20, 2019.". The same can be done with days (e.g., "Tuesday" becomes "Tue."). Typically, the first three letters are ...

Sometimes, the month in the date can be shortened to save space: 14 January 2012 → 14 Jan. 2012. 9 October → 9 Oct. However, generally in formal writing it's better to use the longer format for clarity. Likewise, when including a date in an essay you should usually write it out (e.g. 21 April 2016) rather than use the numbers-only style.

Writing Out the Date. In very formal writing, it's often best to write out the date in full. The most formal version of this may include using an ordinal signifier ('th', 'rd' or 'st') after the date, like this: The meeting is on the 23 rd of October 2016. However, in most cases, you can just give a date, month and year:

To write the exact date, spell out the month, and write the day and the year in numerals. The American date format is month-day-year, with a comma between day and year (May 1, 2022), while the British format is day-month-year, with no comma between month and year (1 May 2022).Don't use ordinal numbers in dates in formal texts (May 1st, 2022).You may also show the day of the week (Sunday, May ...

Here are some tips to be mindful of when writing the date for the IELTS exam (informal): It's okay to write the date in numbers; Abbreviated months can be used to save space; Shortening the year to two digits is acceptable; Tips for writing dates in the IELTS Listening Exam: You can write the dates as a number to avoid errors; You can write a ...

First, write the month, then the day, and then the year. Examples are: Sep 10. September 10. 09/10/2022. When using American English, separate the day and the year using a comma. If you are including the weekday, place a comma after it as well. A comma is not required if you are using British English.

Learn how to write the date in different parts of the world and various situations. Find out when to use a comma and when to abbreviate. ... if you were to write a formal business letter, you'd write out the entire date, including the full month (January 4, 2005). Writing it out in such a way allows the notation to be understood by everyone.

Dates are typically written in the order of day - month - year in British English. When you're writing the year in words, in British English, you write and after thousand when discussing a year after 2000. If you're adding the day of the week to the date, it comes before the date. You should separate the name of the day from the date by ...

When you need to write the entire date, place a comma after the day. Here's what it looks like: July 4, 1776. When we see the date, we read the day in our heads, or out loud, as ordinal numbers. However, it's not necessary to actually use ordinal numbers (e.g. 4th) when you write the day.

Harvard College Writing Center 5 Asking Analytical Questions When you write an essay for a course you are taking, you are being asked not only to create a product (the essay) but, more importantly, to go through a process of thinking more deeply about a question or problem related to the course. By writing about a

4. Include "the" and "of" when spelling out dates in British English. If you are writing out the date in sentence format, place "the" before the day and "of" before the month. It's important to use both together, and not just one or the other. Correct possibilities include: [4] The 9th of October.

Title. Write your name, the instructor's name, your class, and the date in the upper left corner of the 1st page. Make the title centered and place it after the heading information in the same font as the rest of your paper. Create a separate title page. Make your title centered and written in boldface.

In the first format, month-day-year, a comma should be placed between the day and the year. Note that when the month is spelled out using the month-day-year format, only cardinal numbers (1, 2, 3…) should be used, not ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd…). The exception to the above rule is when "of" is used.

MLA Date Format | Dates in the Works Cited & Main Text. Published on July 7, 2021 by Jack Caulfield.Revised on March 5, 2024. In MLA Works Cited entries, publication dates are presented in day-month-year order. If the name of the month has five or more letters, abbreviate it to the first three.

Writers should write out the month, give a space before writing the numeral for the day, follow that with a comma and space, and then, write the numeral for the year followed by a period. Correct: Jaws was released in the United States on June 20, 1975. Incorrect: Jaws was released in the United States on June 20 1975.

Date format in American English. The format in American English is month-date-year, and a comma should be inserted between the date and year; for example, May 15, 2022. The date may also be expressed in figures such as 05/15/22 or 05/15/2022. Where the day of the week is used, the format should be Sunday, May 25, 2022.

5. Don't use passive voice. Passive voice is wordy, but being formal has nothing to do with wordiness. Don't use thesaurus words you don't fully understand. Big words don't make your writing sound more formal, and this can backfire when you pick a word that doesn't mean what you think it means.

Publication date. The same source may have been published on more than one date, such as an online version of an original source. For example, a television series might have aired on a broadcast network on one date, but released on Netflix on a different date. When the source has more than one date, it is sufficient to use the date that is most ...

Writing date and time ranges don't have to be challenging in your writing. Some people are worried about them because they often include numbers (i.e. "June 13th"), but you don't have to be alarmed.

