    American numbers - Những con số ở Mỹ

    Written by Administrator on .


    Remember that in English, we divide prices at the decimal point.

    For example:

    $4.59

    four dollars (and) fifty-nine cents

    four / fifty nine

    (long way)

    (short way)

    (Time is also divided in a similar way: 12:47 is said "twelve / forty-seven")

    Americans often say large numbers in "phrases" of two digits.

    For example:

    267

    4381

    two hundred sixty-seven
    two / sixty seven
    four thousand three hundred eighty-one
    forty-three / eighty-one

    (long way)
    (short way)

    Some people also use two-digit phrasing with telephone numbers:


    565-8347

    five-six-five // eighty-three / forty-seven

    Practice the following prices (both long and short ways) with a partner:

    That will be____(price)______
    That comes to ____(price)____

    $59.65
    $27.95
    $14.40

    $1.79*
    $6.75
    $77.17

    $29.00**
    $82.03
    $70.50

    $425.78
    $781.34
    $211.54

    $231.49
    $690.42
    $380.18

    $3,657.88
    $9,405.31
    $1,550.15

    *Also: a dollar seventy-nine
