French NUMBERS

Numbers are composed of a sequence of digits in French, ranging from two elements to infinity, they are structured in a very simple way. Zoom on the construction of tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, billions...

THE TENS

- dix : 10

- vingt : 20

- Trente : 30

- quarante : 40

- cinquante : 50

- Soixante : 60

- Septante : 70

- Huitante : 80

- Nonante : 90

To compose the different tens, we add the number in French at the end. This gives for example:

- Vingt et un : 21

- Quarante-six : 46

- Huitante-deux : 82

Two particular cases should be noted:

- Onze : 11

- Douze : 12

THE HUNDREDS

To form the hundreds in French, simply place the number you want before the word "cent" which means "hundred".

- Cent : 100

- Trois cents : 300

- Deux cent quarante-deux : 242

- Cinc cent dix : 510

THE THOUSANDS

You have to do the same thing as for the hundreds, but with the term "Thousand".

- Mille : 1000

- Deux mille : 2000

- Dix mille : 10,000

THE MILLIONS / BILLIONS

- Un million : 1 000 000
