Who said that numbers in French are way too complicated? As long as you remember the basic number, know how to do the counting, and understand how the patterns work, you will get it eventually. Here we provide the tips on how to master the numbers in French!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

0-16<\/strong><\/h6>\n

First of all, you have to know the basic<\/strong> in order to do the rest of the counting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

16<\/td>\nseize<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

17-19 <\/strong><\/h6>\n

17, 18, and 19 are as easy as 10+7, 10+8, and 10+9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
17<\/td>\ndix-sept<\/td>\n10+7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
18<\/td>\ndix-huit<\/td>\n10+8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
19<\/td>\ndix-neuf<\/td>\n10+9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

20-69<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Now, let\u2019s take a look of twenty, thirty, up to sixty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
20<\/td>\nvingt<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
30<\/td>\ntrente<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
40<\/td>\nquarante<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
50<\/td>\ncinquante<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
60<\/td>\nsoixante<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

For number from 21 to 61 (with 1 at the back), add \u2018et<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 before the \u2018un<\/em><\/strong>\u2019. et<\/em><\/strong> is literally translated as \u2018and<\/em>\u2019. French uses \u2018une<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 instead of \u2018un<\/em>\u2019 for feminine nouns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
\u00a021<\/td>\nvingt et<\/strong> un<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a031<\/td>\ntrente et<\/strong> un<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a061<\/td>\nsoixante et<\/strong> un<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

This rule is applied for number from 22 to 69 (except for the numbers with 1 as the unit):<\/p>\n

Tens + Hyphen (-) + units<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\u00a022<\/td>\nvingt-deux<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a023<\/td>\nvingt-trois<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a036<\/td>\ntrente-six<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a044<\/td>\nquarante-quatre<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a058<\/td>\ncinquante-huit<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a069<\/td>\nsoixante-neuf<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

70-79<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Unlike Belgian or Swiss, French do not use \u2018septante\u2019 to count seventy. They continue the counting from 69 (soixante-neuf). Thus, 70 means 60+10 (soixante-dix), 71 means 60+ et +<\/em>11 (soixante et<\/em> onze), etc. Note that the same rules of \u2018et<\/em>\u2019 <\/strong>and \u2018une<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 are applied on 71 as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
70<\/td>\nsoixante-dix<\/td>\n60+10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
71<\/td>\nsoixante et<\/strong> onze<\/td>\n60+11<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
72<\/td>\nsoixante-douze<\/td>\n60+12<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
73<\/td>\nsoixante-treize<\/td>\n60+13<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
74<\/td>\nsoixante-quatorze<\/td>\n60+14<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
75<\/td>\nsoixante-quinze<\/td>\n60+15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a079<\/td>\nsoixante-dix-neuf<\/td>\n60+19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

80-99<\/strong><\/h6>\n

We use four-twenties (quatre-vingts<\/strong>) to express 80, which makes sense because 4\u00d720 equals to 80. To continue, 81 means 4\u00d720+1 (quatre-vingt-un), and the pattern is unchanged until 99 (4\u00d720+19, quatre-vingt-dix-neuf). Note that there is no additional \u2018-s\u2019 on vingt from 81 to 99. Besides, we do not have to add \u2018et<\/em>\u2019 for 81 and 91.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
80<\/td>\nquatre-vingts<\/strong><\/td>\n4\u00d720<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
81<\/td>\nquatre-vingt-un<\/td>\n4\u00d720+1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

 <\/p>\n

100-999<\/strong><\/h6>\n

So far, so good! \u2018cent\u2019 is used to count 100. Hundreds go with deux cents (200), trois cents (300), quatre cents (400), and so on. Note that there is an additional<\/strong> \u2018-s<\/strong>\u2019 behind the \u2018cent<\/strong>\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Starting from 101 to 999, all you have to do is to put the hundreds \u2013 cent<\/em> (100), deux cent<\/em> (200), trois cent <\/em>(300) and so on \u00ad\u2013 before the last two digits of 1-99. For this time, omit<\/strong> the \u2018-s<\/strong>\u2019 behind cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
