Unit 8 When is your birthday?
Section A

When is your birthday?
本句是由when 引导的特殊疑问句，用于询问某人的生日。答语为“It’s …(日期).或My /Her / His/ birthday is …(日期).
My birthday is on …我的生日在……（天）
考点：1.“on” 后跟具体的某一天、星期或节日。 2.“on” 后跟具体某一天的上午、下午 或晚上；on或跟带有修饰性词的上午、下午或晚上。 3.如果只有年份和月份就用介词“in”
英语中日期的表达法
常按照“月、 日、 年”的顺序表达。注：月份在任何情况下都要大写。
例如:2013年3月8日 March eighth,2013. 可缩写成
March 8th, 2013
日期的缩写可以采用基数词和序数词两种形式。例如： March 8th也可以写成March 8.但是，日期的读法只能用序数词的形式。
例如： October 31st（October 31）读作October（the）thirty-first .
August 26th（August 26）读作August（the）twenty-sixth .
10月2日 October second. (October 2nd)
10月3日 October third.（October 3rd)
