Numbers are the building blocks of our world, from counting our steps to understanding complex scientific equations. But what happens when we need to express those numbers in English? Don't worry, it's not as complicated as it seems! This guide will help you master the art of saying numbers in English, from the simple "one" to the mighty "billion."
Numbers in English: A Guide to Saying Those Digits

Imagine this: you're trying to order a pizza over the phone and you need to tell the person on the other end how many slices you want. Or maybe you're looking for a specific address and need to know how to say the house number. Numbers are essential for everyday communication, and knowing how to say them in English will make your life a lot easier.

Let's start with the basics:

  • 0-9: Zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Simple enough, right?

  • 10-19: Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen. These ones have their own unique names.

  • 20-90: Twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety. Notice the pattern here? We simply add "ty" to the end of the number.

  • 100+: One hundred, two hundred, three hundred, and so on. For numbers like 101, 102, and so on, we say "one hundred one," "one hundred two," and so on.

    • Now, let's get a little more advanced. For larger numbers:

  • 1,000: One thousand

  • 1,000,000: One million

  • 1,000,000,000: One billion

    • Remember, when dealing with large numbers, we use "and" to connect the different parts. For example, 1,234 would be "one thousand two hundred thirty-four."

    And if you need to say decimal numbers, just say the whole number first, then "point," followed by the decimal part. For example, 3.14 would be "three point one four."

    Learning to say numbers in English might seem daunting at first, but with a little practice, you'll be confidently counting, ordering, and navigating the world in no time!
