The topic of English numbers is quite complicated, since the formation of English numerals different from the education of Russians. There are rules, but there are exceptions, while both have their own peculiarities. Let's consider English numbers with transcription and Russian pronunciation, point out vivid examples and focus on the exception. Forward for new knowledge!

Numbers in English language are formed differently. Numerals from 1 to 10 have one formation rules, from 13 to 20 - others. Dozens, hundreds and thousands also have features of education.

Features of the formation of numerals from 1 to 12

The table below shows the numbers from 1 to 12 with transcription, Russian pronunciation and examples:

• We wanted one cake, two bananas ang eight apples => We wanted one cake, two bananas and eight apples.
• We need to buy avocado fot this recipe. Or better two ones => For this recipe we need to buy an avocado. Or better two.
• Three kilos of meat, four big tomatoes, five eggplants and garlic will made this evening much more better. I will prepare a very delicious dish by my own recipe! => Three kilos of meat, four large tomatoes, five eggplants and garlic will make the evening much better. I will cook a very tasty dish according to my own recipe!
• Eleven foxes and twelve wolves were seen on this week at this place => Eleven foxes and twelve wolves were seen this week at this place.

Features of the formation of numerals from 13 to 20

The table shows that numbers from 13 to 19 (inclusive) are written according to the same rules, a particle is added to the cardinal number (one, two, three) –teen. And do not confuse cardinal numbers with ordinal numbers! in English they are formed in a completely different way!

On a note! It must be remembered that there are exceptions to every rule. In this case, the exceptions will be the numerals 13 and 15. Their root three and five will have a modified form:

• Three => third
• Five => fifteen.

Not threeteen/fiveteen!!!

Some examples:

• Seventeen girls were seen at this party while only eight boys came. Seventeen girls were seen at the party, while only eight guys showed up.
• Seventeen pieces of cake were given to all those children. All these children were given seventeen pieces of cake.
• There is a lot of fish in this river. Nineteen kinds were known 5 years ago. — There are a lot of fish in this river. Five years ago, nineteen species were known.

Dozens of English numbers

The table clearly shows that dozens of digits are formed using a particle (suffix) –ty. These numerals are derivatives of cardinal numbers, you just need to add the -ty suffix.

Important! Remember that when forming the numbers 20,30, 40 and 50, the root of the quantitative digits, which serve as the basis for the formation of tens, will change:

• two-20 twenty [ˈtwenti]
• three - 30 thirty [ˈθɜːti]
• four - 40 forty [ˈfɔːti]
• five - 50 fifty [ˈfɪfti]

And one more nuance: the number 80 [ˈeɪti] is characterized by the absence of repetition of the letter t: eight(eight) = eighty(eight+ty=eightty).

Examples:

• Thirty exotic animals were needed to make the idea of ​​the movie complete => thirty exotic animals to complete the film idea (perfect).
• Sixty soldiers will come on parade in front of the palace => Sixty soldiers will come to the parade in front of the palace.
• Fifty of them knew the road but only thirty agreed to follow us => Fifty of them knew the road, but only thirty agreed to follow us.

As for the stress of numerals, which are formed with the help of -ty, then everything is simple - stress always will be on the first syllable.

Reference: it happens that it is difficult for novice students to separate numerals with -ty and -teen in colloquial speech. And here the stress will come to the rescue - if it is on the first syllable, then 100% we are dealing with dozens of numerals.

The foundation of the basics: how numbers are formed in English

When studying the formation of English numbers, it is important to remember that the numbers from 1 to 12 are simple cardinal numbers. Their task is to indicate the number of objects. Such numerals consist of one word. It is very important to remember the spelling of the first twelve digits, since they are marching for the formation of all other numbers - from thirteen to a billion.

How to pronounce the numerals that are formed by adding the -teen particle? Here you need to be very careful => the pronunciation of numerals (English digits) will have two stresses: on the first and second syllables. At the same time, we immediately note that the stresses will not be equal in strength. One of them will be secondary, and the other - the main one.

For example, how do you pronounce the word thirteen? The transcription [ˌθɜːˈtiːn] shows that the word has two stresses. The lower line indicates the secondary stress, the upper one - the main one. The same goes for fourteen [ˌfɔːˈtiːn] and fifteen [ˌfɪfˈtiːn]. There are also two accents - the main and additional.

What to do in order not to make a mistake with pronunciation? To do this, you must always look at transcription. Each numeral, like any other word, should be studied according to the following scheme: transcription - translation - the presence of several meanings.

Note! In some dictionaries, the stress of numerals is determined by the presence (absence) of a noun after it. For example, if the numeral is next to the noun, then the stress falls on the first syllable =>

• fifteen rivers [ˈfɪftiːn ˈrɪvər z]
• sixteen cats [ˈsɪkstiːn ˈkæts]

But! If the numeral stands separately in the sentence, without a noun, then the stress falls on the second syllable (on the suffix -teen):

• fifteen
• sixteen

Examples:

• Fifteen cats were sold this week (emphasis on the first syllable) => Fifteen cats were sold this week
• How many cats were sold this week? – Fifteen (emphasis on the suffix –teen) => How many cats were sold this week? - Fifteen.
