When do you need letter increments after numbers?

Technical design of the text

When do you need letter increments after numbers?

When to use extensions?

Accretion (letter case ending) is used in writing ordinal numbers: 10th class "B"; 11th grade student; 1st car from the center; 5th level of difficulty; take 2nd and 3rd places; in the early 90s, route 12 .

Extension not used:

  • In cardinal numbers: dictionary in 4 volumes; work of 2 employees; a series of 12 exercises .

  • When recording calendar numbers: March 22, 2003, April 1, January 10. Not: March 22, 2003, April 1st, January 10th.

  • If the number is indicated by a Roman numeral: II International Olympiad for schoolchildren in the Russian language; IX Congress, XXI century, Louis XIV.

  • In the numbers of volumes, chapters, pages, illustrations, tables, appendices, etc., if the generic word (volume, chapter) precedes the numeral: on p. 196, v. 5, in the table. 11, in app. 1 (but: on the 196th page, in the 5th volume, in the 11th table, in the 1st appendix).

How to apply extensions?

The increment of the case ending in ordinal numbers indicated by Arabic numerals can be one-letter or two-letter.

According to the established tradition, the accretion should be one-letter if the last letter of the numeral is preceded by a vowel sound: 5th day (fifth day), 25th anniversary (twenty-fifth anniversary), in the 32nd edition (in the thirty-second edition), in the 14th row (in the fourteenth row).

Accretion must be two-letter if the last letter is preceded by a consonant: th row (from the fourteenth row).

If two ordinal numbers follow in a row, separated by a comma or joined by a union, the case ending is increased for each of them: 1st, 2nd cars; 80s and 90s .

If more than two ordinal numbers follow in a row, separated by a comma, semicolon or connected by a union, then the case ending is increased only for the last numeral: 1, 2 and 3 cars, 70, 80, 90s .

If two ordinal numbers follow through a dash, then the case ending is increased:

a) only for the second numeral, if the case ending for both numerals is the same: 50–60s, in 80–90s ;

b) for each numeral, if the case endings are different: in the 11th - 20th rows .


How do you write a noun or adjective that starts with a number? Which is correct: 3-dimensional or 3-dimensional?

Correct design: 3D (Preferred) , 3D .

If there is a numeral in the composition of compound nouns and adjectives, then it can be written in verbal form (in words) or in verbal-numeric form (number and hyphen attached to the noun or adjective). When using the verbal-numeric form of notation, letter increments after numerals are not written.

False

True

2 sim, 2 sim,
2 sim 		dual sim, 2 sim
150th Anniversary, 150th Anniversary,
150th Anniversary 		centennial, 150th anniversary

Note . In highly specialized publications, it is allowed to replace the adjective (name of a physical unit) with the corresponding short designation: 5-km distance, 12-ton load.

How to write class names: 1a class or 1st "A" class?

There are no special rules for the design of a letter in a class name. In other cases, letter additions, as a rule, are written in lowercase letters without quotes and are attached without a space and without a hyphen to the previous figure: figure 1a, paragraph 2e, house 3a , etc. Therefore, by analogy, one could write class 1a, class 10g , but in practice this option is not used.

The most common design options with a capital letter enclosed in quotation marks: our 10th "B", entered 1st "A" class , etc. This design is especially appropriate in cases where the letter is not located immediately after the numeral (or when the numeral is absent at all): 10th grade "B"; classes "A" and "B".

When writing a numeral in a word, a similar design is used: first "A" class, tenth "B" . Compare: Here it was possible to wait out some danger, smoke, talk with a girl - in a word, it was not by chance that Melnikov discovered his ninth "B" here. G. Polonsky, We'll live until Monday. Sluzhkin launched the ninth "A" into the office and opened the class magazine . A. Ivanov, The geographer drank his globe away.

Cardinal and Ordinal Numbers in English

Test for determining the level of English

This test for knowledge of English was compiled by the methodologists of the Skysmart online school. They prepared fun and relevant tasks on modern topics to make the test both useful and interesting

Cardinal numbers

Cardinal numbers - answer the question "how much" .

Remove should be no problem. There are no special chips and wisdom in their education - you just need to remember a few features.

Numerals hundred, thousand, million are used in the singular. No need to add the plural ending S.

The ending S is used only if the numerals are used as nouns:

  • thousands of followers
  • hundreds of voters - hundreds of voters
  • dozens of comments

When writing a large number in English, you have to split it with commas, like this:

  • 1.567 one thousand, five hundred and sixty-seven

By the way, in the UK it is customary to split long numbers with the union and:

  • seven hundred and sixty - three

And in American English it is accepted like this:

  • seven hundred sixty - three

Choose which English is closer to you and use one of the options.

Cardinal numbers will probably be needed for you to dictate a phone number. Are people still exchanging numbers in 2020? Let's assume that yes and remember:

  • digits of the phone number are pronounced one at a time
  • if two identical digits are in a row, you can say double and say the digit once
  • 112 - 344 double one two three double four

Another effective way to quickly memorize numbers is to sign up for English lessons for children 8 years old online at Skysmart School.

