Need clarification on how to declare a method in Java

My textbook says to "add multiple methods". But where on earth do I put the method?

I figured I should put it inside main but as soon as I put the public static void part, there's an error!! And when I put a method outside of main, there's an error telling me "missing method body, or declare abstract".

What goes inside main and what goes OUT of main? 

package testin;

public class Testin {
    public static void printAmerican(String day, String month, int date, int year);{
        day="Monday"
        month="March"
        date=14;
        year=2017;                        
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO code application logic here
    }
};

You have a semicolon in the wrong spot, before the {:

(String day, String month, int date, int year);{...
 //                                           ^ Here

Get rid of that. It doesn't make any sense to have one there.

Methods are declared WITHIN the class body.

public SomeClass {

    private int someIntVariable = 0;

    public method doSomeThingUseless(int myIntValue) {
        someIntVariable = myIntValue;
       }

}
