Instructions
In primary accounting documents, the amount is first recorded in numbers, where p. and kopecks, dollars and cents, euros and eurocents, etc. For example: 1278 rub. 13 kopecks, 1287.46 US, 1256.43 euros. Then it opens and begins recording with capital letters. RUR, dollars, euros are written in full. The digital value remains pennies, US cents and euro cents. The entry is closed with a parenthesis. For example: 1256 rub. 43 kopecks (One thousand two hundred seventy-eight rubles 13 kopecks), 1287.46 US dollars (One thousand two hundred eighty-seven US dollars 46 US cents), 1256.43 euros (One thousand two hundred fifty-six euros 43 euro cents). Please note that the part with the expression in r., euro is in the nominative case.
You can use a method in which the digital value of kopecks, cents and eurocents is written only once outside the brackets. For example: 2178 (Two thousand one hundred seventy eight) rub. 43 kopecks Here you can use the full and abbreviated name “r.” and “kopecks”, but uniform.
This option for writing the amount is not excluded: indicating kopecks, cents and eurocents in digital value through a fractional line with the number 100. For example: “Your debt under agreement No. 10035 is 11239.61 (eleven thousand two hundred thirty-nine 61/100) euros.”
The use of the genitive case in deciphering the amount is necessary when indicating the limits of the amount. For example: “not less than 5 million (Five million) rubles,” “not more than 4,000 (Four thousand) euros.”
note
When drawing up a document, you must check whether the currency is indicated after the brackets, as a contradiction may arise. For example: “17669.58 (seventeen thousand six hundred sixty rubles fifty-eight kopecks)” In the transcript we are talking about rubles, but in the document it can be dollars or euros. Therefore, this entry should be written correctly as follows: “RUR 17,669.58. (seventeen thousand six hundred sixty rubles fifty-eight kopecks)"

- how to write numbers in words
Today we constantly have to deal with the need to write numbers in letters or words. Especially often such a need arises when it is necessary, for example, in an invoice or pay slip, to give monetary amounts indicated by numbers a verbal form. In order to do this, it is worth remembering the following important points.
You will need
- Any grammar reference book on the Russian language, for example: Kamynina A.A. Modern Russian language. Morphology (see internet link below).
Instructions
Remember that numerals (i.e. verbal equivalents of numbers and numbers) denoting 300 and 400 end in -hundred. Remember that numerals that are multiples of one hundred (from 500 to 900) always have a soft sign (-b-) in front of the -hundred part: five-b-hundred, six-b-hundred, etc.
Many students have problems writing numbers in words. To write this part of speech correctly, you need to know the basic rules for writing numbers in words, which are described in detail in this article. For a better understanding of the material, illustrative examples for each rule are given.
There is nothing difficult about writing numbers: 10, 20, 17, 66 etc. But writing numerals in words can be difficult. To do this you need to know some rules.
Writing numerals in words
In order to write these words correctly, you need to take note of three main points:
- First you need to learn how to write simple numbers from 1 to 10.
- Take into account that the numbers from 11 to 19 once had 2 roots.
- When writing complex numerals, you should mentally divide them into parts and simply remember how these parts are written.
Basic rules for writing numbers in words
- At the end of all numerals from 5 to 15 the letter ь is written. There is only one soft sign in all these words. That is, write “ fifteen”, “sixteen” are not allowed.
- In the number 4, when written in words, two letters e are used: h e tyr e.
- Numerals from 9 to 19 end in -yat, -yat: nine, twenty, eighteen.
- Numerals from 11 to 19 were historically formed from combinations one two Three etc. at ten. Then three words merged into one, while from the word ten only the shortened part remains "-twenty" and in the first numeral the last letter was shortened, including b. For example: thirteen fourteen. But in the numerals 11 and 12 the first part has been preserved completely.
- The numeral 11 contains two letters n: odie nn ten.
