Separation between hundreds and tens

Hundreds and tens are usually separated by ‘and’ (in American English ‘and’ is not necessary).

Normalde İngilizler 100ler basamağından sonraki sayıları ifade etmek için onları “and” ile ayırırlar.

110 – one hundred and ten
1,250 – one thousand, two hundred and fifty
2,001 – two thousand and one

Hundreds

Use 100 always with ‘a’ or ‘one’.

100 ifadesi daima “a” ya da “one” ile beraber kullanılır.

100 – a hundred / one hundred

‘a’ can only stand at the beginning of a number.

100 – a hundred / one hundred
2,100 – two thousand, one hundred

Thousands and Millions

Use 1,000 and 1,000,000 always with ‘a’ or ‘one’.

Daima “a” ya da “one” ifadesini alırlar başlarına.

1,000 – a thousand / one thousand
201,000 – two hundred and one thousand

Use commas as a separator.

The Number 1,000,000,000

In English this number is a billion. This is very tricky for nations where ‘a billion’ has 12 zeros. 1,000,000,000,000 in English, however, is a trillion.

But don’t worry, these numbers are even a bit problematic for native speakers: for a long time the British ‘billion’ had 12 zeros (a number with 9 zeros was called ‘a thousand million’). Now, however, also in British English ‘a billion’ has 9 zeros. But from time to time this number still causes confusion (just like this paragraph, I’m afraid). ;o)

Singular or Plural?

Numbers are usually written in singular.

two hundred Euros
several thousand light years

The plural is only used with dozen, hundred, thousand, million, billion, if they are not modified by another number or expression (e.g. a few / several).

hundreds of Euros
thousands of light years
