Numbers
& counting

in
English

Forming
and expressing
numbers – written and oral

1. Cardinal
numbers

Cardinal numbers are the numbers that we use for
counting or designating quantity : English-speakers use them every day
– one two three four
etc.   In terms of grammar, they belong to the category of determining
adjectives.

From 0 to 100 – From zero to
a hundred

The number 0
is variously expressed as nought (in British English) or zero (in all
forms of English) : in the middle of a series of
digits, it may also be pronounced “oh”.  Everyone has heard of
James Bond, also known as 007. That is pronounced “oh-oh-seven” or
“double-oh-seven”, but never “nought-nought-seven” nor
“zero-zero-seven”.

Here are the important cardinal numbers between one and
a hundred, which can serve as models for other numbers.

Watch out for spelling:  fourteen
but  forty.

Numbers from 101 to 999 – three-digit numbers

Important:

the examples and rules below illustrate

British 

usage.

In the

USA

,
the word

and

is normally omitted.
A hyphen (-) is normally used in numbers between 21 and 99, whether
these stand alone or are part of a larger number.

From these examples, all other three-digit numbers in English can be
formed.

Notes :

From these examples, all other three-digit numbers in English can be formed.

The word “hundred”
, except as a round number (a number ending in 00), is always followed
by “and”,
both in spoken English and in written English when numbers are written
out as
words.

The word

hundred

never takes an

“s”

as part of a cardinal number.
For numbers between 100 and 199, one normally says “

a
hundred

” and not “

one
hundred

“.
The expression “

one
hundred

” is used only to put emphasis on the figure

one

(i.e. one, not two nor three), or to stress the word.

Example:

I counted one hundred
and twenty planes     (and not 220 nor 320)

Hundreds

in the plural

The words

hundred

,

thousand

and

million

never take an

s

in the plural as cardinal numbers (which are a form of adjective).
They

only

take an

s

when used as

nouns

designating an

imprecise
quantity

of hundreds or thousands, etc., followed by

of

…
Examples

There
are

hundred

s
of

ducks on
the lake.

Thousand

s
of

people
crammed into the stadium

These sentences do not say

how many

hundreds

nor
how many

thousands:
the “

s

”
is the only mark of plurality.

The wordsandnever take anin the plural as cardinal numbers (which are a form of adjective).Theytake anwhen used asdesignating anof hundreds or thousands, etc., followed by…ExamplesThese sentences do not sayhundredsthousands: the “” is the only mark of plurality.

Numbers from 1000 to 1,000,000

• Apart from round numbers (numbers ending in 00)
  numbers above 1000 are normally written in figures, not in
  words. They are written in words here as a means to show how they are
  used in spoken English.

Notes

Reminder
:

these examples and rules reflect usage in

British English

.

In the

USA

,
the word

and

is usually omitted.

• After 1000, if the word “

  hundred

  ”
  does not
  occur in the number, it is the word

  thousand

  which is followed by

  and

  . 

• Apart from round numbers (1000, 7000 etc) there will
  always be an

  and

  somewhere in the number.

Examples

;
1018 = One

thousand and

eighteen
(or in US English : One thousand eighteen)
43,003 = forty-three 

thousand
and

three
56,100 = fifty-six thousand

one

hundred

Otherwise the word

thousand

is not followed by

and

,
but the word

hundred

is.

Examples

;
1708 = One

thousand
seven

hundred and eight
25,864 = Twenty-five

thousand
eight

hundred and sixty-four

• In numbers from 1100 to 1199,  the single
  hundred will be pronounced

  one

  and not

  a

  .

• Four-digit numbers below 2000 (and rarely above) may
  sometimes also be expressed starting with “eleven hundred”, “twelve
  hundred”, etc.

Examples

;

1100 = One
thousand one hundred
 

or

Eleven hundred
22,100 = twenty-two
thousand

one

hundred.
654,122 = Six hundred and fifty-four thousand,

one

hundred and
twenty-two

• The word

  hundred

  is always followed by “

  and

  ”
  once it is followed by another digit, and even if it occurs more than
  once in the number.

• As cardinal numbers, neither

  hundred

  nor

  thousand

  ever take a plural “s”. (More)

  of more than than four digits it is normal to put a

  comma

  every three
  digits.The comma is optional with four-digit numbers.

sixteen.

Numbers greater than a million

The same principles apply.
The number simply starts with a quantity of millions, for example

or

Twenty-five
million…

or

number.

Figures can be expressed differently when they refer to dates and
telephone numbers, or when they are after a decimal point.
