Števila = Numbers
Pri številkah pazite na naslednje:
1. Vrstilni in glavni števniki od 21 do 99 se pišejo z vezajem (thirty-one, ninety-two)
2. Angleži tisočice ločujejo z vejicami in imajo decimalne pike (ravno obratno kot Slovenci). Število 154,978.12 (pika je v angleščini “point”) v Sloveniji zapišemo 154.978,12. Števila za piko beremo posamezno. 0.12 preberemo point one two in ne point twelve.
3. Datumi se po novem pišejo brez krajšav “st, nd, rd, th” nad številko: 23 December 2009.
4. Števniki hundred, thousand, million v množini ne dobijo obrazila “-s”, razen v “of” frazah: There were thousands of people at the concert./I have hundreds of stamps.
5. Letnice navadno beremo v dvojicah: 1987 bi prebrali “nineteen eighty-seven”.
6. “Billion” v angleščini je v sloveniščini milijarda.
