age

• Out of 100

26. Counting 100+
• Overview:
Now being able to say and recognise the
numbers in French up to 100 is good. But at the
same time a bit limited, now it's time to take a
look at all those other numbers between 100 and
Infinity !
Objective:
Understand how to construct numbers from 100
to infinity (..and beyond!)

27. NOMBRES > 100 !
• If you can remember all the numbers up to 100 then numbers
greater than 100 are actually quite straightforward.
• MULTIPLE 20's and 100's:When you have multiple 'vingt' OR
'cent' expressions they are written plural
ie. 80 = quatre-vingts
400 = quatre cents
..BUT..
'cent' only takes an S when it is more than 100 and not
followed by another number.
ie. 210 = deux cent dix! (No 'S')
Mille (1000) though is never plural !
ie. 8000 = huit mille!

28. • 101 cent un
• 111 cent onze
• 222 deux cent vingt-deux
• 333 trois cent trente-trois
• 444 quatre cent quarante-quatre
• 555 cinq cent cinquante-cinq
• 666 six cent soixante-six
• 777 sept cent soixante-dix-sept
• 888 huit cent quatre-vingt-huit
• 999 neuf cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuf
• 1001 mille un
