    * 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.

    combien d’enfants y a-t-il?
    = how many children are there?

    Noter que l’anglais n’a pas d’équivalent du pronom français en dans:

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

    les milliers de livres que j’ai lus

    = 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
    une centaine
    = about a hundred
    presque dix
    = almost ten ou nearly ten

    Louis XIV
    = Louis the Fourteenth
    Les opérations
    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
    0.75 nought point seven five ou point seven five

  • 23 L'âge

    Quel âge avez-vous?
    L’anglais n’emploie pas le verbe to have (avoir) pour exprimer l’âge, mais le verbe to be (être).
    quel âge a-t-il?
    = how old is he? ou what age is he?
    Les deux mots years old peuvent être omis pour les personnes, mais pas pour les choses.

    = he is eighty ou he is eighty years old
    la maison a cent ans
    = the house is a hundred years old
