modify date of a file

I'm trying to find a way to print the date that a file was modified on.
Using ls -l gives me to much information! All i need is the date. There must be a simple way to do this, but i cannot find it anywhere.. can someone give me some advise?

This will display the month and day (e.g. May 28):

ls -l | awk '{print $6 " " $7}'
