1 00:00:00,750 --> 00:00:06,990 hello this is elizabeth and today we have a little bit of a different lesson so i know we've 2 00:00:06,990 --> 00:00:13,390 been learning a lot of social sciences and with social sciences comes a lot of dates to remember 3 00:00:13,949 --> 00:00:19,710 and i know that sometimes when you're reading the date in english the year is a really complicated 4 00:00:19,710 --> 00:00:27,550 part to read so today we have a lesson on the many rules of reading years in english and i'm 5 00:00:27,550 --> 00:00:33,789 gonna tell you the rules one by one so it'll be a little bit easier the next 6 00:00:33,789 --> 00:00:39,969 time you see a date. Alright so these are the official Oxford rules of reading 7 00:00:39,969 --> 00:00:47,590 years in English and there's two separate categories before 2000 and 8 00:00:47,590 --> 00:00:59,509 after 2000. So before 2000, that is the 1600s, the 1700s, 1800s, 1900s, and anything before that. 9 00:01:00,049 --> 00:01:08,909 So we're going to talk about those rules first. Okay, so if the year ends with two zeros, 10 00:01:08,909 --> 00:01:21,530 we use the word hundred. This is not 1,900. No, this is 1,900. If it is from one to nine, 11 00:01:21,650 --> 00:01:36,870 we would say 1902, or for example, 1905, 1706. If it's 10 or after, you will divide the number 12 00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:50,129 into two parts. You will read this as 1821. You will read this as 1947. Okay, we have that handled. 13 00:01:50,129 --> 00:02:00,730 Now we're going to talk about the rules for after 2000. So this is not 2100. This is simply 14 00:02:00,730 --> 00:02:12,909 2000. If it's from one to nine, it'll be 2004 or 2009. It gets even more complicated when you get 15 00:02:12,909 --> 00:02:25,150 to 10 and above because you can say it two ways. You can say 2014. You can say 2014, right? So you 16 00:02:25,150 --> 00:02:35,490 can say 2021 or 2021. All right. I hope that helped just a little bit and I will see you in my next 17 00:02:35,490 --> 00:02:36,810 video. Thank you.
