  • 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.

  • One hundred.

  • Two hundred.

  • Three hundred.

  • Four hundred.

  • Five hundred.

  • Six hundred.

  • Seven hundred.

  • Eight hundred.

  • Nine hundred.

  • One thousand.

  • 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.

  • For example.

  • 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 move on.

  • 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.

  • One thousand.

  • A thousand.

  • 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.

  • One.

  • Ten.

  • One hundred.

  • These do not need a comma.

  • One thousand.

  • 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.

  • Ten thousand.

  • 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.

  • One thousand.

  • Two thousand.

  • Three thousand.

  • Four thousand.

  • Five thousand.

  • Six thousand.

  • Seven thousand.

  • Eight thousand.

  • Nine thousand.

  • Ten 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.

  • And one more.

  • 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.

  • Here we go.

  • 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.

  • Excellent job.

  • 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.

  • Number one.

  • 567.

  • 567.

  • Number Two.

  • 4222.

  • 4222.

  • Number Three.

  • 800.

  • 800.

  • Number four.

  • 888.

  • 888.

  • Number five.

  • 6,517.

  • 6,517.

  • Number six.

  • 912.

  • Number seven.

  • 1,200.

  • Number eight.

  • 2,430.

  • 2,430.

  • Number nine.

  • 432.

  • 432.

  • Number ten.

  • 8,005.

  • 8,005.

  • That's the end.