- In numerals from 50 to 80, from 500 to 900, the spelling of the first parts is completely preserved: five + ten(s) - fifty; six + hundred (en) - six hundred.
- Numerals with 6 or more zeros are written with two letters l: million, trillion etc.
- In the numeral 200 the letter is written at the end And: two hundred And .
- The numerals 300 and 400 end with a letter A: three hundred, four hundred.
- In the numeral 1000 is in plural form. number of R. p. no soft sign is written: fifty thousand dollars.
The spelling of numerals can always be checked in a dictionary.
Not a day goes by without using numbers. Find out what time it is; write down the phone number of a business partner or a girl you like; dictate the delivery address for sushi or pizza—everywhere you will need to know the number in English. As in the Russian language, British vocabulary has its own characteristics depending on the area of use. Let's look at them.
Writing numbers in words
Many remember with pain their school Russian language lessons on the topic “Numerals”. There were so many rules, exceptions and caveats! How difficult were the numerals to decline? But English numbers, like many other aspects, are much simpler.
Initially, you will need to remember 13 basic numerals:
zero - zero or thought
one - one
two - two
three - three
four - four
five - five
six - six
seven - seven
eight - eight
nine - nine
ten - ten
eleven - eleven
twelve - twelve
Most likely, these words are familiar to everyone, since they are often used in popular songs, and are also part of the school English curriculum.
To continue counting in English, you only need two suffixes: - teen And - ty, which are attached to the root of one of the 13 basic numerals. Teen used for numbers from 13 before 19 . For education ten(twenty, thirty, forty, etc.) the suffix is used - ty.
For example, to write the number 13 we take the root of the number three - thir and add the suffix to it - teen — thirteen. And for 30 in English you need the same root thir, but already the suffix ten - ty — thirty thirty.
The suffixes -teen and -ty sound very similar, so confusion arises. But there is a tricky hint that will help put everything in its place once and for all. Remember who they are teenagers? Once again, simple English provides a clue for all times. age- age, teen- numeral suffix " transitional» ages - from 13 to 19. For other numbers in English you will need the suffix -ty. We hope this trick will forever help clear up the confusion between whether 17 is seventeen or seventy in English. We remember about teenagers - and voila!
To use it in any area of linguistic communication, you only need to remember 2 points: there are two types or classes of numerals in English speech - ordinal and cardinal.
Ordinal, based on the name, indicates what the subject is in order. For example, first in line or forty-ninth on the list.
Quantitative, therefore, answers the question “how much?” and indicate the total quantity. For example: one house, three horses, a thousand things to do.
Numbers in English, as in Russian, have the same root. All except the first three. But if in our grammar there are several suffixes for forming an ordinal number from a cardinal number, but in English there is only one - th.
The table below shows how easy it is to form an ordinal number from a cardinal number. The only thing you shouldn’t forget about is the definite article “ the”, which must be placed before ordinal numbers.
