How are compound numbers formed in English?
Two-digit numbers, as in Russian, are formed by adding one to ten. Please note that when writing between units and tens, you need to add a hyphen.
For example:
Examplesuse:
- Professor Jones has been studying linguistics for forty-five years.“Professor Jones has been studying linguistics for forty-five years.
- Open your books at page fifty nine. Open your books to page fifty-nine.
- Will you still need me when I'm sixty-four?“Will you need me when I turn sixty-four?”
- The man drove the taxi at eighty-seven kilometers an hour. The man was driving a taxi at a speed of eighty-seven kilometers per hour.
- I'm ninety-nine percent sure about it.“I'm ninety-nine percent sure of that.
Numbers in English up to 100: how to pronounce correctly?
If you look at the table, namely the column, which indicates how to pronounce the numbers in Russian, you will notice two features:
- The sign ":" is called long reading. It means that the vowel before this sign must be stretched out in voice. For example, the number two. It should be read as "tu-u", extending the sound "u" a little.
- The second feature is the sign "'", it means accent. , which follows after this character should be emphasized. For example, the number eleven. It must be pronounced "ilEvn", the word should sound with an emphasis on the sound "e".
17 | seventeen | seventeen | sevnt'i:n | |
18 | eighteen | eighteen (one t!) | eyt'i:n |
Speaking of numbers from 13 to 19, it is important to put the right emphasis here. If you look at the pronunciation table, you can see that the stress in the number always falls on the derived suffix -teen. More importantly, the “and” sound in the suffix should also be extended.
40 | fourty | forty | [‘fɔːtɪ] | f'o:ti |
50 | fifty | fifty | [‘fɪftɪ] | f'ifty |
To correctly pronounce tens, it is enough to know the units. The stress falls on the root of the word, as in units. Derivative suffix -ty does not stand out when spoken.
Note:
Especially difficult for English learners is the pronunciation of the letter combination "th", which begins with the numbers 3, 13, 30. The truth is that the sound should not be pronounced as "f" or "s", it is something in between. When pronouncing this sound, the tip of the tongue must be inserted between the teeth. Be sure to listen to how these numbers are pronounced.
What is the difference between a hundred, a thousand, a million and a billion?
100 | hundred | one hundred | u'an h'andred | |
1.000 | one thousand | one thousand | u'an s'ausend | |
1.000.000 | million | one million | u'an m'ilien | |
1.000.000.000 | billion | one billion | u'an b'ilien |
Hundreds, thousands, millions and billions can be counted. In order to get such a figure, you need to add a hundred, a thousand, etc. to one. If a we are talking about hundreds of millions, the scheme remains the same.
For example:
- Two (2) + one hundred (100)= two hundred (200)
- Seventy-five (75) + one thousand (1.000)= Seventy-five thousand (75.000)
- One hundred (100) + one million (1.000.000)= One hundred million (100.000.000)
- Five hundred (500) + one billion (1.000.000.000)= Five hundred billion (5.000.000.000)
note that in such cases the ending is not added to hundreds, thousands, millions and billions in English plural. One billion or ten will still be "billion".
Three-digit numbers are formed according to the scheme: one hundred + ten + one.
There is a slight difference in the formation of three-digit numbers between British (Br.E.) and American English (Am.E.). The British put “and” between a hundred and ten, and the Americans do not use this union in three-digit numbers.
For example:
- One hundred (100) + eight (8)= One hundred and eight (Br.E.) or one hundred two (Am.E.) (102)
- Two hundred (200) + forty-three (43)= Two hundred and forty-three (Br.E.) or Two hundred forty-three (Am.E.) (243)
Conclusion
Now we can say with confidence that you know the order of the formation of numbers in English up to 100. To consolidate the study, you can count counting rhymes or listen with correct pronunciation numbers in English up to 100.
After several trainings, it will not be difficult for you to learn, be able to write and name any number. We also advise you to perform various exercises or free ones, of which there are many on the Internet, as well as watch video tutorials online.
For the first time, children begin to get acquainted with a foreign language in kindergarten. study simple words, which are found in Everyday life. Every first grader should know how to count in English within ten. This is a basic program, it must be mastered by the child when entering school. Numbers in English can be learned not only easily, but also exciting. Today, many interesting ways and methods have been invented for this.
Learn numbers from 1 to 19
English numerals counting and learning from 1 to 100 is easy if you approach the learning process with ingenuity. To master faster new language, you need to understand the process of generating an invoice. At the initial stage, it is worth learning only 12 numbers that will help you master the entire grammatical series. Every student and adult knows them. Therefore, any parent can teach their child with ease.
