How to use French months
- French month names stay lowercase: janvier, not Janvier.
- A date is le plus the number plus the month: le 14 août. There is no de between the number and the month.
- Summer and autumn take l' because they start with a vowel sound: l'été and l'automne.
Common mistakes
- Capitalizing the month in le 14 août.
- Inserting de, as in le 14 de août. French uses le 14 août.
Common questions
- Are French months capitalized?
- No. Write janvier in lowercase unless it begins a sentence.
- How do you say August 14 in French?
- le 14 août.