| NUMBER | QUANTITATIVE NUMERAL | ORDINAL NUMERAL |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | one | the first |
| 2 | two | the second |
| 3 | three | the third |
| 4 | four | the forth |
| 5 | five | the fifth |
| 6 | six | the sixth |
| 7 | seven | the seventh |
| 8 | eight | the eighth |
| 9 | nine | the ninth |
| 10 | ten | the tenth |
| 11 | eleven | the eleventh |
| 12 | twelve | the twelfth |
| 13 | thirteen | the thirteenth |
| 14 | fourteen | the fourteenth |
| 15 | fifteen | the fifteenth |
| 16 | sixteen | the sixteenth |
| 17 | seventeen | the seventeenth |
| 18 | eighteen | the eighteenth |
| 19 | nineteen | the nineteenth |
| 20 | twenty | the twentieth |
| 21 | twenty one | the twenty first |
| 22 | twenty two | the twenty second |
| 23 | twenty three | the twenty third |
| 30 | thirty thirty | the thirtieth |
| 40 | forty | the fortieth |
| 50 | fifty | the fiftieth |
| 60 | sixty | the sixtieth |
| 70 | seventy | the seventies |
| 80 | eighty | the eightieth |
| 90 | ninety | the ninetieth |
| 100 | one hundred | the one hundredth |
| 1000 | one thousand | the one thousandth |
| 101 | one hundred and one | the one hundred and first |
| 1001 | one thousand and one | the one thousand and first |
| 1035 | one thousand and thirty five | the one thousand and thirty fifth |
| 10463 | ten thousand four hundred and sixty three | the ten thousand four hundred and sixty third |
Writing numbers in digits
The English-speaking population uses the same number system as we do - Arabic, so there should not be any difficulties with writing cardinal numbers. It is worth paying attention to the use of ordinal numbers, where the following abbreviations are used:
the first-1st
the second-2nd
the third-3rd
the fourth-4th
the eleventh-11th
the twenty first-21st
As you can see, the general principle of abbreviation is to drop the article and add the last two letters of the ordinal number written in words to the number. Despite the fact that in writing the article is dropped, when reading a number in English it is still necessary to add an article.
1st prize -the first prize
Numbers in addresses
The numbers in English as part of the address, in general, are no different from the writing of our addresses. Cardiac numbers are used to indicate the number of a house, building, apartment or office. If the name of a street or business contains an ordinal number, then the abbreviation from the previous section should be used:
1st Avenue - 1st Avenue
To save space on the envelope, numbers are written digitally rather than in capital letters. But it is worth noting that the building number in the English version is indicated before the street name, and not after, as in our case. You can read more about writing an address in English.
Numbers in years and months
A common mistake when writing the day of the month in English is to use a cardinal number instead of an ordinal number. That is, not 21
-e(what?) March, and 21
(How many?) March. Rely on your native language when translating dates:
22
-e April(which order is the cardinal number) - 22nd April.
Twenty second of April - the twenty second of April
Please note: when writing abbreviated date, article omitted the and pretext of, indicating the genitive case. When reading abbreviated dates must be added article And pretext. Otherwise, it will turn out not “April 22nd”, but “April twenty-second”. Alternatively, the date can be written like this:
April 22, 2017 - the twenty second of April twenty seventeen
When reading the year, it is customary to divide a four-digit number in English into two pairs. In the case of the beginning of the two thousandths, from 2001 to 2009, they use the Russian analogue - two thousand and one, two thousand and nine. But not everything is analogous to Russian speech in the language of Shakespeare. The word “year” is not added at the end of the phrase:
March 8, 2029 - the eighth of March twenty twenty nine.
If it is necessary to indicate the period BC or, conversely, after the birth of Christ, the following abbreviations are used: B.C. - before Christ - before the birth of Christ (BC); A.D. - Anno Domini (lat.) - from the birth of Christ (AD).
Numbers in hours and minutes
The British use the European time system, consisting of 24 hours, but Americans prefer two by twelve - before noon and after noon. Before noon, that is, starting With 00:00 And until 12:00, denoted by letters a.m. (ANTE MERIDIEM - from Latin until noon). Beginning from lunch And until midnight numbers are used p.m. (POST MERIDIEM - from Latin after noon).
Most often, making life easier for ourselves and for us, the English-speaking population first names the hours, then the minutes, using cardinal numerals:
It's 5:15 - it's five fifteen.
But true gentlemen, like the Russian intelligentsia, can use the following phrases in their speech:
It's quarter to ten. - A quarter to ten.
It's half past nine. - Half past ten.
It's ten past eleven. - Ten past eleven.
To easily navigate such phrases, you need to remember just three words:
quarter- quarter
past- after
to- before
We have already studied the remaining numbers in English above.
Thus, any similar expression can be constructed. A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes. Hence, a quarter to two(that is, 15 minutes left until two) will sound in English it's quarter to two. If now quarter past seven(that is, 15 minutes have passed after six in the evening), then in English we will say it's quarter past six.
