UDI 3: LEARNING FROM THE HISTORY: STUDYING HISTORY (9)
►STUDYING HISTORY
a
Everything changes with time. Studying history helps us to find out
about how people lived in the past. When we talk about events in the past,
at
we measure time in decades, centuries and millennia.
We use ordinal numbers to talk about centuries:
or
The 1st (first) century The 12th (twelfth) century The 20th (twentieth) century
(years 1 – 100) (years 1101 – 1200) (years 1901 – 2000)
M
Historical timelines help us to put past events in order. We start in
the earliest period in time on the left of the timeline, and the most recent
events on the right. We divide history into different periods.
