Being able to count in English is just as important as speaking. In any tourist country, all sellers, taxi drivers, hotel staff have an account up to 20. Are you worse or what? In general, you understand what's what. To learn how to count to a million in English, you need to learn only 31 words. But everything is in order. In this article, we will learn how to count up to 20.
In Russian, to learn numbers, you need to know over 100 words. The same rules apply in English counting, but it is worth mentioning a couple of important points that will greatly facilitate the process of learning numbers and numbers for you:
- In English, unlike Russian, numbers are not declined by gender. If we have “two thousand”, but “two million”, then it is the same here that “two thousand”, that “two million”
- They do not decline in cases, that is, the endings do not change. Instead of "thousand - thousand-thousand-thousand ...", to the whole simple word "thousand"
- Also, instead of "1 million - 2 million - 5 million", it all comes down to using one word "million" and no additional endings
- There are no personal names for hundreds. Instead of "two hundred" there will be "two hundred", instead of "six hundred" the Englishman will say "six hundred", etc.
- And fifthly, there are much fewer exceptions in the English account.
Well, now let's move from theory directly to practice: The numbers from one to ten are the basis of the basics!
Count up to 20 in English with transcription
Numerous numbers are based on basic numbers - from 1 to 9, you can also include 0 and 10 here. You just have to memorize these numbers:

| One | One | [one] | ||

| Six | Six | [syks] | ||
| Seven | Seven | [sevn] | ||
| Eight | Eight | [ate] | ||
| Nine | Nine | [nein] | ||
| Ten | Ten | [ten] |
Further, the next numbers 11 and 12 are the very few exceptions from the first 20. They also need to be remembered. Then everything is much easier. From the 13th to the 19th, the same “number (from 3 to 9) + teen” is formed in the same way. For example, six + teen = sixteen. Just like in Russian thirteen, fifteen. That's -11 is -teen. The number is written together, but read with an emphasis on the last syllable.

Here, too, there are minor changes. In pronunciation, they are not noticeable, but in writing it is worth paying attention to changes in the root:
- 13: spelling "three" is modified to "thir"
- 15: in the second syllable "five" v changes to f, and the letter "e" disappears
- 18: when adding the suffix "teen" to "eight", the appearing letter t is not duplicated, but replaced with a single
In fact, the ending "teen" is a full-fledged word, meaning the age from 13 to 19 years old.
It should be borne in mind that Russian pronunciation (transcription) is only an approximate sound, the specifics of the sound of English numbers cannot be 100% conveyed.How to teach a child to count in English?
As soon as you start teaching your children English, it also needs to be taught and counted. Be sure to do this through the game to instill in him a love and desire for learning the language. Here are some ways to teach your child to count in English:
- Buy or download number cards from the Internet. It is better if on each of them it will be written in letters and with pronunciation. Lay out the pictures on the floor. Say the number in English, and let the child bring you the right card or point to it
- The previous game, only the adult already calls the number in native, and the child takes a card with a number and calls it in a foreign
- Take the ball. Stand opposite, and throwing the ball into the hands of the child, call the numeral in a foreign language, and the child, returning the toy to you, says it in his native
- The game "Who has more." Turn the cards upside down, and at the same time pull out one picture at a time with the baby. Say the number in English. Whoever has more gets both cards. And so on until the end. Whoever has the most wins
- Ask the child to draw numbers, give them human features - eyes, hands, and their name will be the name of the number
- Use fun counting rhymes that kids can easily remember
- Another option is the Crocodile game, but instead of words, the child must turn into a number
- You can also ask your child to draw a number that you say in the air.
Not a day goes by without numbers. Find out what time it is; write down the phone number of a business partner or a girl you like; dictate the delivery address for sushi or pizza - everywhere you need to know the number in English. As in Russian, British vocabulary has its own characteristics depending on the scope of use. Let's take a look at them.
Writing numbers in words
Many painfully remember the school lessons of the Russian language on the topic "Numerals". How many there were rules, exceptions and reservations! How difficult the numerals declined. But English numbers, like many other aspects, are much simpler.
Initially, you need to memorize 13 basic numbers:
zero - zero or nought
one - one
two - two
three - three
four - four
five - five
six - six
seven - seven
eight - eight
nine - nine
ten - ten
eleven - eleven
twelve - twelve
Most likely, these words are familiar to everyone, as they are often used in popular songs, and are also part of the school English curriculum.