Often confusion is caused by the indication of half an hour. In Russian we use half of the next hour - half past nine - 8:30. The British rely on facts - what has already happened: 8:30 - thirty minutes after eight - It's half past eight.
ID numbers
Identification numbers include any numbering of objects, phenomena and even people. It would seem that numbering implies the use of ordinal numbers, but in reality this does not always happen.
When talking about people, it is customary to use ordinal numbers with articles:
Peter I - Peter the First
When talking about events, we use cardinal numbers:
The Second World War - World War Two
In other cases, cardinal numbers are most often used:
Channel Nine - Channel Nine, platform 9 3/4 - Platform Nine and Three Quarters.
A similar principle should be used when identifying buildings and structures, car numbers, and so on. It is allowed to add the word “ number» when numbering objects: car No. 13 - carriage number thirteen/carriage thirteen.
Numbers in fractions and percentages
We use numbers in English in fractions and percentages in the same way as in Russian:
1/2 - one second part. This phrase uses a cardinal number (one), an ordinal number (second).
1/2 - one second part - one second
One part is often called another numeral. 1/2 is half, 1/3 is a third, 1/3 is a quarter, etc. In English, for this, the number “one” is replaced by the article “a”:
1/2 - half - a half
1/3 - third - a third
1/4 - quarter - a forth
If there are parts two, then it will sound in Russian already in plural number, which means we also use the plural in a foreign language:
2/9 - two ninths - two ninths
Percentages are expressed using decimal fractions, and here the British implement what Russian mathematics teachers everywhere prohibit - they simply name the numbers before and after the point! Moreover, the word itself “ dot" sounds like " point».
1.11 - one point one one
12.842 - one two point eight four two
999.209 - nine nine nine point two night nine/ nine nine nine point two o nine
Zero in mathematics most often sounds like “ thought", but in everyday life it is acceptable to use " zero" And " o" If there is a zero before the dot, it can be omitted:
0.4 - thought point four/point four
0.02 - nought point nought two / point nought two / point o two
0.34 -thought point three four/point three four
Chapter and page numbering
In books, numbers in English are used according to the principle of identifying objects - the cardinal number is placed after the name of the object:
Chapter I (Chapter One) - Chapter I (Chapter One)
Page 487 (page four hundred eighty seven) - page 487 (page four hundred and eighty seven)
Spelling large numbers
Large numbers in English are written similarly to our numerals:
two thousand four hundred seventy two - two thousand four hundred and seventy two
Three million fifteen thousand two hundred two - three million fifteen thousand two hundred and two
If the number can be reduced to half, then the word “ half»:
Seven and a half billion people live on earth. - There are seven and a half billion people on earth.
Important: indicating the exact quantity, ending with " s" For plural not added to the words hundred, thousand,million, billion billion etc. Plural is used only when it is necessary to emphasize the mass character without indicating the exact number in English:
There were hundreds of people there. - There were hundreds of people there.
Remember: between hundreds and tens in large numbers it is customary to add the conjunction “ and».
Numbers in business documents
English numbers in documents are used according to general rules, but require mandatory duplication in written and numerical equivalent:
17,200 (seventeen thousand two hundred) inconsistencies were identified. - There were 17,200 (seventeen thousand and two hundred) discrepancies found.
Numbers in statistics
Similar to official papers, numbers in English are used in statistics. It is allowed not to use duplication here, but it is required maintaining uniformity: either all data is indicated in numbers, or everything is written in words.
Numbers at the beginning of sentences
It is not customary to use English numbers at the beginning of a sentence; they should be replaced with capital numerals:
10 little black kids went to dinner. - Ten piccaninnies went out to dine.
