# Time and history: the timeline and how people lived long ago, sentence 1

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Years are grouped by hundreds into centuries: the 1st century is the years 1 to 100, the 20th century is 1901 to 2000, and we live in the 21st century, the years 2001 to 2100; so the year 1648 is in the 17th century: for a year that does not end in 00, the century is one more than the number of whole hundreds.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** hundreds, 1st century, we, 20th century, year, that · **What happens:** group, be, live, not end · **To what, where:** Years, 1901 years, 00

<!-- .vabout -->
This is a sentence of the lesson «Time and history: the timeline and how people lived long ago» of the world course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (hundreds, 1st century, we, 20th century), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
