Números 15-29

15 quince 16 dieciséis (or diez y seis)

17 diecisiete (diez y siete) 18 dieciocho (diez y ocho)

19 diecinueve (diez y nueve) 20 veinte

21 veintiuno (or veinte y uno) 22 veintidós (veinte y dos)

23 veintitrés (veinte y tres) 24 veinticuatro (veinte y cuatro)

25 veinticinco (veinte y cinco) 26 veintiséis (veinte y seis)

27 veintisiete (veinte y siete) 28 veintiocho (veinte y ocho)

29 veintinueve (veinte y nueve) 30 treinta

As you can see above there are two ways of writing numbers 16-19 and 21-29 however most text books don't teach both forms.

STEP 2: Numbers 30-100

The next step is to learn to count by 10s until you get to 100.

treinta -30

cuarenta-40

cincuenta-50

sesenta-60

setenta-70

ochenta-80

noventa-90

They are form by the tens followed by the conjunction "y" and the number in Spanish

For example:

41 = Cuarenta (the tens) y (conjunction) uno (the unit)

41=cuarenta y uno

42=cuarenta y dos

43=cuarenta y tres

44=cuarenta y cuatro

45=cuarenta y cinco

46=cuarenta y seis

• This pattern will continue until 100

STEP: Practice numbers 1-100

They are also used when the numbers follow a noun, even if the noun is feminine .

Example:

La lección uno

• un before a singular masculine noun and una before a singular feminine noun

• Cien when exactly 100.
