How French numbers work: 5 patterns
Up to 69 French works like most languages. From 70 it counts in twenties.
- 1
0–16 have their own words
zéroundeuxtroisquatrecinqsixsepthuitneufdixonzedouzetreizequatorzequinzeseize onze, douze, treize, quatorze, quinze, seize are learned by heart like 0–10.
- 2
17–19: dix + unit, with a hyphen
+ →dix-sept dix-sept, dix-huit, dix-neuf: ten-seven, ten-eight, ten-nine.
- 3
21–69: ten + hyphen + unit, but et un
et →vingt et un 21, 31, 41, 51 and 61 take et: vingt et un, trente et un. All the others take a hyphen: vingt-deux, quarante-quatre.
- 4
70–79: 60 + 10 … 19
+ →soixante-dix France has no word for 70: soixante-dix is 60 + 10, soixante et onze 60 + 11, soixante-dix-sept 60 + 17.
- 5
80–99: four twenties
× →quatre-vingts quatre-vingts (80) keeps its s only on its own; quatre-vingt-un (81) has no s and no et. 90–99 add 10–19: quatre-vingt-dix, quatre-vingt-dix-neuf. Belgium and Switzerland say septante (70) and nonante (90).
Big numbers in French: hundreds, thousands, a million
cent and mille take no “un”: 100 = cent, 1,000 = mille. cents keeps its s only at the end (deux cents, but deux cent un), and mille never changes (deux mille). French writes 1 000 with a space and 2,5 with a comma.
French numbers in real sentences
Age uses avoir (“to have”): j'ai trente ans = I am thirty.
More number words: half, a dozen, percent
These 16 words and all 32 numbers from the course are in lessons 7, 20, 21 and 85 of the Flashcardly app.

zéro, un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix, onze, douze, treize, quatorze, quinze, seize, dix-sept, dix-huit, dix-neuf, vingt.
How do you say 70 in French?
soixante-dix, literally 60 + 10. 71 is soixante et onze and 77 soixante-dix-sept. In Belgium and Switzerland 70 is septante.
Why is 80 quatre-vingts in French?
From 70 on, French counts in twenties: quatre-vingts = four twenties. It loses the s when another number follows: quatre-vingt-un (81), quatre-vingt-dix (90).
When do you write et in French numbers?
Only in 21, 31, 41, 51, 61 and 71: vingt et un, soixante et onze. 81 and 91 have none: quatre-vingt-un, quatre-vingt-onze.
How do you say 100 in French?
cent, without “un”. 101 is cent un and 200 deux cents.
