MEETING PEOPLE, UNIT TWO


  • TALKING ABOUT NUMBERS!!! ORDINAL AND CARDINAL, REMEMBER THE ORDINAL NUMBERS EXPRESS ORDER, AND THE CARDINAL NUMBERS ARE THE MOST COMMONLY USED...

Table of Ordinal Numbers

Ordinal Numbers from 1 through 1,000,000

***Form the Spelling of Ordinal Numbers: Just add th to the cardinal number

  • four - fourth
  • eleven - eleventh
Exceptions:
  • one - first
  • two - second
  • three - third
  • five - fifth
  • eight - eighth
  • nine - ninth
  • twelve - twelfth
In compound ordinal numbers, note that only the last figure is written as an ordinal number:
  • 421st = four hundred and twenty-first
  • 5,111th = five thousand, one hundred and eleventh

Figures

When expressed as figures, the last two letters of the written word are added to the ordinal number:
  • first = 1st
  • second = 2nd
  • third = 3rd
  • fourth = 4th
  • twenty-sixth = 26th
  • hundred and first = 101st

Titles

In names for kings and queens, ordinal numbers are written in Roman numbers. In spoken English, the definite article is used before the ordinal number:
  • Charles II - Charles the Second
  • Edward VI - Edward the Sixth
  • Henry VIII - Henry the Eighth

Table of Cardinal Numbers

Cardinal numbers from 1 through 1,000,000

Separation between hundreds and tens

Hundreds and tens are usually separated by 'and' (in American English 'and' is not necessary).
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 - 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'.
1,000 - a thousand / one thousand
201,000 - two hundred and one thousand

Use commas as a separator.
57,458,302

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 atrillion.
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

HOW MANY KIND OF OPTIONS ARE MENTIONED FOR THE EGGS?  ________________________________________________________________________________

ORDER IN ADJECTIVES

1
2


Cuando se trata de adjetivar uno o varios sustantivos, hay cierto orden a seguir como se muestra en la imagen numero 2.
Es importante reconocer que en Inglès siempre se adjetiva primero y se sustantiva posteriormente, de ahi que se piense que el Inglès està escrito o diseñado a revès.
por ejemplo:

  • a round table
  • two leather jackets
  • a bunch of marvelous gifts
  • an incledible outfit
Los ejemplos anteriores denotan en la palabra subrayada , el adjetivo que està calificando al sustantivo ( palabra en negrita).

Muy sencillo cuando solo hay un adjetivo que califique al ò los sustantivos, en el caso de adjetivar con mas elementos, se procede al seguimiento marcado en la imagen 2.

  • * tamaño(1) + edad(2) + color(3) + nacionalidad o procedencia(4) + material(5) + 📦

*No olvidemos aplicar las reglas bàsicas para singular (uso de A/AN) o para plural (correcta pluralizaciòn del sustantivo o adjetivos de cantidad)

1.- TAMAÑO: big, small, short, tiny.
2.- EDAD: new, old, antique, renewed.
3.- COLOR: black, gray, yellow, beige.
4.- NACIONALIDAD O PROCEDENCIA: american, chinese, taiwanese, vitnamese.
5.- MATERIAL: leather, fur, plastic, paper.

Entonces nos arroja un resultado con uso de mas de un adjetivo de la siguiente manera:

  • Some small antique black egipcian wooded beetles are in the National Museum of Natural History