How many English words do you already know?

Let's define your vocabulary - without complex questions and with the help of smart algorithms.

Features of numerals

Everything could be simple and understandable with English numerals, if not for a few tricky rules that need to be understood and remembered.

Zero

Zero - it's zero, it's also zero, nil, nought and o - many-sided and mysterious, let's figure it out.

Zero is pronounced like zero:

  • in the weather forecast: above zero - above zero, below zero - below zero, reduce to zero - reduce to zero.
  • as a percentage: there is only a 30% chance of rain - the probability of rain is only 30%.
  • in stable expressions: zero visibility - zero visibility, zero chance - zero chances.
  • in phone numbers it is equally acceptable to pronounce both zero and o [əu]
  • in fractions: 0.6 - zero point six.

Zero is pronounced like o [əu]:

  • for years and times: 2007 - twenty o seven.
  • in telephone numbers, bank accounts: 051 600 30 – o five one six double o three
  • in fractions: 0.8 - o point eight.

If we are talking about sports competitions, matches, championships, use Nil:

  • we won four-nil - we won three-nil
  • we drew nil-nil - we drew

British nought/naught means "zero", "nothing". The word is outdated and almost never used, but it won't hurt to remember it. Suddenly, Elon Musk messes up something, and we fly into the past, not into the future.

Years

Cardinal numbers are used to designate years in English.

  • The four-digit year is divided in half and pronounced as two separate numbers: 1996 nineteen ninety - six,

  • Millenniums are pronounced in thousands:

    2020 - two thousand twenty / twenty twenty,

    22000 - two thousand,

    22007 - two thousand and seven,

    21907 - nineteen or seven,

  • If there are two zeros at the end of the year, then we say with hundred, that is, we count hundreds:

    1700 - seventeen hundred, 1900 - nineteen hundred.

Remember:

The year is preceded by the preposition in .

The word year is either completely omitted in the sentence, or stands before the numeral, contrary to any logic of a Russian-speaking person:

  • Game of Thrones premiered in 2011

Also remember these designations, they are often found in books, textbooks and movies:

  • BC - before Christ (before Christ, - BC).
  • AD - Anno Domini (after the birth of Christ, - our era).

Demo lesson in English

Let's determine the level and set a goal, and then we will teach you to speak English fluently.

Fractions

Fractions - ½. The rules of writing are the same as in Russian. Recall that what is above the line is the numerator, and what is below it is the denominator.

Attention now:

  1. The numerator is pronounced like a cardinal number.

  2. Denominator as ordinal number.

  3. The numerator one can be read as an article a :

    • 1/14 - one fourteenth / a fourteenth

    • 1/8 - one eighth / a eighth

    • 1/3 - one third / a third

If the numerator is greater than 1, then the plural ending s is added to the ordinal denominator:

  • 4/5 - four fifths
  • 2/8-two eighths
  • 1/2 - one half / a half
  • 1/4 - one quarter / a quarter / one fourth
  • 2/4 - two quarters

Remember:

When reading fractions, half is half
A quarter, one fourth

Decimals . There are a few things to remember here. In English decimal fractions, a point is put, not a comma, and we do not pronounce fractions (tenths, hundredths, etc.). They are just called numbers. The point is also pronounced point:

  • 2.26 two point twenty six
  • 7.654 - seven point six five four

If there is no integer before the point, then zero is pronounced or nothing is said at all:

  • 0.3 - zero point three / point three
  • 0.65 - zero point six five / point six five
  • 0.02 - zero point zero two / point zero two

You can also say o [əu] instead of zero.

Percentages in English do not require a plural. Percent is always singular:

  • 3.3% - three point three percent
  • 50% - fifty percent
  • 99% - ninety-nine percent

Money

The currency symbol always precedes the amount: ＄500 - $500, €200 - two hundred euros. First, the amount is pronounced, and only then the name of the currency - do not mix it up.

If the amount consists of a decimal fraction, then first we pronounce the whole number, then the currency, and at the end - the decimal part.

  • € 16.55 - sixteen euros fifty five
  • ＄20. 99 - twenty dollars ninety nine

If you know the name of the coin, you can insert it at the end.

Arithmetic

Cardinal numbers are used for counting in English.
to equal - equal to

  • 2+2 = 4 - two plus two is four
  • 10-5 = 5 - ten minus five equals five
  • 30 x 3 = 90 - thirty multiplied by three is ninety
  • 50 : 5 = 10 - fifty divided by five equals ten

The verb to be can be plural when added. And the verb to equal can be replaced by the verb to make.

  • 36 + 6 = 42 - thirty six and six are forty two
  • 8 + 4 = 12 - eight plus four make twelve

Let's practice

You already know how to read numbers in English. To remember all this better, try to practice a little.
