LES NOMBRES (0-100) en francais (content created by PRITHA BASU)

 



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.
