    * En anglais, lorsqu’on énonce les chiffres un à un, on prononce en général le zéro oh: mon numéro de poste est le 403 = my extension number is 403 ( dire four oh three).
    Pour la température, on utilise zero: il fait zéro = it’s zero.
    Pour les scores dans les jeux et les sports, on utilise en général nil (GB) zero (US), sauf au tennis, où zéro se dit love.
    † Noter que forty s’écrit sans u, alors que fourteen et fourth s’écrivent comme four.
    ‡ Les formes avec one s’utilisent lorsqu’on veut insister sur la précision du chiffre. Dans les autres cas, on utilise plutôt a.
    § Noter que and s’utilise en anglais britannique entre hundred ou thousand et le chiffre des dizaines ou des unités (mais pas entre thousand et le chiffre des centaines). Il ne s’utilise pas en anglais américain.
    Noter que million est invariable en anglais dans ce cas.
    || Attention: un billion américain vaut un milliard (1000 millions), alors qu’un billion britannique vaut 1000 milliards. Le billion américain est de plus en plus utilisé en Grande-Bretagne.

    Combien?
    combien d’enfants y a-t-il?
    = how many children are there?
    il y a vingt-trois enfants
    = there are twenty-three children
    Noter que l’anglais n’a pas d’équivalent du pronom français en dans:
    combien est-ce qu’il y en a?
    = how many are there?
    il y en a vingt-trois
    = there are twenty-three

    ils sont 8

    1000000 d’habitants
    = 1,000,000 inhabitants ( dire a million inhabitants ou one million inhabitants)
    2000000 d’habitants
    = two million inhabitants

    = thousands and thousands
    Pour les numéraux français en -aine (dizaine, douzaine, quinzaine, vingtaine, trentaine, quarantaine, cinquantaine, soixantaine et centaine) lorsqu’ils désignent une somme approximative, l’anglais utilise le chiffre avec la préposition about ou around.
    une dizaine de questions

    une quinzaine de personnes
    = about fifteen people
    une vingtaine
    = about twenty

    environ dix
    = about ten

    Noter que l’anglais utilise un point (the decimal point) là où le français a une virgule. Noter également qu’en anglais britannique zéro se dit nought, et en américain zero.
    dire
    0.25 nought point two five ou point two five
    0.05 nought point nought five ou point oh five

    1000000000000 un billion‡‡
    * In English 0 may be called nought, zero or even nothing ; French is always zéro ; a nought = un zéro.
    † Note that one is une in French when it agrees with a feminine noun, so un crayon but une table, une des tables, vingt et une tables, combien de tables? - il y en a une seule etc.
    ‡ Also huitante in Switzerland. Note that when 80 is used as a page number it has no s, e.g. page eighty = page quatre-vingt.
    § Note that vingt has no s when it is in the middle of a number. The only exception to this rule is when quatre-vingts is followed by millions, milliards or billions, e.g. quatre-vingts millions, quatre-vingts billions etc.
    Note that cent does not take an s when it is in the middle of a number. The only exception to this rule is when it is followed by millions, milliards or billions, e.g. trois cents millions, six cents billions etc. It has a normal plural when it modifies other nouns, e.g. 200 inhabitants = deux cents habitants.
    || Note that figures in French are set out differently ; where English would have a comma, French has simply a space. It is also possible in French to use a full stop (period) here, e.g. 1.000. French, like English, writes dates without any separation between thousands and hundreds, e.g. in 1995 = en 1995.
    ** When such a figure refers to a date, the spelling mil is preferred to mille, i.e. en 1200 = en mil deux cents. Note however the exceptions: when the year is a round number of thousands, the spelling is always mille, so en l’an mille, en l’an deux mille etc.
    †† Mille is invariable ; it never takes an s.
    ‡‡ Note that the French words million, milliard and billion are nouns, and when written out in full they take de before another noun, e.g. a million inhabitants is un million d’habitants, a billion francs is un billion de francs. However, when written in figures, 1,000,000 inhabitants is 1000000 habitants, but is still spoken as un million d’habitants. When million etc. is part of a complex number, de is not used before the nouns, e.g. 6,000,210 people = six millions deux cent dix personnes.
    Use of en
    Note the use of en in the following examples:
    there are six
    = il y en a six
    I’ve got a hundred
    = j’en ai cent
    En must be used when the thing you are talking about is not expressed (the French says literally there of them are six, I of them have a hundred etc.). However, en is not needed when the object is specified:
    there are six apples
    = il y a six pommes
    Approximate numbers
    When you want to say about…, remember the French ending -aine:
    about ten
    = une dizaine
    about ten books
    = une dizaine de livres
    about fifteen
    = une quinzaine
    about fifteen people
    = une quinzaine de personnes
    about twenty
    = une vingtaine
    about twenty hours
    = une vingtaine d’heures

    Like English, French makes nouns by adding the definite article:
    the first
    = le premier (or la première, or les premiers mpl or les premières fpl)
    the second
    = le second (or la seconde etc.)
    the first three
    = les trois premiers or les trois premières
    Note the French word order in:
    the third richest country in the world
    = le troisième pays le plus riche du monde
    * Note that half, when not a fraction, is translated by the noun moitié or the adjective demi ; see the dictionary entry.
    † Note the use of les and d’entre when these fractions are used about a group of people or things: two-thirds of them = les deux tiers d’entre eux.
    ‡ This is the masculine form ; the feminine is 1re and the plural 1ers (m) or 1res (f).
    § All the ordinal numbers in French behave like ordinary adjectives and take normal plural endings where appropriate.
    Also huitantième in Switzerland.
