The cardinals
Among the cardinals there are simple, derived and compound words.
The cardinals from one to twelve, hundred, thousand, million are simple; those from thirteen to nineteen are derived from the corresponding simple ones by means of the suffix teen; the cardinals denoting tens are derived from the corresponding simple ones by means of the suffix ty.
The cardinals from twenty-one to twenty-nine, from thirty-one to thirty-nine, etc. and those over hundred are compounds. In cardinals consisting of tens and units the two words are hyphenated.
In cardinals including hundreds and thousands the word denoting units and tens are joined to those denoting hundreds, thousands by means of the conjunction and:
103 one hundred and three;
225 two hundred and twenty-five;
3038 three thousand and thirty-eight;
9651 nine thousand six hundred and fifty-one.
The words for common fractions are also composite. They are formed from cardinals denoting the numerator and ordinals denoting the denominator. If the numerator is a numeral higher than one, the ordinal in the denominator takes the plural form. The numerator and the denominator may be joined by means of the hyphen or without it:
1/3 one-third (one third);
2/7 two-sevenths (two sevenths).
In mixed numbers the numerals denoting fractions are joined to the numerals denoting whole numbers by means of the conjunction and:
3 1/5 three and one-fifth;
20 3/8 twenty and three-eighths.
In decimal fractions the numerals denoting fractions are joined to those denoting whole numbers by means of the words point or decimal:
0.5 zero point (decimal) five;
2.3 two point (decimal) three;
0.005 zero point (decimal) zero zero five.
The ordinals
Among the ordinals there are also simple, derivative and compound words.
The simple ordinals are first, second and third.
The derivative ordinals are derived from the simple and derivative cardinals by means of the suffix th: Four fourth; ten tenth; twenty twentieth.
Before the suffix th the final y is replaced by ie: Thirty thirtieth.
The compound ordinals are formed from composite cardinals. In this case only the last component of the compound numeral has the form of the ordinal:
twenty-first; forty-second; one hundred and first.
The numerals ten, hundred, thousand do not have plural forms:
four thousand people.
But the corresponding homonymous nouns ten (), hundred (), thousand () do:
to count in tens; hundreds of people; thousands of birds.
Nouns premodified by ordinals are used with the definite article:
the third month, the first men on the moon.
When used with the indefinite article, they lose their numerical meaning and acquire that of a pronoun (another, one more):
