Learn Numbers and Counting in English: The Ultimate Method | English for Beginners and Kids

In today’s video, we will learn how to count, write and pronounce numbers. Counting is also a very important skill that you will use in many situations, such as counting objects, money, time, and more. It is also a foundation of arithmetic, which is a branch of mathematics that deals with adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing numbers. --------- 📝 Explanation Exercises: --------- ⭐️ Premium Services and Products: 👩🏻‍💻 Individual Classes: ❤️ Donation: --------- We will use the decimal system, which is based on the number 10. This means that we will group the numbers from 1 to 10. Let’s start with the first ten numbers, from 1 to 10. Remember to repeat after me. They are: From 1 to 10 1 – one 2 – two 3 – three 4 – four 5 – five 6 – six 7 – seven 8 – eight 9 – nine 10 – ten Let’s count from 11 to 20! Great job! Now, let’s move on to the next ten numbers, from 11 to 20. These are a bit tricky, because they have irregular spellings and pronunciations. They are: From 11 to 20 11 – eleven 12 – twelve 13 – thirteen 14 – fourteen 15 – fifteen 16 – sixteen 17 – seventeen 18 – eighteen 19 – nineteen 20 – twenty Well done! Now, you may notice a pattern here. From 13 to 19, the numbers end with “-teen“, which sounds like “ten”. This is because the numbers are formed by adding 10 to the numbers from 3 to 9. For example, 13 is 3 10, so we say “thirteen”. 14 is 4 10, so we say “fourteen”. And so on. Let’s now try from 20 to 99! From 20 to 90, the numbers end with “-ty“, which sounds like “tee”. This is because these numbers are formed by multiplying 10 by the numbers from 2 to 9. For example, 20 is 2 x 10, so we say “twenty”. 30 is 3 x 10, so we say “thirty”. And so on. Let’s practice the numbers from 20 to 90. They are: From 20 to 99 20 – twenty 30 – thirty 40 – forty 50 – fifty 60 – sixty 70 – seventy 80 – eighty 90 – ninety Excellent! Now, let’s form the numbers from 21 to 99: we simply combine the numbers from 20 to 90 to the numbers from 1 to 9. For example, 21 is 20 1, so we say “twenty-one”. 35 is 30 5, so we say “thirty-five”. 76 is 70 6, so we say “seventy-six”. And so on. Let’s practice some of the numbers from 21 to 99. Please repeat after me: From 21 to 99 22 – twenty-two 27 – twenty-seven 43 – forty-three 58 – fifty-eight 64 – sixty-four 75 – seventy-five 89 – eighty-nine 94 – ninety-four What about counting from 100 to 999? Very good! To form the number 100, we use the word “hundred“. 100 is 10 x 10, so we say, “one hundred”. We can also use the word “hundred” to form numbers from 101 to 999, by combining it with the numbers from 1 to 9, using the word “and”. For example, 101 is 100 1, so we say, “one hundred and one”. 150 is 100 50, so we say, “one hundred and fifty”. 237 is 200 30 7, so we say, “two hundred and thirty-seven”. And so on. Let’s practice some examples of the numbers from 100 to 999. Please repeat after me: From 100 to 999 100 – one hundred 135 – one hundred and thirty-five 200 – two hundred 250 – two hundred and fifty 300 – three hundred 350 – three hundred and fifty 400 – four hundred 415 – four hundred and fifteen 500 – five hundred 523 – five hundred and twenty-three 600 – six hundred 650 – six hundred and fifty 700 – seven hundred 715 – seven hundred and fifteen 800 – eight hundred 891- eight hundred and ninety-one 900 – nine hundred 999 – nine hundred and ninety-nine And, finally… from 1000 to 9999! Finally, to form the numbers from 1000 to 9999, we use the word “thousand“. 1000 is formed by taking 10 x 100, so we say, “one thousand”. We can also use the word “thousand” to form numbers from 1001 to 9999, by combining it with the numbers from 1 to 999, using the word “and”. For example, 1001 is 1000 1, so we say, “one thousand and one”. 2345 is 2000 300 40 5, so we say, “two thousand three hundred and forty-five”. And so on. Let’s practice some examples of the numbers from 1000 to 9999. Please repeat after me: From 1000 to 9999 1000 – one thousand 1095 – one thousand and ninety-five 2000 – two thousand 2005 – two thousand and five 3995 – three thousand nine hundred and ninety-five 5000 – five thousand 6915 – six thousand nine hundred and fifteen 7000 – seven thousand 9995 – nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-five