To continue counting in English, you need only two suffixes: - teen And - ty, which are attached to the root of one of the 13 basic numbers. Teen used for numbers from 13 before 19 . For education dozen(twenty, thirty, forty, etc.) the suffix is used - ty.
For example, to write the number 13, we take the root of the number three - thir and add the suffix to it - teen — thirteen. And for 30 in English you need the same root thir, but already the suffix ten - ty — thirty.
By ear, the suffixes -teen and -ty are very similar, so confusion arises. But there is a tricky hint that will once and for all help put everything in its place. Remember who they are teenagers? Once again, simple English gives a hint for all time. age- age, teen- suffix of numerals " transitional» age - from 13 to 19. For other numbers in English, you need the -ty suffix. We hope this trick will forever help to sort out the confusion between how 17 will be in English - seventeen or seventy. We remember about teenagers - and voila!
For use in any field of linguistic communication, you only need to remember 2 points: there are two types or classes of numerals in English speech - ordinal and quantitative.
Ordinal, based on the name, indicate what the subject is in order. For example, first in line or forty-ninth on the list.
Quantitative, therefore, answer the question "how much?" and indicate the total. For example: one house, three horses, a thousand things.
Numbers in English, as in Russian, have the same root. All but the first three. But if in our grammar there are several suffixes for the formation of an ordinal number from a quantitative one, but in English it is only one - th.
The table below shows how easy and simple it is to form an ordinal number from a quantitative one. The only thing to keep in mind is the definite article the", which must be placed before ordinal numbers.
| NUMBER | QUANTITATIVE NUMERAL | ordinal NUMERAL |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | one | the first |
| 2 | two | the second |
| 3 | three | the third |
| 4 | four | the future |
| 5 | five | the fifth |
| 6 | six | the sixth |
| 7 | seven | the seventh |
| 8 | eight | the eighth |
| 9 | nine | the ninth |
| 10 | ten | tenth |
| 11 | eleven | the eleventh |
| 12 | twelve | the twelfth |
| 13 | thirteen | the third |
| 14 | fourteen | the fourteenth |
| 15 | fifteen | the fifteenth |
| 16 | sixteen | the sixteenth |
| 17 | seventeen | the seventeenth |
| 18 | eighteen | the eighteenth |
| 19 | nineteen | the nineteenth |
| 20 | twenty | the twentieth |
| 21 | twenty one | the twenty first |
| 22 | twenty two | the twenty second |
| 23 | twenty three | the twenty third |
| 30 | thirty | the third |
| 40 | forty | the fortune |
| 50 | fifty | the fiftieth |
| 60 | sixty | the sixtieth |
| 70 | seventy | the seventieth |
| 80 | eighty | the eightieth |
| 90 | ninety | the ninetieth |
| 100 | one hundred | the one hundredth |
| 1000 | one thousand | the one thousandth |
| 101 | one hundred and one | the one hundred and first |
| 1001 | one thousand and one | the one thousand and first |
| 1035 | one thousand and thirty five | the one thousand and thirty-fifth |
| 10463 | ten thousand four hundred and sixty three | the ten thousand four hundred and sixty third |
Writing numbers in digits
The English-speaking population uses the same number system as we do - Arabic, so there should not be any difficulties with writing cardinal numbers. Pay attention to the use of ordinal numbers, where the following abbreviations are used:
the first-1st
the second-2nd
the third-3rd
the fourth-4th
the eleventh-11th
the twenty first-21st
As you can see, the general principle of reduction is to discard the article and add the last two letters of the ordinal number written in words to the number. Despite the fact that the article is dropped in writing, when reading the number in English, you still need to add the article.
1st prize -the first prize
Numbers in addresses
The numbers in English as part of the address, in general, are no different from the spelling of our addresses. Cardinal numbers are used to indicate the number of a house, building, apartment or office. If the name of the street or enterprise contains an ordinal number, then the abbreviation from the previous section should be used:
1st avenue - 1st Avenue
To save space on the envelope, numbers are written numerically rather than capitalized. But it is worth paying attention that the building number in the English version is indicated before the street name, and not after, as we have. You can read more about writing an address in English.
Numbers in years and months
A common mistake when writing the day of the month in English is to use a cardinal number instead of an ordinal number. That is, not 21
-e(what?) March, eh 21
(How many?) March. Use your native language when translating dates:
22
-e April(which in order is a quantitative numeral) - 22nd April.
