How to Use Commas in Dates

Using Commas in Dates

The video explains comma usage in the month–date–year format:

• When a date includes a month, day, and year, place a comma between the day and the year: May 10, 2012.
• When including the day of the week, use a comma after the weekday and another after the date: Friday, March 1, 2024.
• When writing only a month and year, do not use a comma: May 2025.

Date formats vary between countries, but the examples focus on the month–date–year order. The lesson ends with a short quiz featuring Monday, January 15, 2024 and July 4, 1776.
