The date
1) General How to say the year
You write 1900 1901 1995 2000 2002 2010 You say nineteen hundred
nineteen hundred (and) one

nineteen oh-one nineteen ninety-five

two thousand

twenty hundred (and) twenty oh-one

two thousand two thousand twenty ten two

(and)

ten

You normally "split up" (dividir) the year in tens (desenes).

1985 is split up in 19 and 85. (You say: nineteen eighty-five).

From 2000 until 2009 the year is normally not split up.
You say: two thousand; two thousand (and) one. The word >and< is often left out. From 2010 on the year is split up again.

2010 is split up in 20 and 10. (You say: twenty ten). 2) Writing and saying the date in British English

rule: day - month - year

day You write:

month January,

Note:

The two letters at the end of the number and the comma are often left out.

3) Writing and saying the date in American English

rule: month - day - year

4) Sample sentences and the correct prepositions:

in

1999. (Use in with the year.) August. (Use in with the month.) 12th May, 2000. (Use on in the complete date.)

in

on

Sometimes BC or AD is added after the year.

Example: 1060 BC (ten sixty Before Christ) 1060 AD (ten sixty Anno Domini) - This is Latin for >in the year of the Lord<.

5) Note
It is common to use numbers instead of months. British English 13/11/2010 13-11-2010 13.11.2010 American English 11/13/2010 11-13-2010 11.13.2010

If you write 4/8/1995, it is the 4th August 1995 in Britain, but it is April 8th, 1995 in the USA.