First you need to memorize the numbers from 1 to 12. A special table will help to do this.
Number | Name in Russian | Name in English + how the word is spelled | |
1 | One | one | One |
2 | Two | twu | That |
3 | Three | three | Free |
4 | Four | Four | Fo |
5 | Five | five | Fife |
6 | Six | six | Syks |
7 | Seven | seven | Sevn |
8 | Eight | eight | Eith |
9 | Nine | nine | nein |
10 | Ten | ten | Teng |
11 | Eleven | eleven | Elavn |
12 | Twelve | twelve | Tuelv |
The presented English number series, as a rule, is taught in poetic form, so it is easy to remember.
Counting from 13 to 19, knowing the previous numbers by heart will be easy. To do this, you need to learn how to independently compose a number series using the learned numbers.
To get 13, you need to add the suffix teen (tin) to the number 3, it turns out three (free) + teen (tin) \u003d thirteen (fetin). The same rule applies to the number five and four:
- four (fo) + teen (tin) = fourteen (fotin) - 14;
- five (fifty) + teen (tin) \u003d fifteen (fiftin) - 15.
This row can be continued until 19: 16 - sixteen, 17 - seventeen, 18 - eighteen, 19 - nineteen. If a child understands the process of forming numbers from 1 to 20, English will become a favorite language for the baby, which is not at all difficult to learn on your own or with the help of parents.
Compiling dozens
Tens in English is just as interesting to learn as other numbers in the account. Because they are formed in the same way as the previous numbers. Round numbers are obtained by adding the suffix ty (ti). For example, to understand how to pronounce and write 20, 30, 40, 50, you need:
Thus, a table of round tens is obtained.
Number | Name in Russian | Approximate pronunciation in Russian | Name in English |
20 | Twenty | Tventi | Twenty |
30 | Thirty | Soti | Thirty |
40 | Fourty | Foti | Forty |
50 | Fifty | Fivety | Fifty |
60 | Sixty | Sixty | sixty |
70 | Seventy | seventy | seventy |
80 | Eighty | Aity | Eighty |
90 | Ninety | Knighty | Ninety |
It is worth remembering how the numbers 50, 40, 30, 20 are written and pronounced. These are the words of the exception. When they are formed, the root is modified.
Getting the rest of the numbers from one to one hundred is also not difficult. Any student can do this if he understands the technology of their education. You can give an example on the numbers 54 and 45:
- 54 is made up of fifty and four, so in English language it will sound like fifty (50) + four (4) = fifty-four (fifty-fo);
- 45 consists of forty (forty) and five (five), it turns out forty-five (foty five).
As shown above, the number is made up of tens and ones, which is closely related to the Russian language - 20 (twenty) + 5 (five) \u003d 25 (twenty-five). AT mother tongue the numbers are readable. It makes the learning process easier.
Any kid will be able to understand the pattern of creating numbers four, five, ten, twenty-four, etc. up to 100 if parents help and guide him. Already in primary school he expects an extensive acquaintance with English and British pronunciation, their difference. In the first grades, children are already learning how to write and pronounce the numbers up to 100. Therefore, it is extremely important to help the child master the foreign language perfectly well.
Learn how the English numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 20, 30, 50, 100, 1000, 1000000 are written in words and learn how to count in English.
The VoxBook audio course has many examples of the use of numbers and numerals. So in the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson "Treasure Island" from the famous song:
Fifteen men on the dead man's chest [fifteen people per dead man's chest]
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum [yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum]!
Drink and the devil had done for the rest [drink and the devil will bring you to the end]
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Below are the numbers in English with transcription and translation. Further, the ways of forming cardinal numbers (Cardinal Numerals) and the English account are analyzed in detail.
Number | Name in Russian | Name in English | Transcription |

1 | one | one | |
2 | two | two | [ˈtuː] |

Numbers in English 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
The numbers in English from 1 to 12 are i.e. denote the number of items and consist of one word (see table). Writing English numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 must be remembered. Based on their first ten, all other English numbers are formed.
Numbers in English from 13 to 19.
In English, the numbers 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 are.
To form them, the suffix -teen is added to the English number from 1 to 10 from the third column of the table. The result is the number needed to count from 13 to 19:
13 thirteen - thir teen[ˌθɜːˈtiːn]
14 fourteen - four teen[ˌfɔːˈtiːn]
15 fifteen - fif teen[ˌfɪfˈtiːn]
16 sixteen teen
17 seventeen - seven teen[ˌsevnˈtiːn]
18 eighteen-eigh teen[ˌeɪˈtiːn]
19 nineteen - nine teen[ˌnaɪnˈtiːn]
3 - 13 teen
5-15 teens
The stress of numerals with the suffix -teen.
