the year date

[BasiaBasia]

Hi, Could you help me and explain how to read the year e.g. 1066 - one thousand and sixty-six or ten sixty-six? I've heard both forms but I'd like to know which one should be used when writing some school tests. Maybe you colud recommend any links where I can find some more information about reading the year date.
Thanks

When WRITING a school report you can just write 1066. If you have to read what you've writtem, you can actually use both forms and both should be acceptable.
