When expressing large numbers (more than one hundred) read in groups of hundreds. The order is as follows: billion, million, thousand, hundred. Notice that hundred, thousand, etc. is NOT followed by an ‘s’.
Two hundred NOT two hundreds
NOTE: British English takes 'and' between 'hundred and ...' American English omits 'and'. In the examples below, this is represented: (AND)
Hundreds
350 – three hundred (AND) fifty 425 – four hundred (AND) twenty five
Thousands
15,560 – fifteen thousand five hundred (AND) sixty 786,450 – seven hundred (AND) six thousand four hundred (AND) fifty

If you wish, you can put the definite article before the day. It is common to write a comma before the year.
Example: October (the) 5(th), 2004
You can also write the date by using numbers only. The most common forms are:
Example: 5/10/04 or 5-10-04
From 2000 onwards, years are pronounced like ordinary cardinal numbers.
2000 - two thousand 2003 - two thousand and three
Earlier years are pronounced differently: the first two figures are a number and the last two figures are a number. They can be joined by hundred and, which is only necessary, however, if the last two figures are 00 through 09.
1999 - nineteen (hundred and) ninety-nine 1806 - eighteen hundred and six / eighteen oh six
If you want to give the year without an exact date, use the preposition in:
I was born in 1972.
To distinguish between dates before and after the birth of Christ, use BC und AD:
BC = 'Before Christ' AD = 'Anno Domini' (in the year of the Lord)
