As elementary school children learn how to talk about the passing of time, and recognize that historical events may have happened long ago or more recently, they begin using a wider vocabulary, including some historical terms, to help them describe these events comparatively. For example, they may understand that events like the Olympics or a celebrity wedding have happened relatively recently, but that the Roman Empire existed a very long time ago.
Try this quiz to see how well you do with using the correct historical terms. It might widen your vocabulary!