Twenty second of April - the twenty-second of April
Please note that when writing abbreviated version of the date, the article is omitted the and preposition of indicating the genitive case. When reading abbreviated dates must be added article And pretext. Otherwise, it will turn out not “April 22nd”, but “April 22nd”. Alternatively, the date can be written like this:
April 22, 2017 - the twenty second of April twenty seventeen
When reading the year, it is customary to divide a four-digit number in English into two pairs. In the case of the beginning of the 2000s, from 2001 to 2009, the Russian analogue is used - two thousand and one, two thousand and nine. But not everything is analogous to native speech in the language of Shakespeare. The word "year" is not added at the end of the phrase:
March 8, 2029 - the eighth of March twenty twenty nine.
If it is necessary to indicate the period before our era or, conversely, after the birth of Christ, the following abbreviations are used: B.C. - before Christ - before the birth of Christ (before our era); A.D. - Anno Domini (lat.) - from the birth of Christ (AD).
Numbers in hours and minutes
The British use the European time system, which consists of 24 hours, but the Americans prefer two to twelve hours - before noon and after noon. Before noon, that is, starting With 00:00 And until 12:00, denoted by letters a.m. (ANTE MERIDIEM - from Latin until noon). Beginning from lunch And until midnight numbers are used p.m. (POST MERIDIEM - from Latin in the afternoon).
Most often, simplifying life for themselves and for us, the English-speaking population first calls hours, then minutes, using cardinal numbers:
It's 5:15 - it's five fifteen.
But true gentlemen, like the Russian intelligentsia, can use the following phrases in their speech:
It's quarter to ten. - A quarter to ten.
It's half past nine. - Half past ten.
It's ten past eleven. - Ten past eleven.
To easily navigate in such phrases, you need to remember only three words:
quarter- quarter
past- after
to- before
We have already studied the rest of the numbers in English above.
Thus, any similar expression can be constructed. A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes. Hence, a quarter to two(that is, 15 minutes left to two) in English will sound it's quarter to two. If now quarter past seven(that is, 15 minutes passed after six in the evening), then in English we say it's quarter past six.
Often the indication of half an hour causes confusion. In Russian, we use half of the next hour - half past nine - 8:30. The British rely on facts - what has already been: 8:30 - thirty minutes after eight - It's half past eight.
Identification numbers
Identification numbers include any numbering of objects, phenomena, and even people. It would seem that numbering implies the use of ordinal numbers, but in reality this is not always the case.
If we are talking about people, then it is customary to use ordinal numbers with the article:
Peter I - Peter the First
Speaking of events, use a cardinal number:
The Second World War - world war two
In other cases, quantitative numbers are most often used:
Channel 9 - Channel Nine, platform 9 3/4 - Platform Nine and Three Quarters.
A similar principle should be used when identifying buildings and structures, wagon numbers, and so on. The addition of the word " number» when numbering objects: car No. 13 - carriage number third/carriage third.
Numbers in fractions and percentages
We use numbers in English in fractions and percentages similarly to Russian:
1/2 - one second part. This phrase uses a cardinal number (one), ordinal (second).
1/2 - one second part - one second
One part is often called a different numeral. 1/2 - half, 1/3 - third, 1/3 - quarter, etc. In English, for this, the number "one" is replaced by the article "a":
1/2 - half - a half
1/3 - third - a third
1/4 - quarter - a forth
If the parts will two, then in Russian it will sound already in plural number, so we use the plural in foreign:
2/9 - two ninths - two ninths
Percentages are transmitted using decimal fractions, and here the British implement what Russian math teachers everywhere forbid - they simply call the numbers before and after the dot! At the same time, the very word dot" sounds like " point».
1.11 - one point one one
12.842 - one two point eight four two
999.209 - nine nine nine point two nought nine/ nine nine nine point two o nine
Zero in mathematics most often sounds like " nought", but in everyday life it is acceptable to use " zero" And " o". If zero comes before the point, it can be omitted:
0.4 - nought point four/point four
0.02 - nought point nought two / point nought two / point o two
0.34 -nought point three four/point three four
Chapter and page numbering
In books, numbers in English are used according to the principle of identifying objects - a cardinal number is placed after the name of the object:
Chapter I (Chapter One) - Chapter I (chapter one)
Page 487 (page four hundred and eighty seven) - page 487 (page four hundred and eighty seven)
Spelling large numbers
Large numbers in English are written similarly to our numerals:
two thousand four hundred and seventy two two thousand four hundred and seventy two
Three million fifteen thousand two hundred two three million fifteen thousand two hundred and two
If the number can be reduced to half, then the word " half»:
Seven and a half billion people live on earth. - There are seven and a half billion people on earth.
