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

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.

A forma verbal em inglês there to be expressa sentido de haver, existir ou ter, em português. Em inglês, o verbo varia de acordo com o número, de singular para plural, e de acordo com a variação temporal de presente para passado e futuro.

O there to be é constituído pelo there + o verbo to be correspondente ao pronome. Vale a pena relembrar a conjugação do verbo to be no presente:

Logo, temos duas formas, o there is e o there are. A primeira significa existe, há, ou tem; a segunda, existem, há. Observe:

Para a forma negativa, apenas acrescentamos a palavra NOT. Observe:

Para a forma interrogativa, apenas trocamos o verbo to be com o there, observe:

Não pare agora... Tem mais depois da publicidade ;)

There is: there's

There is not: There isn't

There are not: There aren't

This game replaces the previous game which is now phased out. The old game had the following description:

Choose whether to practice present simple verbs by navigating a treacherous galaxy filled with green monsters, a sea filled with pirates or a river filled with crocodiles. Either way this will keep your heart pounding. Suddenly English grammar practice is no longer boring with these games.

Games are useful for language learning because they provide a fun way to learn. Instead of many hours of worksheets, students can 'practice and play', with good results.

Games are great for motivating students to learn. By playing our fun educational games, students can practice and review key English vocabulary, grammar and sentences without the boredom which is usually encountered when doing paper-based gap-fill exercises. Play the game below and do not hesitate to share these resources with other learners. This is the philosophy behind our site - www.eslgamesplus.com.

O Possessive Case é utilizado para demonstrar posse, ou seja, para declarar que um sujeito possui algo. Para isso, faz-se necessário o acréscimo de apóstrofo + s ('s) ao substantivo.

Ex.:
This is Mary's book. (Este é o livro da Mary).
That is Susan's car. (Aquele é o carro da Susan).
Those are Ted's boots. (Aquelas são as botas do Ted).

É importante notar que quando o substantivo termina em "s" não é necessário acrescentar 's, acrescenta-se apenas o apóstrofo.

Ex.:
Chris' apartment is very huge. (O apartamento do Chris é imenso).
Charles' father is so strict. (O pai do Charles é tão severo).
The girls' backpacks are pink. (As mochilas das garotas são rosa).

Não pare agora... Tem mais depois da publicidade ;)

Quando há dois ou mais possuidores de um mesmo objeto, deve-se acrescentar o apóstrofo + s ('s) apenas no último possuidor.

Ex.:
Mary and Tom's daughter, Susan, is really smart. (A filha da Mary e do Tom, Susan, é muito esperta).
Bob and Jack's bedroom is a mess. (O quarto do Bob e do Jack está uma bagunça). Obs.: Nesse caso, o Bob e o Jack dividem o mesmo quarto.
Jack and Jill's video game is on the floor. (O jogo de videogame do Jack e do Jill está no chão). Obs.: Nesse caso, só há um jogo no chão e ele tem dois donos, que são o Jack e o Jill.

Quando houver dois possuidores e duas ou mais coisas possuídas, usa-se apóstrofo + s ('s) para todos os possuidores.

Ex.:
Carol's and Susan's daughters study at the same college. (As filhas da Carol e da Susan estudam na mesma universidade). Obs.: Nesse caso, tanto Carol quanto Susan têm filhas.
Tom's and Sam's offices are on that building. (Os escritórios do Tom e do Sam são naquele prédio). Obs.: Tom e Sam não dividem um escritório no prédio, cada um tem o seu.

Whose, possessive 's - Whose is this? It's Mike's

Possessive 's - Use and form

Possessive 's - use

We use 's to show that something belongs to a person (or a pet) or to talk about relationships between people.

We also use the possessive 's to talk about shops and houses.

Possessive 's - form

Singular noun + 's

Plural noun ending in -s + ' (apostrophe)

Irregular plural noun (NOT ending in -s) + 's

When one thing belongs to two or more people, add 's only after the last noun.

When we have two or more people, and each person has one thing, we add 's after each person.

Possessive of

We use of and NOT 's when we talk about things (and not people or pets).

Compound nouns - the city center

With nouns that are used together very often, we often use them together without of and without 's

Whose

When do we use whose?

We use the question word whose to ask about possession. There are two possible forms:

whose + noun

whose without a noun

When we answer with the possessive 's, we can also use 's + noun or 's without a noun.

Whose = possession (of who)

Who's = who is
