🎓 Today’s Topic: I Learned What “B.C.” and “A.D.” Really Mean
Until today, I only knew that B.C. meant “Before the Christian Era” or “Before Christ,” but I had never known its full form — Before Christ.
Thanks to ChatGPT-5, I finally learned the true meaning of B.C. and A.D.
👩💼Thank you so much to ChatGPT-5.
I really appreciate ChatGPT-5’s clear explanation.
😂そうそう、それもよくある“かわいい勘違いシリーズ”ですね！
その流れも含めて、今日のブログに載せられるような自然な英語版を整えました👇

🧑💻【English Summary of Today’s Study】
Today’s topic: Sentence patterns (SVC / SVO) and comparative expressions.
I reviewed how to tell sentence patterns apart, even when comparative forms like more or better appear in a sentence.
Key points:
SVC: be + adjective → This car is faster than that one.
SVO: verb + noun → We need more evidence.
SV: verb + adverb → He runs faster than me.
I wrote about two and a half pages of notes, including a summary table.
Once I memorize it, I’ll start applying the patterns in real sentences.
This lesson was taught by ChatGPT-5.
By the way, I once thought B.C. meant Before Century, and everyone in my family agreed.
Then someone said, “No, it’s A.C. — After Century!”
We all laughed and had a long, friendly argument about it. 😅
Now I’ll never forget that B.C. actually means Before Christ, and A.D. means Anno Domini.

（日本語補足）
B.C.を「Before Century」、A.C.を「After Century」だと思い込んでいた時期がありました。
家族みんなで「そうやな！」と納得してしまって、あとで大笑い。
もう一生忘れません。😄
👩💼 Thank you so much.
