born (on) 17 April 1991

Hi,

1- I was born on 17 April 1991.
2- I was born in 17 April 1991.
3- I was born 17 April 1991.

Should I use 'on' or 'in' in such a sentence above? I think 'on' sounds OK and also that I should put a comma after 'April.' I am not sure about the third one.

Thanks.

I would only use 1. A comma is optional.

However, 'I was born in April(,) 1991' is correct.

Americans usually write April 17th,
1991. The th is optional and is always omitted in the day-first notation.