You also want to avoid a purely numerical form for the date (e.g. 20/11/2019 or 11/20/2019). For example, if you were to write a formal business letter, you'd write out the entire date, including the full month. In British English, you could write the date as 6th September 2019. In American English, you could use September 6, 2019.

11 Best Airbnbs in Hong Kong

Posted: February 9, 2024 | Last updated: February 9, 2024

Hong Kong has no shortage of world-class hotels —and who can argue with fluffy bathrobes and room service after a long flight? But if you’re hoping to experience a taste of local life in Hong Kong, Airbnb might be the way to go.

Properties are located in all corners of the city, from the frenetic streets of Central and Causeway Bay to the idyllic shores of Lantau Island. Make yourself at home in a nostalgic apartment in the heart of Soho, a cozy one-bedroom in Wan Chai, or a sleek studio in Jordan. And when you need to recharge, head over to Aberdeen, Cheung Chau, or Shek O to experience the city’s natural beauty and a slower pace of life.

As you might have guessed, apartments in Hong Kong’s urban areas tend to run small—very small—so we recommend choosing an Airbnb for its location, amenities, and unique flavor rather than square footage. Without further ado, we’ve shortlisted 11 of our favorite vacation rentals in Hong Kong for every occasion to help you choose the perfect home base. Before you fly, check out our Hong Kong city guide , featuring all the top shops , dim sum spots , markets , and day trip ideas.

Airbnb 11291417

Bed & bath: 1 bedroom, 1 bath Top amenities: Contemporary decor, king-size bed, premium appliances

One of our top picks for solo travelers, this Airbnb is surrounded by local eateries and shops in Jordan, one of Hong Kong’s most vibrant neighborhoods. The minimally designed studio features warm woods, crisp white linens, and cream decor. We love the high-end touches, like a king-size bed, smart TOTO toilet, Miele washer and dryer, and fiber-optic Wi-Fi. Fair warning: it’s a snug space with an exposed toilet and shower, so choose a travel buddy you’re very comfortable with. The MTR and high-speed rail are just steps away, while the West Kowloon Cultural District, Tin Hau Temple, Temple Street Night Market, and scenic Sky Corridor (atop the West Kowloon train station) are all within walking distance.

Airbnb 34868123

Bed & bath: 2 bedrooms, 1 bath Top amenities: Racecourse views, six-seat dining room, quiet neighborhood

This elegant home is a rare find. Set in Happy Valley, a quiet area just south of Causeway Bay, you’ll have everything you need for a fuss-free stay, from two bedrooms (with one queen-size bed and one king-size air mattress) to the six-person dining room, sleek modern kitchen, and spacious living room with a Bose sound system. But the best part has to be the views : Happy Valley Racecourse by day, dramatic sunsets at twilight, and the glittering skyline at night. Grocery shopping and housekeeping are included, and a private chef can be arranged for an extra fee.

Airbnb 989439373557647500

Bed & bath: 2 bedrooms, 1 bath Top amenities: Views of Tai Kwun, traditional teaware, old-world charm

Channel the Hong Kong of yesteryear in this nostalgic Airbnb in the heart of Soho. Enjoy breakfast with a view of Tai Kwun—a 19th-century police compound living its second life as an art, culture, and dining destination—before exploring the historic neighborhood, where antique shops along Hollywood Road, PMQ design center, and Man Mo Temple await. You’ll find great restaurants on every corner, plus a petit kitchen should you need to cook. While staying here, take advantage of the traditional Chinese tea set and workout gear in the living room. Note that there’s no elevator, so you’ll need to carry your luggage up several flights of stairs.

Airbnb 12800443

Bed & bath: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths Top amenities: 5-minute walk to the beach, nearby hiking trails, hot tub, rooftop

When traveling with family, you’ll want first dibs on Superhost Keiko’s “Blue House” on Lantau Island. The bohemian three-bedroom space bursts with personality, from whimsical dreamcatchers and eclectic artwork to musical instruments galore. Take advantage of the nearby nature trails, waterfalls, and beaches—a gorgeous stretch of golden sand, Pui O, is just a five-minute walk away. Inside the home, unwind with a long soak in the hot tub or a sundowner on the rooftop. It’s worth noting that the house is kid-friendly , with lots of books, toys, a high chair, kids’ dinnerware, and a playroom. As an added perk, a live-in housekeeper is on hand to help with laundry, cleaning, and grocery shopping.

