What to Focus On

  • A timeline shows the order of events.
  • A decade is 10 years.
  • A century is 100 years.

  • AD/CE count years forward from the birth of Jesus Christ.
  • BC/BCE count years backward from the same point.
  • There is no year zero.

  • Centuries help group 100 years.
  • Millenniums help group 1,000 years.
  • CE centuries begin from year 1 CE.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

There is a year 0 between 1 BCE and 1 CE.

To find the number of years between a BCE date and a CE date, subtract the smaller number from the larger number.

BC and BCE are different eras with different starting points.
