by

When we started learn a new language, as it could be the French language or English, one of the first things to be very clear is the numbers. Therefore, today we are going to see how they are written, how they are pronounced and some extra exercises so that you can practice. In addition, we have prepared a very catchy song in which a native French person sings the numbers from 1 to 20. Are you ready? Have a good coffee and… let's get started!

How to write numbers in French

In this first section we have lists some very useful tables in which you can see the number itself on the far left, how it is written in French in the central column and, finally, how it is written in Spanish in the last column.

14 quatorze catorce
15 quinze fifteen
16 seize sixteen
17 dix-sept diecisiete
18 dix-huit eighteen
19 dix-neuf nineteen
20 vingt veinte

As we can see, the first twenty numbers are quite similar to Spanish. The main thing to remember from this section is that until the sixteenth, equality is maintained. Later, it is simpler, since 17, 18 and 19 are formed by joining the diez (dix) and the corresponding number. In this way, respectively: dix-sept, dix-huit and dix-neuf.

French numbers from 1 to 100 have some nuances that should be remembered. As we can see, when it ends in 1, the famous and, in this way 21 is said twenty one, 61 is said soixante et a, etc. The rest of the numbers are formed in the logical way, the only thing is that you have to join them with a hyphen. Thus, 68 is 60 + 8, that is, soixante-huit. All this that we are counting is the general rule for the numbers from 20 to 60. As we will see next, the numbers 70, 80 and 90 are special.

There is no direct translation of the setenta in French. It is formed in a very mathematical way, since 70 = 60 + 10, then the Number seventy in French is soixante-dix. The number 80 follows the same mathematical basis since 80 = 4 * 20, then eighty is said eighty. Finally, 90 becomes the same as seventy because: 90 = 80 + 10. Then, ninety is quatre-vingt-dix. For intermediate numbers such as 75 or 84, the rule of the script in the previous paragraph is followed. For example, seventy-five would be soixante-fifteen and eighty-four would be quatre-vingt-quatre.

If you are interested in seeing a number greater than 100, we have prepared a table with numbers up to 1000 in French, as it would take up a lot of space on the screen, we have prepared a PDF with the table and the rest of the article to print.