Airbnb 9534473

Bed & bath: Studio, 2 baths Top amenities: Harbor views, flexible sleeping arrangements, well-connected location

For those itching to explore the West Kowloon Cultural District, where M+ and the Hong Kong Palace Museum are located, this freshly renovated apartment deserves a spot on your wishlist. Although it has an open-plan studio layout (not much privacy) and is ideal for a solo traveler or a couple, if you need to squeeze in a couple of extra people, the 850-square-foot space is large enough to fit four beds (one king-size bed, two queen sofa beds, and a twin sofa bed), a dining area, and two bathrooms. Perks include everything from amazing harbor views to motorized black-out curtains, fiber-optic Wi-Fi, smart TOTO toilets, and “dazzling white” luxury linens, as one reviewer commented. The location checks all the boxes, too, ensuring easy access to the MTR, temples, local restaurants, markets, and world-class shopping.

Airbnb 556913445113916071

Bed & bath: 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths Top amenities: Complimentary butler and cooking services, multiple outdoor decks

It’s impossible not to have a good time on “Oasis,” a 3,000-square-foot yacht docked in the historic Aberdeen harbor on Hong Kong Island’s South side. Brimming with luxuries big and small, the glamorous three-bedroom Airbnb is ideal for a family trip, thanks to the massive open-plan kitchen, dining room, and living room. Go hard with karaoke or chill out with a barbecue on one of the terraces. The icing on the cake? Superhost Matthew offers complimentary butler and cooking services—with free beer thrown in for good measure. Yachting and wake-surfing services can be arranged for an added cost.

Airbnb 42902001

Bed & bath: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths Top amenities: Breakfast provided, unique design, spacious living area

After hitting the boutiques in Hong Kong’s fashion capital, the dense and lively Causeway Bay district, unwind in this unique two-bedroom apartment. It’s surprisingly spacious, with two double bedrooms, a dining room, a living room (with a projector screen, no less), and earthy hues and sculptural accent walls. As a bonus, you can sneak a peek of Victoria Harbour from the terrace. While staying here, you’ll be minutes from the city’s top restaurants and the MTR.

Airbnb 936612660899155876

Bed & bath: 1 bedroom, 1 bath Top amenities: King-size bed, plush living room, central location

This convenient Airbnb has a soothing blue-gray palette, as well as relaxing coastal artwork. A plush sofa and Samsung Bluetooth sound system invite you to cuddle up in the living room, while a king-size bed and room-darkening shades ensure a good night’s sleep after exploring the busy Wan Chai neighborhood. This Airbnb is in the heart of it all, close to the MTR, historic tram (aka the “ding ding”), restaurants, bars, and must-visit destinations like the Blue House, Star Street, and Hung Shing Temple.

Airbnb 726308559933008239

Bed & bath: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths Top amenities: Serene location, sunset views, large outdoor terrace

Experience another side of Hong Kong on Cheung Chau, a photogenic isle that swaps hectic city life for open-air seafood restaurants, quiet hiking trails, and crescent beaches . Make the most of the peaceful atmosphere at this two-bedroom house, set atop a steep set of stairs. Inside, find a modern open kitchen, spacious living room, projector screen, and artsy decor, while an outdoor terrace offers a plancha (flat-top griddle) and hot tub with spectacular sunset views. When you’re ready to rejoin society, restaurants, shops, and beaches are about a 15-minute walk away, while a 35-minute ferry ride will take you back to Central. Another calling card? Daily housekeeping is included.

Airbnb 764701574202379679

Bed & bath: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths Top amenities: Warm decor, dedicated workspace, king-size bed

You’ll feel right at home in this recently refurbished two-bedroom in Mid-Levels, a sought-after neighborhood sandwiched between Central and The Peak. Stretching 800 square feet—large by Hong Kong standards—the apartment feels calming with beige and turquoise hues, while a king-size bed elevates the primary bedroom. Remote workers will appreciate the quiet office, which serves as a make-shift second bedroom (air mattress only). Step outside to find yourself just a few minutes from the iconic Central–Mid-Levels escalator, flanked by excellent restaurants and boutiques on either side.

Airbnb 759144758541368736

Bed & bath: 1 bedroom, 1.5 baths Top amenities: Rooftop with ocean views, beach access, village location

Need a break from the busy city? You’ve come to the right place. About a 20-minute drive from Central, Shek O village is known for its photogenic beaches, low-key restaurants, and hiking routes like Cape D’Aguilar and Dragon’s Back. Whether relaxing by the water or hitting the trails, this one-bedroom beach house will be a refuge of relaxation, thanks to its open-plan kitchen and dining room with a terrace, boho-chic living room, and panoramic rooftop. The hosts have thought of literally everything, offering beach essentials, exercise gear, bikes, a ping pong table, a grill, and even a Dyson hair dryer. Better yet, this house is one of the few in Hong Kong that welcomes dogs—and there’s even a dog-friendly beach around the corner.
