Good morning, today we have entered the next chapter.
In this article we will learn about numbers.

As we know, there are two ways to learn to count in English, with the Cardinal numbers and Ordinal numbers.

one hundred
one thousand
ten thousand
one hundred thousand
two hundred thousand
five hundred thousand
one million

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 count and so on as above is called cardinal number.
100 = a hundred or one thousand
1000 = a thousand or one thousand

* The word hundred, thousand and million when used to express amounts of the added "s" and followed by "of"
example: Hundreds of books, thousand of birds, Millions of cows

In writing or reading the numbers double word "and" should be written before the number ends:
120 = a hundred and twenty or one hundred and twenty
1005 = a thousand and five or one thousand and five
60 125 = sixty thousand, one hundred and twenty five

Note : I think from now on we must speak english, so you can easily understand it.
