When you start learning French numbers, once you know the numbers from one to sixteen you only have to learn a few more to be able to count to one hundred. Then it is a simple matter of being able to count to infinity. The numbers from zero to sixteen in French are: -0 ?zero -1 ?un -2 ?deux -3 ?trios -4 ?quatre -5 ?cinq -6 ?six -7 ?sept -8 ?huit -9 ?neuf -10 ?dix -11 ?onze -12 ?douze -13 ?treize -14 ?quatorze -15 ?quinze -16 ?seize To make the majority of the rest of the numbers in French you use the words for each separate part of the number. 17 is dix-sept, which means ten and seven, 18 is dix-huit and 19 is dix-neuf. From then on you only have to know the names of the tens ?20, 30, 40 and so on. -20 ?vingt -30 ?trente -40 ?quarante -50 – cinquante -60 get your scholarships for high school students ?soixante -70 ?soixante ?dix -80 ?quatre-vingt -90 ?quatre-vingt-dix -100 ?cent For each of the sets of numbers all you have to do is add on the additional number you want. For 21, 31, 40 and so on, you do have to insert between the numbers. This word which means 21, actually means 20 and 1.There is a difference in the way you form the numbers in the 70 and the 90. These numbers continue on into using the teens. The numbers for the 70 are: 70 soixante-dix 71 soixante-onze 72 soixante-douze 73 soixante -treize 74 soixante -quatorze 75 soixante -quinze 76 soixante-seize 77 soixane -dix – sept 78 soixante -dix -huit 79 soixante -dix -neuf The same thing applies when you want to count from 90 onwards. After you reach 100, you simply use in front of the number.
