Before the year“2000”:

For years up until 2000, separate the


four numbers into two pairs of two:
1965 = "nineteen sixty-five“

1999 = "nineteen ninety-nine"
1501 Fifteen “oh” one or ,fifteen one,

For the decade 2001 – 2010
Say "two thousand and —-" when speaking British English

2001 = "two thousand and one"


2009 = "two thousand and nine"

However, from 2010 onwards you have a choice.


For example, 2012 can be either "two thousand and twelve" or "twenty
twelve".

1/2 One-half or a half

1/3 One-third or a third

1/4 One-fourth or one quarter

1/5 One-fifth

2/3 Two thirds


Notice how we add an “s” at the
end

2/4 Two fourths


Here is an example of mixed fractions. If the numerator is more than one, the denominator is plural,
adding s as a suffix.
Basically, there are three ways to pronounce a fraction. Let's take 2/3 as
an example. We say it as: two-thirds, two over three, and two divided by
three. "Over" is used in a more casual manner or for larger and complex
numbers.
Extra Tips
Saying 0
Depending on the context, we can pronounce zero in different ways:
2-0 (football) = "Two nil"
30 – 0 (tennis) = "Thirty love"
604 7721 (phone number) = "six oh four…"
0.4 (a number) = "nought point four" or "zero point four"
0C (temperature) = "zero celsius degrees"
Talking about calculations
+ (plus)
= (equals / makes)
2 + 1 = 3 ("two plus one equals / makes three")
– (minus / take away)
5 – 3 = 2 ("five minus three equals two" / "five take away three equals two")
x (multiplied by / times)
2 x 3 = 6 ("two multiplied by three equals six" / "two times three equals six")
/ (divided by)
6 / 3 = 2 ("six divided by three equals two")
