Hello students, my name is Alexandra.

Let's learn about English numbers.

In this video I will teach numbers from 100 to 10,000

and how to pronounce them correctly.

I promise by the end of this video you will be able to say these numbers without difficulty.

After you watch this lesson, be sure to check the video description for homework, worksheet PDFs, and tests.

Let's get started.

I am going to teach how to say the English numbers from 100 to 1000.

First, let's go up by 100.

Please repeat after me.

Now, let's focus on the pattern on how to express numbers from 100 to 1,000.

I'm not going to say every number,

but I will teach you the pattern

so you will know how to say any number between 100 and 10,000.

It is important that you already know the English numbers from 1 to 99.

If you know the numbers from 1 to 99, then you just add 100 before the number.

We know the number one.

So, this number is one hundred and one.

We know the number fifty-seven.

So, this number is two hundred fifty-seven.

We know the number eighty-six.

So, this number is seven hundred eighty-six.

So, what are these numbers?

Three hundred and thirty-three.

Four hundred and sixty-five.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine.

Let's focus a little more on how to express these numbers.

100 and 101.

With numbers like 100, it can be expressed two ways.

You can say, “One hundred.”

Or you can say, “A hundred.”

Both mean exactly the same.

Another example.

With numbers like 101, it can also be expressed two ways.

You can say, “One hundred and one,” using ‘and’.

Or you can say, “One hundred one,” not using ‘and’.

Both mean exactly the same.

Another example.

Two thousand and ten.

Two thousand ten.

As I say the numbers from 100 to 10,000,

you will notice that I sometimes express these numbers using ‘and’,

and sometimes I don't use ‘and’ in the number.

Again, both ways are OK.

Pay attention and listen carefully so you get used to different ways to express English numbers.

Now, as we get into very large numbers,

it is essential to teach you the importance of commas when trying to read a number.

This is a comma.

Commas help us express large English numbers.

Let's look at these numbers.

These do not need a comma.

Now we should start using commas.

In English, there is a rule that for every 3 digits or numbers from the right,

we put a comma.

1-2-3 comma.

This comma tells us that this is a thousand

and we should say, “Thousand.”

“One thousand.”

Look at this number.

Let's add a comma here.

1-2-3 comma.

Let's look at this number.

1-2-3 comma.

One hundred thousand.

Again, understanding where to put the comma

will help you understand and express larger English numbers.

Now for this lesson we will just go up to 10,000.

Please listen carefully and repeat after me these numbers.

Three thousand.

Seven thousand.

Eight thousand.

Now, let's lend the pattern of how to say every number between 1,000 and 10,000.

Again, I will not say every number,

but I will help you to learn the pattern.

Let's start with this number.

First, let's add the comma.

Three from the right.

1-2-3 comma.

So now we know it is two thousand.

And simply one.

Two thousand one.

Next would be 2002, 2003, 2004 and so on.

And this number.

1-2-3 comma.

4,092.

Next would be 4093, 4094, 4095 and so on.

Let's try this number.

1-2-3 comma.

6,932.

Next would be 6933, 6934, 6935 and so on.

1-2-3 comma.

9,998.

Next would be 9,999 and then 10,000. 10,001 and so on.

Let's move on to some extra number practice.

In this practice you will see random numbers from 100 to 10,000 on the screen.

And I want you to try and say the numbers quickly and correctly before I do.

One hundred forty-five.

Five hundred fifty-three.

Three hundred thirteen.

Six hundred twenty-three.

Eight hundred seventy-nine.

One thousand one hundred twenty-eight.

Three thousand one hundred seventy-eight.

One thousand thirty-seven.

Six thousand fifty-eight.

Nine thousand nine hundred fifty-two.

I'm now going to give you a quick listening test on the numbers between 100 and 10,000.

I will say 10 numbers.

I will say each number twice.

Please listen and try to hear the correct number.

567.

567.

4222.

4222.

800.

888.

888.

6,517.

2,430.
