【Question】Could you tell me, what’s the difference between “period” and “era”?

Question

Answer

Realistically, in the right context you may use the two words interchangeably because they mean the same thing… it’s often a matter of personal preference.

I’m a native English speaker from South Africa but currently based in Sweden, if you want to practice English please feel free to take a look at my profile and perhaps book a lesson :)

Answer

Period is like a moment in time that could be a decade but era is like a thousand years. That's what I like to believe. As I never call the 80s or 90s an era.
