Hello!
2 questions...
When you write a text in English, can you write the date:
The 27th of February 2006 Or The 27th February 2006 ?
They "have married", is it correct? Or do you have to say " they married" or they "got married" ?
Thanks to answer!

To answer your first question, you can say:
The 27th of February, 2006
Feburary 27, 2006
Febuary the 27th, 2006
To answer the second question, "have married" and "got married" mean different things.
I have married your brother. We got married yesterday.

Hello!
In 1988, I met a Chinese man in Paris and two years later, I married him.
We got married in China, on the 29th of August 1990.
We've been married for 15 years.
I am very happy to be married to this wonderful Chinese man.
PS No, it isn't a true story, but I enjoyed making it all up to give you some idea about how you can use the verbs to marry, to get married and to be married... -- including a date too!

" the " et " of " se prononce mais ne s'écrivent jamais.
Bye, and enjoy your week-end.
