FRENCH NUMBERS – PART 2 / LES NOMBRES FRANÇAIS – PART 2

Welcome on the second part of the “French numbers” lessons! :) In part 1 , we talked about the basic numbers, from 1 to 99. In this lesson, we will talk about: Hundreds and Thousands .  Let’s get started!     *NOTE: If you wonder how to say “0” in French and how to write it, it’s very simple! It’s like English “zero”.  0 = zĂ©ro (z[ey]ro)       Hundreds:   100 = Cent 200 = Deux cent 300 = Trois cent 400 = Quatre cent 500 = Cinq cent 600 = Six cent 700 = Sept cent 800 = Huit cent 900 = Neuf cent     Thousands:   1 000 = Mille 2 000 = Deux mille 3 000 = Trois mille 4 000 = Quatre mille 5 000 = Cinq mille 6 000 = Six mille 7 000 = Sept mille 8 000 = Huit mille 9 000 = Neuf mille   Keep in mind: numbers are invariable. Always written in the singular form , without any “s” at the end, like you can see it sometimes with plural form.  Let’s break down some of the numbers, below: 101 = Cent un 102 = Cent deux 103 = Cent trois 104 = Cent quatre
