Understanding English Numbers

English numbers follow a pattern that makes them easy to learn. Let’s break them down into different groups:

1️⃣ Single-Digit Numbers (1-9)

These numbers are the foundation of counting. Each number has a unique word:

• One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine

2️⃣ Teen Numbers (10-19)

The numbers from 10 to 19 mostly end in “-teen”. These numbers are slightly irregular, so they should be memorized:

• Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, Fourteen, Fifteen, Sixteen, Seventeen, Eighteen, Nineteen

3️⃣ Tens (20, 30, 40, … 100)

The multiples of 10 follow a regular pattern:

• Twenty, Thirty, Forty, Fifty, Sixty, Seventy, Eighty, Ninety, One Hundred

Notice that “Forty” is different from “Four” (it does not have a “u”).

4️⃣ Numbers from 21 to 99

After 20, numbers follow a pattern using the tens and the single digits:

• Twenty-one, Twenty-two, Twenty-three, … Twenty-nine
• Thirty-one, Thirty-two, … Thirty-nine
• This pattern continues up to Ninety-nine

A hyphen (-) is used between the tens and the ones for numbers like twenty-one (21), thirty-five (35), and seventy-eight (78).

How to Use Numbers in Daily Life

✔ Telling Age → “I am twenty-five years old.”
✔ Counting Money → “This costs fifty dollars.”
✔ Telling Time → “The class starts at seven-thirty.”
✔ Giving Addresses → “I live at 42 Green Street.”
✔ Talking about Years → “The year is two thousand twenty-four (2024).”
