Numbers 1 to 1000 in English
Learning how to read numbers in English can be a little tricky, especially when you get into the larger numbers. But don't worry, it's easier than you think! Let's break it down step by step.
Numbers 1-10
These are the most basic numbers and you should already know them:
- One
- Two
- Three
- Four
- Five
- Six
- Seven
- Eight
- Nine
- Ten
Numbers 11-19
These are slightly different and need to be memorized:
- Eleven
- Twelve
- Thirteen
- Fourteen
- Fifteen
- Sixteen
- Seventeen
- Eighteen
- Nineteen
Numbers 20-90
These numbers follow a pattern:
- Twenty
- Thirty
- Forty
- Fifty
- Sixty
- Seventy
- Eighty
- Ninety
Numbers 21-99
To form numbers between 21 and 99, we combine the tens with the numbers 1-9:
- Twenty-one
- Thirty-two
- Forty-five
- Eighty-nine
Numbers 100-900
For these numbers, we use "hundred" after the number:
- One hundred
- Two hundred
- Three hundred
- Four hundred
- ... and so on.
Numbers 101-999
To read numbers between 101 and 999, we combine the hundreds with the numbers 1-99:
- One hundred and one
- Two hundred and twenty-five
- Three hundred and sixty-eight
The Number 1000
The number 1000 is read as one thousand.
Example
- 345 - three hundred and forty-five
- 762 - seven hundred and sixty-two
- 989 - nine hundred and eighty-nine
Remember: In American English, we use "and" to connect the hundreds with the remaining numbers. In British English, "and" is often omitted.
With a little practice, you'll be reading numbers from 1 to 1000 like a pro in no time!
