Notas de uso
When referring to a specific century, we almost always use the definite article 'the' and an ordinal number (e.g., the 19th century). In casual speech, it can be used hyperbolically to mean a very long time.
Errores comunes
Learners often forget to use 'the' before the century name. Another mistake is confusing the number of the century with the years (e.g., the 1900s is actually the 20th century).
