A comma is a piece of punctuation used between words or numbers in a sentence.
When writing a date, we use a comma to separate the day of the month from the number for the year.
Today is June 6, 2023.
Do you see the comma after June 6? We always use a comma between the number telling the day of the month and the number telling the year. Here are some more examples:
The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776.
Pearl Harbor in Hawaii was bombed on December 7, 1941.
Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809.
Always use a comma between the day of the month and the year.
▶Now you try it. Insert a comma where it belongs in this sentence. My friend is getting married on August 12 2023. Did you put a comma into the correct place in the date? Good for you!
