How to write numbers in English

This is the list between numbers zero to twenty.

0 zero 10 ten
1 one 11 eleven
2 two 12 twelve

3 three 13 thirteen

4 four 14 fourteen

5 five 15 fifteen 

6 six 16 sixteen

7 seven 17 seventeen

8 eight 18 eighteen 

9 nine 19 nineteen
20twenty






      

If a number is in the range 21 to 99, and the second digit is not zero, one should write the number as two words separated by a hyphen.


21 twenty-one
25 twenty-five
32 thirty-two
58 fifty-eight
64 sixty-four
79 seventy-nine
83 eighty-three
99 ninety-nine

In English, the hundreds are perfectly regular, except that the word hundred remains in its singular form regardless of the number preceding it (nevertheless, one may on the other hand say "hundreds of people flew in", or the like)


100 one hundred
200 two hundred

900 nine hundred

So too are the thousands, with the number of thousands followed by the word "thousand"

In American usage, four-digit numbers with non-zero hundreds are often named using multiples of "hundred" and combined with tens and ones: "One thousand one", "Eleven hundred three", "Twelve hundred twenty-five", "Four thousand forty-two", or "Ninety-nine hundred ninety-nine." In British usage, this style is common for multiples of 100 between 1,000 and 2,000 (e.g. 1,500 as "fifteen hundred") but not for higher numbers.

Intermediate numbers are read differently depending on their use.
