2005
Year after 2004
2005 is the year that follows 2004 and precedes 2006, used as a date marker or reference point: the class of 2005, back in 2005.
Like other years, it functions as a noun or adjective: 2005 was a good year, the 2005 model.
Years are often shorthand for eras, events, or vintages associated with them.
