"They both have second april as their birthday". Please check
 
Either "April second" or "the second of April" is how you would say it. Note that "April" is a proper noun and needs to be capitalized.

It would normally be written as "April 2" or "2 April" (depending on culture).
 
Dates are usually written with numbers e.g. 2nd April (British English) or April 2nd (Am Eng) but, at least in British English, read as "the second of April". That's to say, the "the" and "of" are omitted in written English. Hope this helps:-D
 
Americans usually say "April second" and sometimes "April the second."

We say it other ways, as well.

Note also that the British write 2/4/16 but Americans write 4/2/16.
 
AmE style: April 20 2016, or in careless writing, April 202016.

Much better in BrE: 20 April 2016, even in careless writing it's clearer, 20 April2016.
 
AmE style: April 20 2016, or in careless writing, April 202016.

AmE uses a comma. April 20, 2016.
 
Okay, they both have April the second as their birthday.
