I'm sorry it is in Spanish, but I think it is worth watching!

Using measurements of time and chronology

COUNTING YEARS

WHEN we count the years we establish a chronology. The British system uses ordinal numbers (1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, 14^th, 21^st…) while the Spanish system uses Roman numbers (s.I, s.II, s.III, s.XIV, s.XXI)

10 years - a decade

100 years – a century (e.g. 1^st century-s.I from the year 101 to 200)

1,000 years - a millennium (e.g. 2^nd millenium-s.XX from the year 1001 to 2000)

Today we are in the CHRISTIAN ERA. Our era began 2006 years ago, when Christ was born.

Dates before Christ: BC

Dates after Christ: AD (Anno Domini)