In English, numerals ending in the -teen suffix have two stresses, on the first and second syllables (ˌ weak secondary (collateral) stress and ˈ main stress). Look at the transcription so as not to make a mistake in pronunciation:
13 - thirteen [ˌθɜːˈtiːn]
14 - fourteen [ˌfɔːˈtiːn]
15 - fifteen [ˌfɪfˈtiːn]
If the numeral with the -teen suffix is not followed by a noun, then when pronouncing, the main stress falls on the -teen suffix:
fifteen
sixteen
When a numeral with the -teen suffix is the definition of a noun (that is, it is followed by a noun), then the stress in it does not fall on the suffix, but only on its first syllable:
fifteen pencils [ˈfɪftiːn ˈpensl̩z]
sixteen boxes [ˈsɪkstiːn ˈbɒksɪz]
In the VoxBook audio course in the fairy tale "The Fish and the Ring" from the collection English Fairy Tales, in which you can hear a similar accent (for this, install the audio course on your computer and listen for yourself):
English numbers 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90.
English numbers denoting whole tens 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 are derived cardinal numbers. To form them, the suffix -ty is added to the tens figure from the third column of the table. The result is the required number of tens:
20 twenty - twen ty[ˈtwenti]
30 thirty-thir ty[ˈθɜːti]
40 forty - for ty[ˈfɔːti]
50 fifty - fif ty[ˈfɪfti]
60 sixty - six ty[ˈsɪksti]
70 seventy - seven ty[ˈsevnti]
80 eighty-eigh ty[ˈeɪti]
90 ninety - nine ty[ˈnaɪnti]
Please note that in the English numbers 20, 30, 40 and 50, the root of 2 two, 3 three, 4 four and 5 five is modified, and the repetition of the letter t disappears in the number 80:
2 two - 20 ty [ˈtwenti]
3 three - 30 ty [ˈθɜːti]
4 four - 40 ty [ˈfɔːti]
5 five - 50 ty [ˈfɪfti]
8 eight - 80 ty [ˈeɪti]
The stress of numerals with the suffix -ty.
In English numerals ending in the suffix -ty, the stress is only on the first syllable. Look at the transcription and pronunciation:
40 - forty [ˈfɔːti]
50 - fifty
60 - sixty
English numbers 100, 1000, 1000000.
English numbers from 100 to 1000 and 1000000 are presented at the end of the table (see above).
In English, before 100 hundred, 1000 thousand, 1000000 million, either the indefinite article a (which has the meaning one - one), or the word one is put:
100 hundred - a (one) hundred [ə wʌn ˈhʌndrəd] (i.e. a hundred or one hundred)
1000 thousand - a(one) thousand
Please note that the article is not used with other cardinal numbers:
Three pencils. Three pencils.
two girls. Two girls.
100 hundred , 1000 thousand and 1000000 million do not end with -s , including when they are preceded by another number other than one, for example:
100 hundred (one hundred) - one hundred or a hundred
200 two hundred
300 three hundred
400 four hundred
500 five hundred - five hundred
600 six hundred
700 seven hundred - seven hundred
800 eight hundred
900 nine hundred - nine hundred
Further
1000 thousand (one thousand) - one thousand or a thousand
2000 two thousand - two thousand
3000 three thousand - three thousand
4000 four thousand - four thousand
5000 five thousand - five thousand
etc.
1000000 million (one million) - one million or a million
2000000 two million
3000000 three million three million
4000000 four million
5000000 five million - five million
6000000 six million - six million
etc.
Thus, the numeral is never given the ending -s , however...
However: the word signifying number can refer not only to a numeral (which does not need to end with -s), but also to a noun, which may already have an ending -s . For example, 100 hundred , 1000 thousand and 1000000 million end with -s when they express an indefinite number of hundreds, thousands or millions. In this case, they are nouns, and the noun following them (if any) is used with the preposition of:
Three million tons of coal. Three million tons of coal.
Hundred ideas for learning. Hundreds of ideas for learning.
Some birds can fly thousand miles. Some birds fly thousands of kilometers.
Four or five millions of specie had been thrown into circulation lately. Four, five million specie (for) recent times were thrown into circulation.
