1871 = "eighteen seventy-one"
1999 = "nineteen ninety-nine"
• For the decade 2001 – 2010, you say "two
thousand and —-" when speaking British
English:
2001 = "two thousand and one"
2009 = "two thousand and nine"

• 1/ One quarter
4
• 3/ Three quarters
4
• 1/ One third

• 2/ Two thirds

2
SUM/MULTIPLICATIVE NUMBERS
1x once
2x twice
3x three times
4x four times
5x five times
10x ten times
20x twenty times
• + plus(and)
• - minus(take away)
• X times(multiplied by)
• : divided by
• = equals (is)
• . point
• % percent
• 1 + 6 - 2 x 2 ÷ 2.5=4 (One and six take away two
times two divided by two point five is four
• 10% 100=10 Ten percent of one hundred equals
ten.
DECIMALS
• When pronouncing decimals we use the word
"point" to represent the dot. The numbers
following the dot are pronounced separately.
For example:
• 1.5% = "one point five percent"
0.3% = "nought / zero point three percent"
• 1.36 = one point three six
SQUARED/CUBED/TO THE POWER OF
• Square numbers are written 2² = we say "Two
squared" = 2 x 2 = Two squared equals four.
• Cubed numbers are written 2³ = We say "Two
cubed" = 2 x 2 x 2 = Two cubed equals eight
• You can also say "to the power of" - "Two to the
power of two equals four." and "Two to the power
of three equals eight."
• You can then have "to the power of" any number.
• Two to the power of twelve = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 4096.
• It's much easier to write 2¹² = 4096.
0 When we use it For example:-
0 = oh after a decimal point 9.02 = "Nine point oh two."
in bus or room numbers Room 101 = "Room one oh one."
Bus 602 = "Bus six oh two."
in phone numbers 9130472 = "Nine one three oh four
seven two."
in years 1906 = "Nineteen oh six."
0 = nought before a decimal point 0.06 = "Nought point oh six."
0 = zero in temperature 10°C = "10 degrees below zero."
US English for the 0 = "Zero“
number
0 = nil in football Chelsea 2 Manchester United 0 =
"Chelsea two Manchester United nil."
0 = love in tennis 20 - 0 = "Twenty love."
TELLING TIMES
In English, times only uses 12 hours and
differentiated by the use of AM and PM
• AM: ante meridian (12.00morning to 12
afternoon)
• PM: post meridian (12.01afternoon to 11.59
night)

• Can you tell me the time?
• What is the time?
• 30 menit: a half
• 15 menit: a quarter
• Lewat: past
• Kurang: to
• Menit: minute
• Minutes always come first then followed by the
hour
• 01.30: it is a half past one/it is a half to two
• 10.15: it is a quarter past ten
• 07.45: it is a quarter to eight
• 11.10: it is ten minutes past eleven
• 04.20: it is twenty minutes past four
• 05.55: it is five minutes to six
• 02.50: it is ten minutes to three
