English Grammar
Hi Friends, Which one is right: August First or First of August?

Question

Answer

There are three possibilities in spoken English:

1. the first of August
2. August the first
3. August first

Both 1 and 2 are normal in British English.  Number 3 is never used by British English speakers.

I believe that 3 is standard in American English, while 1 is reserved for formal and written contexts.

Answer

Both are right, but "First of August" is more formal.
To friends: "Do you have the day off on August 1st?"
Written in a wedding invitation: "Please join us on the first of August to witness the wedding of John and Mary"
