When to use capital letters:
1. Starting a sentence

4. Acronyms
5. Contractions
Ex. This is a pen.
Ex. Welcome to the Party
Ex. Microsoft, Chulalongkorn

Cardinal Numbers
Cardinal numbers are normally used when you:
1. Count things: I have two brothers. There are thirty-one
days in January.
2. Give your age: I am thirty-three years old. My sister is
twenty-seven years old.
3. Give your telephone number: Our phone number is
two-six-three, three-eight-four-seven. (481-2240)
4. Give years: She was born in nineteen seventy-five (1975).
America was discovered in fourteen ninety-two
Notice how we divide the year into two parts. This is the
form for year up to 1999. For the year 2000 and on, we say
two thousand (2000), two thousand and one (2001), two
thousand and two (2002) etc.

dialog with your information and practice.

What’s yours?

Ordinal NumbersYou can normally create Ordinal numbers by adding -TH to the end of a Cardinal Number.
Ordinal numbers are normally used when you:
1. Give a date: My birthday is on the 27th of January. (Twenty-seventh of January)
2. Put things in a sequence or order: Liverpool came second in the football league last year.
3. Give the floor of a building: His office is on the tenth floor.
4. Have birthdays: He had a huge party for his twenty-first birthday.
5. Refer to centuries: Shakespeare was born in the 16th century.
For the name of a king or queen in written English, Roman numerals are used = Henry VIIIbut in Spoken English you would say Henry the Eighth.

Writing dates in EnglishAmerican English
◦ In written American English, the
month of the date comes before the
day and year.
◦ For example, Independence Day in
the USA is on July 4th each year.
◦ In the year 2000 the date was
4/7/2000 in British English. In
American English this is written
7/4/2000.
British English
◦ Write the date of the month first, then
the month (starting with a capital letter)
and then the year.
◦ For example: 20 January 2015
◦ Write the date in numbers only
◦ 20 January 2015
◦ 20/1/2015
◦ 20.1.2015
Fractions and DecimalsWe use ordinal numbers (at the end position) to talk about
fractions.
◦ 1/2 - a half
◦ 1/3 - a third
◦ 2/3 - two thirds
◦ 1/4 - a quarter (a fourth)
◦ 3/4 - three quarters (three fourths)
◦ 1/5 - a fifth
◦ 2/5 - two fifths
◦ 1/6 - a sixth
◦ 5/6 - five sixths
◦ 1/7 - a seventh
◦ 1/8 - an eighth
◦ 1/10 - a tenth
◦ 7/10 - seven tenths
o 1/20 - a twentieth
o 47/100 - forty-seven hundredths
o 1/100 - a hundredth
o 1/1,000 - a thousandth
Notice that for 1/4, you can say a quarter OR a fourth.
IF we have a whole number with a fraction, we use the word
AND between the two parts.
e.g. 2 3/5 = two and a three-fifths
For parts of whole numbers, we use a decimal point (and
NOT a comma).
e.g. 2 1/2 (two and a half) = 2.5 (two point five)
If there is more than one number after the decimal point, we
say each number individually.
e.g. 3,456.789 = three thousand, four hundred and fifty-six
point seven eight nine.
The exception to this rule is when we are talking about dollars
and cents (or pound and pence)
e.g. $21.95 = twenty-one dollars, ninety-five (cents). Saying the
word cents at the end is optional.
