English Vocabulary

There are two main types of numbers:

Cardinal Numbers - 1 (one), 2 (two) etc. (Used mainly for counting)

Ordinal Numbers - 1st (first), 2nd (second) etc. (Used mainly for putting things in a sequence)

Cardinal Numbers

Cardinal numbers are normally used when you:

count things: I have two brothers. There are thirty-one days in January.

give your age: I am thirty-three years old. My sister is twenty-seven years old.

give your telephone number: Our phone number is two-six-three, three-eight-four-seven. (481-2240)

give years: She was born in nineteen seventy-five (1975). America was discovered in fourteen ninety-two

Notice how we divide the year into two parts. This is the form for year up to 1999. For the year 2000 and on, we say two thousand (2000), two thousand and one (2001), two thousand and two (2002) etc.

Ordinal Numbers

You can normally create Ordinal numbers by adding -TH to the end of a Cardinal Number.

Ordinal numbers are normally used when you:

give a date: My birthday is on the 27th of January. (Twenty-seventh of January)

put things in a sequence or order: Liverpool came second in the football league last year.

give the floor of a building: His office is on the tenth floor.

have birthdays: He had a huge party for his twenty-first birthday.

refer to centuries: Shakespeare was born in the 16th century.

For the name of a king or queen in written English, Roman numerals are used = Henry VIII
but in Spoken English you would say Henry the Eighth.

Cardinal Numbers

Listen to the pronunciation of the numbers from 1 to 100 in the following video:

Here is a list of cardinal numbers in English

* Instead of saying One Hundred, you can say A hundred.

e.g. (127) one hundred and twenty-seven OR (127) a hundred and twenty-seven.

The same rule applies for one thousand (a thousand) and one million (a million)

Notice that you need to use a hyphen (-) when you write the numbers between 21 and 99.

With long numbers, we usually divide them into groups of three which are divided by a comma. e.g. 5000000 (5 million) is normally written as 5,000,000

Version of this chart for Parents and Teachers (Each purchase helps us to create more free ESL material)

The Number 0

We normally say 'zero' for the number '0'.

BUT when we give our telephone number, we often say O like the name of the letter O.

e.g. 505-1023 = five-O-five, one-O-two-three

See our page about telephone numbers in English

Fractions and Decimals

We use ordinal numbers (at the end position) to talk about fractions.

1/2 - a half

1/3 - a third

2/3 - two thirds

1/4 - a quarter (a fourth)

3/4 - three quarters (three fourths)

1/5 - a fifth

2/5 - two fifths

1/6 - a sixth

5/6 - five sixths

1/7 - a seventh

1/8 - an eighth

1/10 - a tenth

7/10 - seven tenths

1/20 - a twentieth

47/100 - forty-seven hundredths

1/100 - a hundredth

1/1,000 - a thousandth

Notice that for 1/4, you can say a quarter OR a fourth.

IF we have a whole number with a fraction, we use the word AND between the two parts.
e.g. 2 3/5 = two and a three-fifths

For parts of whole numbers, we use a decimal point (and NOT a comma).
e.g. 2 1/2 (two and a half) = 2.5 (two point five)

If there is more than one number after the decimal point, we say each number individually.
e.g. 3,456.789 = three thousand, four hundred and fifty-six point seven eight nine.

The exception to this rule is when we are talking about dollars and cents (or pound and pence)
e.g. $21.95 = twenty-one dollars, ninety-five (cents). Saying the word cents at the end is optional.

We need to use the Present Simple a lot in English, so it's really important to understand it well. Many students have problems with the form (or how to make it).

Simple present tense with 'be'

The verb 'be' is different from the other verbs in this tense. Let's look at 'be' first:

Here's the positive form (positive means a normal sentence, not a negative or a question. This is sometimes called 'affirmative')

Click here to practise making the positive with 'be'.

Next, here's the negative. It's very easy. You only add 'not'.

Click here to practise making the negative with 'be'.

And finally let's talk about the question form of the present simple with 'be'.

Firstly, here's the 'yes / no' question form:

Click here to practise making yes / no questions with 'be'.

If you'd like to make a 'wh' question, you just put the question word at the front:

Click here to practise making 'wh' questions with 'be' .

Click here to practise making positive, negative and question forms with 'be' (exercise 1)
Click here to practise making positive, negative and question forms with 'be' (exercise 2)

Present simple tense with other verbs

With all other verbs, we make the present simple in the same way.

The positive is really easy. It's just the verb with an extra 's' if the subject is 'he', 'she', or 'it'. Let's take the verb 'play' as an example:

Don't forget the 's'! Even really advanced students do this!

For a few verbs, there is a spelling change before the 's'. For example, 'study' becomes 'studies'. Click here for a list of these verbs
.

Click here to practise making the positive form for other verbs (exercise 1)
Click here to practise making the positive form for other verbs (exercise 2)

To make the negative form, you need to use 'do not' (don't) or ' does not' (doesn't).

Click here to practise making the negative (exercise 1)
Click here to practise making the negative (exercise 2)

How about the question form of the present simple tense?

We use 'do' or 'does' before the subject to make the 'yes / no' question:

Click here to practise making yes / no questions.

Just like with 'be', if you'd like to make a 'wh' question, you just put the question word at the front:

One, two, three ... are cardinal numbers.

Ordinal numbers normally show the order or sequence of something or someone.
(More about the uses of ordinal numbers below)

You can normally create ordinal numbers by adding -TH to the end of a cardinal number.

The main exceptions are with the numbers 1, 2, and 3.

Also you need to be careful with the spelling of some ordinal numbers:

When do we use ordinal numbers?