All of the above applies to other English numbers from 2 and above, which act as a noun:
Magnificent seven. The Magnificent Seven. (singular)
How many seven do you have? How many sevens do you have? (plural)
In the VoxBook audio course in the novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, with this example:
Here it is about gentlemen of fortune [so always with gentlemen of fortune = pirates]. They live rough and they risk swinging [they live without amenities and risk being hanged], but they eat and drink like fighting cocks [but eat and drink like kings: "fighting cocks" = show off], and when a cruise is done, why, it's hundreds of pounds instead of hundreds of farthings in their pockets [and when the voyage is over = after sailing, well, they have hundreds of pounds in their pockets instead of hundreds of farthings = pennies].(R.L. Stevenson - "TREASURE ISLAND")
Note. Also, million can end with -s when it is preceded by two, three, etc. provided there is no other number after it. In this case, million is followed by a noun with the preposition of:
two millions of books. - Two million books.
English account. Compound cardinal numbers in English.
In English counting in composite numbers from 20 to 99 (that is, consisting of two numbers - tithes and units), a hyphen (dash) is placed between tens and the units following them:
20 - twenty
21-twenty-one [ˈtwenti wʌn]
22-twenty-two [ˈtwenti ˈtuː]
etc.
30 - thirty [ˈθɜːti]
31 - thirty-one [ˈθɜːti wʌn]
32 - thirty-two [ˈθɜːti ˈtuː]
etc.
In English counting with composite numbers over 100, within every three digits, before the tens (and if there are none, then before the ones), the union and:
235 - two hundred and thirty-five
407 - four hundred seven
2034 - two thousand thirty-four
2004 - two thousand four
5236 - five thousand two hundred thirty-six
250129 - two hundred fifty thousand, one hundred twenty-nine
4221589 - four million two hundred twenty-one thousand five hundred eighty-nine
203000000 - two hundred three million
In American English, the union and is omitted, for example: 235 - two hundred hirty-five.
Some rules for translating numerals into English:
1. Russian Genitive nouns after cardinal numbers do not do it translate into English a noun with the preposition of (a common mistake):
In the VoxBook audio course in the tale "JACK THE GIANT-KILLER" from the collection English Fairy Tales, in which this particular case occurs:
...he is a huge and monstrous giant [he is a huge and monstrous giant] with three heads [with three heads]; he'll fight five hundred men in armor [he will defeat/conquer five hundred men in armor], and make them fly before him [and "make" = make them run in front of him]."(English Fairy Tales - "JACK THE GIANT-KILLER")
2. Russian noun in singular after compound numbers ending in one (one, one), should be translated into English as a plural noun:
twenty one day - twenty one day
three hundred and fifty one books three hundred and fifty-one book
3. Cardinal numbers can be used as a definition after the word being defined. This is especially true for cases of designating page numbers, paragraphs, chapters and parts of books, house numbers, rooms, sizes of clothes and shoes, bus numbers and has the meaning of an ordinal number, although it is replaced by a cardinal number:
part two - the second part
chapter seven - the seventh chapter
Read lesson three. - Read the third lesson.
Open your book on page nineteen.- Open your books to the nineteenth page.
He live in apartment 12 (twelve).- He lives in apartment 12.
4. Combinations of two of my sisters, five of your books, two of his friends, etc. translated into English two language of my sisters, five of your books, two of his friends (not: two my brothers, five your books, two of his friends is a common mistake).
For example, in the VoxBook audio course in the novel "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson, with this example:
There were six of the buccaneers, all told [there were six pirates, "all counted" = in total]; not another man left alive [no one else survived]. Five of them were on their feet, flushed and swollen [five of them were on their feet, with reddened and swollen /faces/],(R.L. Stevenson - "TREASURE ISLAND")
Baby! Don't be afraid to learn something new! If you know the numbers in Russian, then you will definitely find out how they are written and pronounced in English. In that distant country of England, the numbers are written and pronounced a little differently, they are not complicated at all. Now let's take a look at the history of the emergence of numbers.
A short course in the history of the emergence of numbers
Used to be primitive people, they knew this world, just like you do now. And they noticed that they had five fingers on each hand. Look at your hand now. See? You have five fingers. And there are five fingers on the other hand. And if you put them together, it turns out that you have ten fingers on both hands. People realized that numbers can be written down somehow, for example, on stones, because there were no pens and pencils then.
You ask, why should I write? Well, for example, you can write down the number on paper and remember that you bought two ice creams yesterday and now you already need three ice creams. Now we will stop on the course of history and go straight to the numbers.
