Nezaobilazna oblast za one koje žele da nauče engleski su svakako brojevi(numbers). Ovdje ćemo obraditi samo glavne (cardinal) brojeve.
Brojevi od nula do deset su kratki i lako se pamte
- 0 - zero /ˈzɪərəʊ/
- 1 - one /wʌn/
- 2 - two /tuː/
- 3 - three /θriː/
- 4 - four /fɔː(r)/
- 5 - five /faɪv/
- 6 - six /sɪks/
- 7 - seven /ˈsev(ə)n/
- 8 - eight /eɪt/
- 9 - nine /naɪn/
- 10 - ten /ten/
Primjetit ćete da se brojevi od 13 do 19 završavaju isto, i to dodavanjem na brojeve prve desetice nastavak, tj. sufiks “teen”. Kod brojeva 13 i 15 postoji malo odstupanja.
- 11 - eleven
- 12 - twelve
- 13 - thirteen
- 14 - fourteen
- 15 - fifteen
- 16 - sixteen
- 17 - seventeen
- 18 - eighteen
- 19 - nineteen
Ostali dvocifreni brojevi se pišu tako što se između desetice i jedinice stavi crtica
- 26 - twenty-six
- 31 - thirty-one
- 48 - forty-eight
- 52 - fifty-two
- 67 - sixty-seven
- 73 - seventy-three
- 89 - eighty-nine
- 94 - ninety-four
Primjeri brojeva u rečenicama
- Nikola has five balls.
- Nikola ima pet lopti.
- There are nineteen pupils in my class.
- U mom razredu ima devetnaest učenika.
- My grandmother is eighty-five years old.
- Moja baka ima osamdeset godina.
- What is your lucky number?
- Koji je tvoj srećan broj?
- My lucky number is nine.
- Moj srećni broj je devet.
- What is your phone number?
- Koji je tvoj broj telefona?
- My phone number is: oh six five, three one eight, four seven oh
- Moj broj telefona je: 065 - 318 - 470
Brojevi veći od stotinu
- 100 - a /one hundred
- 200 - two hundred
- 1 000 - a /one thousand
- 2 000 - two thousand
- 1 000 000 - a /one million
- 1 000 000 000 - a /one billion
U britanskom engleskom poslije stotinu slijedi “and”, za razliku od američkog gdje izostaje ova riječ.
- 105 - one hundred and five ( br.eng.) / one hundred five (am.eng.)
- 436 - four hundred and thirty-six / four hundred thirty-six
- 873 - eight hundred seventy-three
- 119 - one hundred nineteen
Kada govorimo o velikim ( large ) brojevima, vodimo se sledećim redoslijedom: milijarde, milioni, hiljade, stotine, desetice i na kraju jedinice.
- 8 290 - eight thousand two hundred ninety
- 15 560 – fifteen thousand five hundred sixty
- 786 450 – seven hundred six thousand four hundred fifty
- 342 713 - three hundred forty-two thousand seven hundred thirteen
- 342 713 - three hundred forty-two thousand seven hundred thirteen
- 2 450 000 – two million four hundred fifty thousand
- 27 805 234 - twenty-seven million eight hundred five thousands two hundred thirty-four
- 934 700 000 – nine hundred thirty-four million seven hundred thousand
- 589 432 420 - five hundred eighty-nine million four hundred thirty-two thousand four hundred twenty
- 43 870 550 000 - forty-three billion eight hundred seventy million five hundred fifty thousand
- 621 493 570 812 - six hundred twenty-one billion four hundred ninety-three million five hundred fifty thousand eight hundred twelve
Kod pisanja i čitanja godina važe druga pravila. Prve godine novog vijeka se čitaju na sledeći način:
- 1004 - one thousand four
- 1100 - eleven hundred
- 2000 - two thousand
Za ostale godine važi pravilo da se godine čitaju kao dva broja
- 1759 - seventeen fifty-nine
- 1823 - eighteen twenty-three
- 1564 -fifteen sixty-four
- 1999 - nineteen ninety-nine
