How do you read period and number

In order of likelihood:

five-seventy AD or five hundred seventy AD
eight hundred AD
twelve hundred BC or one thousand two hundred BC
eleven-fifty BC or one thousand one hundred fifty BC
three thousand five hundred years ago or thirty-five hundred years ago

This is how I'd say them.
Five seventy ay dee
Eight hundred ay dee
Twelve hundred bee cee
Eleven fifty bee cee
Thirty-five hundred or Three thousand five hundred

Hi friends,

Thanks for you reply. Are these called 'dates' or 'periods'?

Thanks again

They are years.

1200-1000 BC is a period.
1350-1412 is a period.

January 14, 1356, is a date.

Hi Grammar Geek,

Thanks for your examples. '1800s' Do you say it 'eighteen hundreds'?

Thanks

tinanam0102 Hi teachers,How do you pronounce these periods? 570 A.D. 800 A.D.1200 B.C.1150 B.C.3,500 years agoThanks

By the way, BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini) are currently out of favor in scientific and art history circles because of their religious connotations.

The terms presently favored are CE = Common Era, and BCE = Before Common Era.

The eighteen hundreds or, equivalently, the nineteenth century.

Hi AlpheccaStars,

Thanks a lot for telling me this useful information.
Can I ask again how to read 806 BC? Eight-hundred-and-six-bee- see or Eight-O-Six-bee-see?

Thanks

tinanam0102Can I ask again how to read 806 BC? Eight-hundred-and-six-bee- see or Eight-O-Six-bee-see?

Either one is fine. I use both versions, probably the former more frequently than the latter.

I would say "eight O six" without thinking, "eight hundred six" if I wanted to sound precise. Notice the absence of "and".
