Cardinal Spanish numbers
You use cardinal numbers many times every day. As a matter of fact, you probably use them
at least once an hour in the course of normal conversation or in writing.The Spanish cardinal
numbers are as follows

English speakers generally write the number 1 in one short, downward stroke. In the
Spanish-speaking world, however, the number 1 has a little hook on top, which makes
it look like a 7. So, in order to distinguish a 1 from a 7, you put a line through the 7,
which makes it look like this: 7.

You need to remember the following rules when using cardinal numbers in Spanish

Uno (one), used only when counting, becomes un before a masculine noun and

una before a feminine noun, whether the noun is singular or plural:

uno, dos, tres (one, two, three)

un niño y una niña (a boy and a girl)

sesenta y un dólares (61 dollars)

veintiuna (veinte y una) personas (21 people)
You use the conjunction y (and) only for numbers between 16 and 99. You don’tuse it directly after hundreds:
ochenta y ocho (88)
doscientos treinta y siete (237)
You generally write the numbers 16–19 and 21–29 as one word. The numbers 16
22, 23, and 26 have accents on the last syllable
16: dieciséis
22: veintidós
23: veintitrés
26: veintiséis
When used before a masculine noun, veintiún (21) has an accent on the lastsyllable:
veintiún días (21 days)
veintiuna semanas (21 weeks)
Ciento (100) becomes cien before nouns of either gender and before the numbersmil and millones. Before all other numbers, you use ciento. Un (one),
which you don’t use before cien(to) or mil, comes before millón. When a noun follows millón, you put the preposition de between millón and the noun. Millón drops its accent in the plural (millones):
cien sombreros (100 hats)
cien blusas (100 blouses)
cien mil millas (100,000 miles)
cien millones de dólares (100 million dollars)
ciento noventa acres (190 acres)
mil posibilidades (1,000 possibilities)
un millón de razones (1,000,000 reasons)
In compounds of ciento (doscientos, trescientos), there must be agreement with a feminine noun:
cuatrocientos pesos (400 pesos)
seisientas pesetas (600 pesetas)
When it comes to numerals and decimals, Spanish uses commas where English uses periods, and vice versa:
English سهم3

Spanish
6,000 6.000
0.75 0,75
$14.99 $14,99
In most instances, people simply write numerals when they need to express numbers.
However, when you write checks, the transactions won’t take place unless you write out the amounts of the checks in words. For this exercise, fill in the incomplete checks with the written Spanish numbers.
