Hi friends,
I�m teaching years and dates in English and I have a doubt:
How do you say the following year:
1066 ?
We say:
1974: nineteen seventy-four
1806: eighteen oh six
2011: two thousand and eleven but
1066......???
Thanks a lot in advance |

I think it is ten sixty-six too, but I have more or less the same doubt... How do you say in english the next years?: 2011: two thousend eleven or twenty eleven? and what about the year 2000? is it two thousend or is it twenty...:( Thanks! |

2000: two thousand
2008: two thousand and eight
2011: two thousand and eleven
I�ve searched on the net and I found some people say (1066) one hundred sixty-six.
But, is it right? I also think ten sixty-six is the correct form.
It�d be great to listen to a native speaker�s opinion.

Ten sixty-six is the appropriate answer. |

Hi All, As a native speaker i would use, 1066: ten sixty-six 2000: two thousand 2011: two thousand and eleven 2012: twenty-twelve (only because it sounds nice, using two thousand and twelve would be perfectly acceptable.) and if the world doesn �t end in twenty-twelve I would use 2013: two thousand and thirteen hope this helps :) Dan |
