Number Words

Number words are words that represent numerical quantities. In English, we use number words to express numbers in words rather than using numerals (digits). For example, the number word for the numeral "1" is "one," and for "10" it is "ten."

Examples of Number Words

Here are some examples of number words:

• 1 - one
• 5 - five
• 10 - ten
• 20 - twenty
• 100 - one hundred

Usage of Number Words

Number words are commonly used in reading and writing numbers in text, especially in formal writing or when emphasizing the words rather than the numerical values. They are also important for helping children develop number sense and understanding the relationships between numbers.

Practice

Now that you understand number words, you can practice writing numbers in word form and reading number words to reinforce your understanding.
