NUMBERS
◉ Numbers ending in 1 (21, 31, 41 etc), drop the –o before masculine nouns and change –o to –a before feminine nouns
Example:
¿Cuántos chicos hay en la clase? How many boys are in the class?
veintiuno twenty-one Hay veintiún chicos en la clase. There are 21 boys in the class.
Hay veintiuna chicas en la clase. There are 21 girls in the class.
◉ Hundreds change –os /-as for masculine / feminine
Example:
doscientos niños 200 boys
doscientas niñas 200 girls
◉ In dates NEVER TRANSLATE ‘AND’
Example:
2007 dos mil siete (not dos mil y siete) two thousand seven (not two thousand and seven)
◉ Primero and tercero shorten to primer and tercer before masculine singular nouns
Example:
El 1st piso = el primer piso The 1st floor = the first floor
La 1st planta = la primera planta The 1st floor = the first floor
El 3rd piso = el tercer piso The 3rd floor = the third floor
La 3rd planta = la tercera planta The 3rd floor = the third floor
◉ Use regular numbers with dates
Example:
02/03 = el dos de marzo the second of March
◉ Use full numbers with years
Example:
1998 = mil novecientos noventa y ocho nineteen ninety-eight
◉ 100 (ciento) is shortened to cien if it is followed by a noun (masculine or feminine)
Example:
cien libros = 100 books
cien plumas = 100 pens
