31 (D-100) A hundred (entertainment) / hundreds (information)

31 (D-100) One hundred days before we leave! I've given you so much information this past month! So much work for you! (?) It's time for a little entertainment; time to relax!

THE COUNTDOWN CONTINUES. 100 days and counting down. Take a look, and LISTEN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtCDgkU4qK8


Hundreds: There are 564 federally-recognized Indian tribes* in the United States today. The Navajo and the Hopi people have lived in the region of The Painted Desert for at least five hundred and one thousand years, respectively. You'll read more about them soon.

___________________________________
-We can say A hundred or ONE hundred.
-100 days to go. Notice the use of "to go" here. It's used to count down.
"Fourteen days to go before the Chinese New Year." It doesn't mean we're going somewhere...it means we're counting the days until the event.

-* You'll read about politically correct vocabulary soon too. This count comes from The United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, August 11, 2009.
