Most commenters are using literal english translations for this simple phrase and expect it to be correct. Use natural english on how you would tell the date to someone, eg, Tomorrow is the 18th, or it's the 18th tomorrow (which coincidentally wasn't accepted and been reported).
who says, "it's the eighteenth day of the month tomorrow"? a bit awkward I think.
English likes to have the definite article before dates, so whatever tense you use, write 'the 18th' rather than just '18th'.

You must always use "the" in front of dates (for days of the month), so "tomorrow is the 18th".
I guess "Tomorrow it is the 18th" should also be accepted as correct. What do you guys think?
normally i dont use tomorrow is the 18th??? is "tomorrow is 18th" wrong?
I had the Chinese listening excercise here and had understood: "明天是八号。". Even when letting google translator read it to me, "十八号" and "是八号" sound very similar.
I reckon those are just the finer points of tones, with 十 going more upwards compared to 是, or are there any other ways to get it right?
here i confused 十 with 是 probably because it said it quickly and i didn't look at the writing
No need. Chinese is very compact. If there is no need for a word, you can often skip it.

I guess the question then is when is it needed and when is it not needed? Is it OK to say "Wo Mei Go Ren", or "Wo Wang"?
I wrote tommorow is the 18th and it wasn't accaptet as the answer even though the correction says the exact same thing?
