Numbers (1-100)


Counting to 100 follows a pattern in English once the basic units are learned:


1 one             11 eleven
2 two             12 twelve
3 three           13 thirteen
4 four            14 fourteen
5 five             15 fifteen
6 six              16 sixteen
7 seven          17 seventeen
8 eight           18 eighteen
9 nine            19 nineteen
10 ten            20 twenty


21 twenty-one          57 fifty-seven
22 twenty-two          60 sixty
30 thirty                   68 sixty-eight
33 thirty-three          70 seventy
34 thirty-four           79 seventy-nine
40 forty                   80 eighty
45 forty-five            90 ninety
46 forty-six             99 ninety-nine
50 fifty                   100 one hundred


Note that to count from 20—99, all you have to do is add a hyphen (-) and the second number: 33 = thirty + (-) + three.
