Écrivez les nombres en lettres (Write the numbers in
words - 0 to 10,000)
Rules and shortcuts to remember numbers:
1.
Know the multiples of 10 (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100) by-heart. Without knowing
the multiples of 10, you cannot go from one multiple of 10 to the next because
the same word will be used.
10
– dix, 20 – vingt, 30 – trente, 40 – quarante, 50 –
cinquante, 60 – soixante, 70 – soixante-dix, 80 –
quatre-vingts, 90 – quatre-vingt-dix, 100 – cent
So,
for example, 21 to 29 will be : vingt et un, vingt-deux, vingt trois,
vingt-quatre, vingt-cinq, vingt-six, vingt-sept, vingt-huit, vingt-neuf and 31
to 39 will be : trente et un, trente-deux, trente-trois,
trente-quatre….and so on till trente-neuf.
2.
For numbers 21, 31, 41, 51, 61 and 71, the word ‘et’ is used but no hyphen.
21
– vingt et un, 31 – trente et un, 41 – quarante et un, 51
– cinquante et un, 61 – soixante et un, 71 – soixante et onze
3.
The numbers 70, 80 and 90 are written differently from the other multiples of 10 which have a
unique word
70
– soixante-dix, 80 – quatre-vingts, 90 – quatre-vingt-dix
4. For numbers 71 to 79 and
91 to 99, you will have to write numbers 11 to 19.
71 – 79:
soixante et onze, soixante-douze, soixante-treize, soixante-quatorze,
soixante-quinze, soixante-seize, soixante-dix-sept, soixante-dix-huit,
soixante-dix-neuf
91 – 99 :
quatre-vingt-onze, quatre-vingt-douze, quatre-vingt-treize,
quatre-vingt-quatorze, quatre-vingt-quinze, quatre-vingt-seize,
quatre-vingt-dix-sept, quatre-vingt-dix-huit, quatre-vingt-dix-neuf
5. 100 : cent
1000 : mille
10,000 : dix mille
1, 000, 000 : un million
10, 000, 000: dix million (no ‘s’)
1, 000, 000, 000: un milliard (billion)
6. ‘s’ or no ‘s’?
A – With cent (100)
Cent takes an ‘s’ only when the
number of hundreds is above one and if no other number follows it
200 - Deux cents
250 - Deux cent cinquante
B – with mille (1000)
Mille never takes an S.
3000 - Trois mille
9000 – neuf mille
7. Hyphen or no hyphen?
There
is only an hyphen in numbers under 100.
After 100 (cent) or after 1000
(mille) no hyphen follows:
·
101 –
Cent un
·
116 –
Cent seize
·
117 – Cent dix–sept (after hundred, from ‘1’ to ‘16’
no hyphen. From ‘17’ to ‘99’ put hyphen for last two numbers)
·
1297 – Mille deux cent quatre–vingt–dix–sept.
·
1999 – Mille neuf cent quatre–vingt–dix–neuf (note the
hyphen for the last two numbers 99)
Remember, as long as you know how
to write the numbers from 1 to 100, and understand the words for 200, 300, 500,
and so on, you can apply all the rules to any number and get it right. This is
less about memorizing every single number and more about memorizing the key
numbers, the pattern that it follows, and constructing the higher numbers as
you go.
