Introduction
In this present work of English subject is taking about number and date. In the number
part we will talk cardinal and ordinal numbers. Number is a count or measurement.
They are really an idea in our minds. We write or talk about numbers using numerals
such as "5" or "five". We could also hold up 5 fingers, or tap the table 5 times. These
are all different ways of referring to the same number.

Numbers and dates
Number is a mathematical object used to count, measure, and label. The original
examples are the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and so forth.

Ordinal numbers
Ordinal numbers are: First, second, third, fourth, etc. First, second, and third are
irregular, but we form the others by adding -th to the cardinal number,
e.g. ten- tenth, or changing the ending –ty to –tieth, e.g. forty -fortieth. When we use
figures, we write the cardinal number and add the last two letters of the ordinal number.
E.g. 4 + th = 4th.

Dates
Date is defined as a particularly day of the month or day, month and year or a social
outing between two people. An example of date is October 9, 1925. ... The definition of
date is to belong to a particular time period or to assign a time period to something or to
go out with someone due to romantic interests
There are the three most common ways of writing the date in English.
Cardinal number + month: 3 May 15 August
Ordinal number + month: 3rd May 15th August
Month + cardinal number: May 3 August 15
Ordinal numbers, e.g. 15th, are becoming less usual.
‘The third of May’ ‘the fifteenth of August’

Telling the time and dates
Some countries, including the US, Canada, and Australia, use the 12-hour clock format
including am and pm. What do these abbreviations mean? Is midnight am or pm?
Telling the time in 12 and 24 hour clock
The 12-hour system divides the 24 hours of a day into two periods lasting 12 hours
each. The first 12-hour period is designated as am. It runs from midnight to noon. The
second period, marked pm, covers the 12 hours from noon to midnight.
The abbreviation-ns am and pm derive from Latin:
AM = Ante meridiem: Before noon
PM = Post meridiem: After noon
Using numbers from 1 to 12, followed by am or pm, the 12-hour clock system identifies
all 24 hours of the day. For example, 5 am is early in the morning (five o’clock), and 5
pm is late in the afternoon (seventeen o’clock); 1 am is one hour after midnight, while
11 pm is one hour before midnight.
However, most digital clocks and most sources, including time and designate midnight
as 12 am and noon as 12 pm. Although the precise moment of noon falls in neither
category, the hour succeeding it, from 12:00:01 to 12:59:59, is clearly after noon.To
avoid any confusion when referring to the precise moment of noon or midnight, we
recommend using the designations 12 noon and 12 midnight instead.

Conclusion
Ending this work we conclude that numbers can be represented in language with
number words. More universally, individual numbers can be represented by symbols,
called numerals; for example, "5" is a numeral that represents the number five. As only
a relatively small number of symbols can be memorized, basic numerals are commonly
organized in a numeral system, which is an organized way to represent any number.