Important: indicating the exact amount, ending " s" For plural not added to words hundred, thousand,million, billion etc. The plural is used only when it is necessary to emphasize the mass character without specifying the exact number in English:
There were hundreds of people there. - There were hundreds of people there.
Remember: between hundreds and tens in large numbers, it is customary to add the union " and».
Numbers in business documents
English numerals in documents are used according to general rules, but require mandatory duplication in written and digital equivalent:
17200 (seventeen thousand two hundred) inconsistencies were identified. - There were 17,200 (seventeen thousand and two hundred) discrepancies found.
Numbers in statistics
Similar to official papers, numbers in English are used in statistics. Here it is allowed not to use duplication, but it is required maintaining uniformity: either all data are in numbers, or everything is spelled out.
Numbers at the beginning of sentences
It is not customary to use English numbers at the beginning of a sentence; they should be replaced with uppercase numbers:
10 Negro went for dinner. - Ten piccaninnies went out to dine.
Combined numbers
Combined numbers include the use of both alphabetic and digital equivalents of numerals. According to the ethics of writing, it is preferable to use only one of the options in the entire text. But in the case when an abundance of numbers can interfere with the perception of information, the use of words and numbers is allowed:
In West Virginia, 15 two-story buildings burned to the ground last night. - Last night fifteen 2-storied buildings burnt down to ashes in West Virginia.
Conclusion
Despite the vastness of the topic "Numbers in English", remembering the basic rules is not difficult. The key to success in using a language is constant practice. Take your old school math notebooks and try to translate examples and problems into English. Read newspapers and periodicals with statistical data. And best of all, go to the "Series" section and watch Sillicon Valley, where you are guaranteed to meet large sums and abundant statistics, which will help you remember the numbers in English forever!

The name of the numbers from 13 to 19 in English is quite simple - add the suffix -teen to the unit:
Six (6) + teen = sixteen (16)
Four (4) + teen = fourteen (14)

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?”

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. The vowel sound that follows this sign 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 pronunciation of 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 native English speakers pronounce these numbers.
What is the difference between a hundred, a thousand, a million and a billion?
| 100 | one hundred | one hundred | u'an h'andred | |
| 1.000 | 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 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, hundreds, thousands, millions and billions in English do not have a plural ending added. 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 to videos with songs and with the correct pronunciation of 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 tasks with cards, which are many on the Internet, as well as watch video tutorials online.
If you are now at the stage where you need to learn numbers in English, we will be happy to help you. We will try to show how the main numbers are written correctly in English, how unusual and large numbers are read, and we will help you remember them. Remember that you will need numbers in English throughout your life. Therefore, it will be right to learn to read and write now, so that later there will be no problems with them.
The first 12 numbers of the English language
The spelling of English numbers looks exactly the same. Here is a special table where there are examples with translation and transcription of how each such number is written and pronounced:
In addition, there is also the number 0, which is written in cursive in English as "zero".
Numbers up to 20
The numbers from 11 to 20 in English are in the same order as in Russian. In general, it is worth noting that both we and English-speaking people use the same system of numbers - Arabic, so we will all count the same way.
However, our numbers are pronounced quite differently. In the interval from 10 to 20, there are not quite ordinary composite numbers. At first everything goes normally: ten, eleven, twelve, but then words with the -teen suffix appear. Here's what their spelling and pronunciation look like:
As you can see, -teen is added to all numbers from thirteen to nineteen, and the word twenty is generally unusual. If you know what a ten is, it will be easy for you: twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, etc. will no longer have -teen at the end, but -ty: thirty (thirty), sixty (sixty), etc. d.
Pay attention to the word forty! It reads quite normally, but is already written without the letter u: forty. Likewise with the word fifty; one will be written as fifty, that is, through two letters f.
Counting in this way, you can form English numbers from 1 to 100. But how will 100 still be?
Numbers 100, 1000, 1000,000
The word "hundred" will be written as hundred. When we want to use more than a hundred items in English, we usually add the word and (“and”). Very convenient, right? We can also count hundreds ourselves, because we say “two hundred”, “three hundred”, “four hundred”, etc. Similarly, we can display similar numbers in English:
100 - one hundred, 105 - one hundred and five
200 - two hundred, 217 - two hundred and seventeen
