    Before the year“2000”:

    For years up until 2000, separate the


    four numbers into two pairs of two:
    1965 = "nineteen sixty-five“
    1871 = "eighteen seventy-one"
    1999 = "nineteen ninety-nine"
    1501 Fifteen “oh” one or ,fifteen one,

    1820 Eighteen twenty

    1946 Nineteen forty six


    For the decade 2001 – 2010
    Say "two thousand and —-" when speaking British English

    2001 = "two thousand and one"


    2009 = "two thousand and nine"

    However, from 2010 onwards you have a choice.


    For example, 2012 can be either "two thousand and twelve" or "twenty
    twelve".

    1/2 One-half or a half

    1/3 One-third or a third

    1/4 One-fourth or one quarter

    1/5 One-fifth

    2/3 Two thirds


    Notice how we add an “s” at the
    end

    2/4 Two fourths


    Here is an example of mixed fractions. If the numerator is more than one, the denominator is plural,
    adding s as a suffix.
    Basically, there are three ways to pronounce a fraction. Let's take 2/3 as
    an example. We say it as: two-thirds, two over three, and two divided by
    three. "Over" is used in a more casual manner or for larger and complex
    numbers.
    Extra Tips
    Saying 0
    Depending on the context, we can pronounce zero in different ways:
    2-0 (football) = "Two nil"
    30 – 0 (tennis) = "Thirty love"
    604 7721 (phone number) = "six oh four…"
    0.4 (a number) = "nought point four" or "zero point four"
    0C (temperature) = "zero celsius degrees"
    Talking about calculations
    + (plus)
    = (equals / makes)
    2 + 1 = 3 ("two plus one equals / makes three")
    – (minus / take away)
    5 – 3 = 2 ("five minus three equals two" / "five take away three equals two")
    x (multiplied by / times)
    2 x 3 = 6 ("two multiplied by three equals six" / "two times three equals six")
    / (divided by)
    6 / 3 = 2 ("six divided by three equals two")
