_Total__/ 60 Numerals. Meaning and Use
The numeral is a part of speech indicating number absolutely (five centuries) or relatively to other persons and things in a series (the fifth century).Accordingly numerals are divided into cardinal and ordinal numerals (or cardinals and ordinals).
Cardinal numerals (one, two, five, etc.) indicate the exact number and are used in counting as in five books, or in reading indications as in page 6 (six), chapter 11 (eleven), No 24 (twenty-four), flat 51 (fifty-one). (Cf., however, Russian where both cardinals and ordinals are possible: страница шесть и страница шестая; глава одиннадцать и глава одиннадцатая; номер двадцать четыре и номер двадцать четвертый, квартира пятьдесят один и квартира пятьдесят первая). Cardinals may be simple words (numerals from one to twelve and the words hundred, thousand and million), derivatives with the suffix -teen (from thir teen to nine teen) and – ty indicating tens as in twen ty, thir ty, etc., and composits spelt with a hyphen as twenty-one, thirty-two or written separately as two hundred and forty-five. NOTE: a) the use of the conjunction and in a composite after the word hundred before the last word, in this case it is forty-five. b) the use of the words hundred, thousand, and million: when used of a definite number (or the word several) – they are never made plural: six hundred men, two hundred times, several million dollars (note also the lack of the preposition of in this case).
The expressions dozen and score follow the same rules: a dozen eggs but dozens of eggs.
c) The plural forties denotes an age or a period between 40 and 50; similarly with fifties, sixties, etc.: She was a good-looking woman in her forties. The book was published in the seventies/in the ’70s/in the 1970s.
Ordinal numerals (first, second, etc.) show the order of persons and things. Ordinals (with exception of the first three – first, second, third) are formed by means of the suffix –th. Generally, they are used with the definite article: the six th, the eigh th but sometimes with the indefinite article when they do not show a definite order but have the meaning ‘one more’: a third baby cried.
Examples of cardinals and ordinals are presented in the following list. 0 nought, etc. 1 one 1st first 2 two 2nd second 3 three 3rd (3d) third 4 four 4th fourth 5 five 5th fifth 6 six 6th sixth 7 seven 7th seventh 8 eight 8th eighth 9 nine 9th ninth 10 ten 10th tenth 11 eleven 11th eleventh 12 twelve 12th twelfth 13 thirteen 13th thirteenth 14 fourteen 14th fourteenth 15 fifteen 15th fifteenth 16 sixteen 16th sixteenth 17 seventeen 17th seventeenth 18 eighteen 18th eighteenth
20 twenty 20th twentieth 21 twenty-one, etc. 21st twenty-first, etc. 30 thirty 30th thirtieth 40 forty 40th fortieth 100 one/a hundred 100th (one) hundredth 101 one/a hundred and one 101st (one) hundred and first 400 four hundred 400th four hundredth 1,000 one thousand 1,000th (one) thousandth 100,000 one/a hundred thousand 100,000th (one) hundred thousandth 1,000,000 one/a million 1,000,000 th (one) millionth
NOTE: a) the irregular spelling of ordinal numerals fifth, eighth, ninth, and twelfth; b) the suffixation of ordinal numbers expressed in figures – the last two letters of the written word must be added: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 3d, 4th.
How to say numbers And In British English, and is used before the last word which may be simple as in: 105 (read: a hundred and five); 101st (read: one hundred and first); or a composite as in: 786 (read: seven hundred and eighty-six); 6, 234 (read: six thousand two hundred and thirty-four).
A and one The words hundred, thousand and million can be used in the singular with a or one, but not alone. A is more common in an informal style, one is used when people are speaking more precisely. Compare: I want to live for a hundred years. The journey took exactly one hundred days. I’ve saved a thousand pounds. Pay the inspector of taxes one thousand pounds only (on a cheque).
146 (read: a hundred and forty-six) 3,146 (read: three thousand, one hundred and forty-six)
They say ‘ a thousad ’ for the ‘round number 1,000’, and before and, but they say ‘ one thousand’ before a number of hundreds. Compare: 1,000 (read: a thousand) 1,031 (read: a thousand and thirty-one); 1,100 (read: one thousand, one hundred ) 1, 498 (read: one thousand, four hundred and ninety-eight).
Hundreds and thousands With round numbers between 1,100 and 1,900 they often say ‘ eleven hundred, twelve hundred’, etc. instead of ‘ one thousand and hundred’, etc.
