18 Capítulo 2: Sección 6: Número de teléfonos y precios
Section Goal
In this section, students will learn the numbers in Spanish up to 100.
You have already seen numbers one to ten:
- 1 – uno
- 2 – dos
- 3 – tres
- 4 – cuatro
- 5 – cinco
- 6 – seis
- 7 – siete
- 8 – ocho
- 9 – nueve
- 10 – diez
Eleven through fifteen are tricky—spend extra time on them.
- 11 – once
- 12 – doce
- 13 – trece
- 14 – catorce
- 15 – quince
With sixteen, we start to see the pattern of adding “ten and six,” “ten and seven,” etc.
- 16 – dieciséis
- 17 – diecisiete
- 18 – dieciocho
- 19 – diecinueve
For the twenties, the -e in veinte changes to an -i when connecting a 1–9 number. This mimics the “and” sound: “y.”
- 20 – veinte
- 21 – veintiuno
- When a masculine noun immediately follows “uno,” the -o drops and the -u takes an accent
- Tengo veintiún años
- When a masculine noun immediately follows “uno,” the -o drops and the -u takes an accent
- 22 – veintidós
- 23 – veintitrés
- 24 – veinticuatro
- 25 – veinticinco
- 26 – veintiséis
- 27 – veintisiete
- 28 – veintiocho
- 29 – veintinueve
Once we get to treinta, things get much easier: thirty and one, thirty and two…thirty and six…etc.
- 30 – treinta
- 31 – treinta y uno
- 32 – treinta y dos
- 33 – treinta y tres
- 34 – treinta y cuatro
- 35 – treinta y cinco
- 36 – treinta y seis
- 37 – treinta y siete
- 38 – treinta y ocho
- 39 – treinta y nueve
That pattern seen in the thirties continues for the numbers in the forties, fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties, and nineties:
- 40 – cuarenta
- 50 – cincuenta
- 60 – sesenta
- 70 – setenta
- 80 – ochenta
- 90 – noventa
For one hundred:
- 100 – cien
- This is for 100 “on the dot” only. We will see larger numbers later. For numbers after 100, “hundred” is ciento.
Note that all numbers ending with -uno will change to -una when used with a feminine noun and to -un when used with a masculine noun