Combined numbers
Combined numbers include the use of both alphabetic and digital equivalents of numerals. According to writing ethics, it is preferable to use only one of the options throughout the text. But in cases where the abundance of numbers may interfere with the perception of information, the use of words and numbers is allowed:
In West Virginia, 15 two-story buildings burned to the ground last night. - Last night fifteen 2-storied buildings burnt down to ashes in West Virginia.
Conclusion
Despite the vastness of the topic “Numbers in English,” remembering the basic rules is not difficult. The key to success in using a language is constant practice. Take your old school math notebooks and try to translate the examples and problems into English. Read newspapers and periodicals with statistical data. And best of all, go to the “Series” section and watch Sillicon Valley, where you are guaranteed to encounter large sums and abundant statistical data, which will help you remember numbers in English forever!

Big and friendly EnglishDom family
Then parents begin to wonder how to correctly write numbers in words, what to learn themselves and then teach their child. Yes Yes! After all, parents write numbers at random, and not as required at school. Therefore, here are our recommendations for writing numbers.
We begin to draw a line from the center of the cell to its upper right corner, and then draw the stick down, trying not to go beyond the bottom border of the cell.
Look at the picture and you will understand how to spell the number 1 correctly.
If your child still cannot write the number 1 correctly, practice individual elements of the number and only then start writing the entire number 1.
How to spell number 2 correctly
The number 2 needs to fit in the cage first, so it is important that its head and tail are inside the cage. It’s good if the number 2 does not fall forward or backward.
Look how the artist drew number 2 and repeat the same number 2 in your notebook.
How to spell the number 3 correctly
The rule is the same - the number must fit inside the cage, while the upper hook of the number 3 is approximately half as long as the lower one. In the figure you will see how to circle the number 3.
Practice the elements of number 3 in a notebook if it is difficult to print number 3 right away.
How to spell number 4 correctly
If in the textbook the number 3 resembles its written form, then the number 4 does not at all resemble its written form. The number 4 consists of two separate elements. When writing the number 4, he may lift the pen from the paper. It is important to draw two elements - an inclined stick, like the number 1, and an angled stick to the left of it.
Look at the direction in which the number 4 is written. This is a real written number, and the child should be prohibited from drawing the same triangle as the printed number 4.
The number 5 can be written without lifting your hand from the notebook, or you can divide it into two elements - a tail and an inclined stick with a semicircle. The second spelling is studied at school. The child must be explained that the tail should not jump out of the cage, it should not be made too wavy, the main thing is that it should be inside the cage.
Usually, writing the number 5 correctly does not cause any serious difficulties for children.
Children often confuse the numbers 6 and 9. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly indicate to the child that the numbers 6 and 9 are similar to each other, but the number 6 has a hook at the top, and the number nine has it at the bottom. You can come up with some kind of associative series to remember this.
They start writing the number 6 from the top and, smoothly drawing the line down, wrap it towards the middle of the cell.
The printed number 7 does not have a stick in the middle. However, children easily remember its necessity, otherwise there will always be confusion with the number 1. However, for example, in England, children do not write a stick in the middle for seven. And the difference between 1 and 7 is only in the slope of the small upper elements, relative to the vertical slash.
How to write numbers in words correctly - look at our pictures.
How to spell the number 8 correctly
The number 8 is the least favorite number among first-graders. It is quite difficult to write - you need to bend the line twice when writing out this number.
Usually, the difficulty of writing the number 8 lies in the fact that it is still difficult for a child to compare the sizes of the upper and lower ovals of this number.
Everything will come with writing experience. Practice writing the individual elements of this number first, and then combine them into a single whole.
How to spell the number 9 correctly
The number 9 is a circle at the top and a squiggle at the bottom - see how this can be drawn in the picture.
It is important to remember in which direction to move the squiggle - to the right or to the left - all this comes with experience. The more numbers he writes, the faster he will remember how to correctly write numbers in words.
The most important thing is to sit correctly at the table, so that the numbers written down are well lit and that the child’s pen is comfortable.
