Hi, everyone.
In this lesson, you'll practice giving the date.
In the next minute, you'll be challenged to give the date of an event.
First, let's look at some examples.
Jorge, ¿cuándo es tu viaje de negocios?
Mi viaje de negocios es el ocho de octubre.
To ask when an event is, say...
¿Cuándo es?
followed by the event name.
To give a specific date, say the event followed by:
es el
plus the number
de
and the month.
For example...
Es el ocho de octubre.
Listen to a few more examples.
¿Cuándo es tu cumpleaños?
Mi cumpleaños es el veintiséis de noviembre.

El viaje de negocios es el trece de junio.
Let's practice.
