    Default "the day in a week" and "the date in a month"

    Could someone please show me some ways to ask for "the day in a week" and "the date in a month"?
    Thanks so much!

    Hi, trueheart!

    If I understand your question correctly...

    What day (of the week) is it today? (the day in a week)
    What's the date today? (the date)

    I'm not a native speaker, so please wait for native speakers' reply.

    They are fine, though we would not normally use 'of the week' in the first question.

    Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
    Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
    If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.
