What to Focus On

  • A timeline arranges events in order.
  • It helps us understand the sequence of events.
  • Timelines can be used for history or personal events.
  • 10 years = 1 decade
  • 100 years = 1 century
  • 1000 years = 1 millennium
  • A calendar tracks dates and days.
  • An almanac has extra details like moon phases and weather.
  • Different people use almanacs for different needs.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

BC years are after AD years because BC comes before AD in the alphabet.

The year 2000 was not a leap year because it's a century year.

The Saka Calendar starts on 1 January like the Gregorian Calendar.

Memory Tips

What is a timeline?

BC/BCE means Before Christ / Before Common Era

AD/CE means Anno Domini / Common Era
