How to spell numbers 1 to 10 in English

The first thing you need to know is to remember well how to write the numbers from 1 to 10 in English:

  1. One
  2. Two
  3. Three
  4. Four
  5. Five
  6. Six
  7. Seven
  8. Eight
  9. Nine
  10. Ten

Writing numbers like 2 and 3 in English are fairly common since we seen them in advertising, etc. all over the word. Once we start going into double digits, it can get a little trickier. However, it is important we learn the numbers 1 to 10 first. They are the basics of our learning and we use them in patterns for all other numbers.

How to spell numbers 11 to 20 in English

The numbers in english from 11 to 20 have a particular name that you need to know and are spelled in a different way. This is how you write the numbers from 11 to 20:

  • 11. Eleven
  • 12. Twelve
  • 13. Thirteen
  • 14. Fourteen
  • 15. Fifteen
  • 16. Sixteen
  • 17. Seventeen
  • 18. Eighteen
  • 19. Nineteen
  • 20. Twenty

As you can see, besides from eleven and twelve, the next numbers are written adding -teen at the end. This is a pattern used for these numbers.

How to spell numbers 21 to 50 in English

After 20 the numbers until 50 are very easy to write as they follow the same pattern. This pattern is to put the number of the group of ten (e.g. twenty, thirty, etc.) plus the numbers between 1 and 10. We also show you how to write 50 in words:

  • 21. Twenty-one
  • 22. Twenty-two
  • 23. Twenty-three
  • 24. Twenty-four
  • 25. Twenty-five
  • 26. Twenty-six
  • 27. Twenty-seven
  • 28. Twenty-eight
  • 29. Twenty-nine
  • 30. Thirty
  • 31. Thirty-one
  • 32. Thirty-two
  • 33. Thirty-three
  • 34. Thirty-four
  • 35. Thirty-five
  • 36. Thirty-six
  • 37. Thirty-seven
  • 38. Thirty-eight
  • 39. Thirty-nine
  • 40. Forty
  • 41. Forty-one
  • 42. Forty-two
  • 43. Forty-three
  • 44. Forty-four
  • 45. Forty-five
  • 46. Forty-six
  • 47. Forty-seven
  • 48. Forty-eight
  • 49. Forty-nine
  • 50. Fifty

While we are showing you how to write the numbers between 1 and 50, this same pattern can be used to write numbers all the way up to 100, as long as you know the words for each group of ten numbers. After fifty, these numbers are:

  • 60. Sixty
  • 70. Seventy
  • 80. Eighty
  • 90. Ninety

Reading and practising spelling numbers

If you want to know how to spell correctly the numbers and other English words it is very important that you read and pay attention to how the words are written. You also need t practice them regularly. We only remember a certain percentage of what we read, but we can improve our memory if we write them down.

While it might seem like a punishment, re-writing the numbers over and over again is a great way to memorize them. Our brain will start to think of them naturally.

Numbers are written differently in English. Although there's even a difference between American and British English, numbers are written in the same way. However, this is not the case with all the uses of numbers in English. This is why we've prepared an article so you know how to write the date in English.
