\"\"<\/p>\n

After learning numbers in Chinese<\/a>, French<\/a>, and Japanese<\/a>, you will learn about English numbers today! In fact, English numbers are easy yet tricky. Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cardinal Numbers vs Ordinal Numbers<\/strong><\/h1>\n

We use the cardinal numbers<\/strong> to count<\/strong>, while the ordinal numbers<\/strong> to show<\/strong> the order, rank, position, or sequence. <\/strong>Basically, we just need to add \u2018th\u2019 to the cardinal numbers to form ordinal numbers, except 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, and 12.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Level One: 1 to 10 \u2013 the basic numbers you must know!<\/h6>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Arabic<\/strong><\/td>\nCardinal<\/strong><\/td>\nOrdinal<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
0<\/td>\nzero<\/td>\nzeroth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1<\/td>\none<\/td>\nfirst<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/td>\ntwo<\/td>\nsecond<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3<\/td>\nthree<\/td>\nthird<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/td>\nfour<\/td>\nfourth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5<\/td>\nfive<\/td>\nfifth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6<\/td>\nsix<\/td>\nsixth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
7<\/td>\nseven<\/td>\nseventh<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
8<\/td>\neight<\/td>\neighth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
9<\/td>\nnine<\/td>\nninth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
10<\/td>\nten<\/td>\ntenth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

Level Two: 11 to 19 \u2013 a bit irregular, but still understandable!<\/h6>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Arabic<\/strong><\/td>\nCardinal<\/strong><\/td>\nOrdinal<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
11<\/td>\neleven<\/td>\neleventh<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
12<\/td>\ntwelve<\/td>\ntwelfth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
13<\/td>\nthirteen<\/td>\nthirteenth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
14<\/td>\nfourteen<\/td>\nfourteenth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
15<\/td>\nfifteen<\/td>\nfifteenth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
16<\/td>\nsixteen<\/td>\nsixteenth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

19<\/td>\nnineteen<\/td>\nnineteenth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

Level Three: 20-99 \u2013 note the pattern.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Arabic<\/strong><\/td>\nCardinal<\/strong><\/td>\nOrdinal<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

90<\/td>\nninety<\/td>\nninetieth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
91<\/td>\nninety-one<\/td>\nninety-first<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

99<\/td>\nninety-nine<\/td>\nninety-ninth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Do you notice that you need to write down the hyphen (-) from 21 to 99?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Level IV: 100 – Under 1,000,000<\/h6>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Arabic<\/strong><\/td>\nCardinal<\/strong><\/td>\nOrdinal<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
100<\/td>\none hundred<\/td>\nhundredth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
200<\/td>\ntwo hundred<\/td>\ntwo hundredth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

100,000<\/td>\none hundred thousand<\/td>\nhundred thousandth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
600,000<\/td>\nsix hundred thousand<\/td>\nsix hundred thousand<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u2018One\u2019 can be substituted by \u2018a\u2019 from here. Thus:<\/p>\n

one hundred = a hundred<\/p>\n

one thousand = a thousand<\/p>\n

In UK and US English numbers, we use comma (,) to separate every three digits.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Level V: 1,000,000 and Beyond<\/h6>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n

The Incredible Zero<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Beside zero, there are several ways to describe the number \u20180\u2019. For instances:<\/p>\n

The letter \u2018o\u2019 are used to spell the number as in room numbers, years, bank accounts, and telephone numbers.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, British often use \u2018nought\u2019 instead of \u2018zero\u2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Below Zero<\/strong><\/h1>\n

For the numbers below zero \u2013 negative numbers, the numbers are preceded by the \u2018minus\u2019. Therefore:<\/p>\n

-5 \u2192 minus five.<\/p>\n

-20 \u2192 minus twenty.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Decimal Numbers<\/strong><\/h1>\n

We use \u2018point\u2019 to pronounce the decimal point (.)<\/p>\n

After the decimal points, we read each digit of the number individually.<\/p>\n

0.2 \u2192 zero point two.<\/p>\n

0.05 \u2192 zero point zero five.<\/p>\n

0.667 \u2192 zero point six six seven.<\/p>\n

1.2385 \u2192 one point two three eight five.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fraction Numbers<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Structure: cardinal number for numerator + hyphen (-) + ordinal number for denominator.<\/p>\n

1\/4 \u2192 one fourth (also known as a quarter).<\/p>\n

1\/8 \u2192 one eighth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the plural numerators, we add \u2018s\u2019 on the ordinal numbers.<\/p>\n

2\/3 \u2192 two thirds.<\/p>\n

3\/4 \u2192 three fourths (also known as three quarters).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When the number \u20182\u2019 is the denominator, we use \u2018half\u2019 (singular) or \u2018halves\u2019 (plural).<\/p>\n

1\/2 \u2192 one-half.<\/p>\n

5\/2 \u2192 five-halves.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If the number consisting of a whole number with a fraction number, we use \u2018and\u2019 between them.<\/p>\n

2 3\/4 \u2192 two and three-fourths.<\/p>\n

8 39\/100 \u2192 eight and thirty-nine-hundredths.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Percentages<\/strong><\/h1>\n

We form the percentages by simply adding the \u2018percent\u2019 behind the numbers. Thus:<\/p>\n

10% \u2192 ten percent.<\/p>\n

25% \u2192 twenty-five percent.<\/p>\n

49.75% \u2192 forty-nine point seven five percent.<\/p>\n

100% \u2192 one hundred percent.<\/p>\n

Grand or K<\/strong><\/h1>\n

We can shorten the \u2018thousand\u2019 into \u2018grand\u2019 or \u2018K\u2019. Note that this rule applies for the number with exact on the thousands. For examples:<\/p>\n

8,000 \u2192 eight grand or eight K.<\/p>\n

20,000 \u2192 twenty grand or twenty K.<\/p>\n

9,900 <\/span>\u2192<\/span> nine grand nine hundred or nine K nine hundred.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Years<\/strong><\/h1>\n

For saying years in English, divide the years into two digits-two digits. Therefore:<\/p>\n

1996 \u2192 nineteen ninety-six.<\/p>\n

2018 \u2192 twenty eighteen.<\/p>\n

2036 \u2192 twenty thirty-six.<\/p>\n

However, for years from 2000 to 2009, we need to say the full number.<\/p>\n

2000 \u2192 two thousand.<\/p>\n

2002 \u2192 two thousand and two.<\/p>\n

2009 \u2192 two thousand and nine.<\/p>\n
