 Use singular number words for specific numbers

In English, when we say specific large numbers, words such as “thousand,”

“hundred thousand,” “million,” “billion” and “trillion” always stay singular—
even though what they’re describing, like “dollars” or “people,” are plural.

So, you would say “five million dollars ($5,000,000)” but not “five millions dollars.”
“Sixty thousand people (60,000 people)” is correct. “Sixty thousands people” is not.
You’d only say “hundreds” or “thousands” or “millions” if you weren’t
specifying a particular number. In other words, you can correctly say, “billions of
people” or “trillions of dollars,” as long as you’re not including an exact figure.

But, if you were to say an exact number—like “five billion people” or “eighteen
trillion dollars”—you’d have to drop the “s.”
Ordinal numbers
Fractions
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.
Years
 Before the year“2000”:

For years until 2000, separate the

four numbers into two pairs of two:

19|65 = "nineteen sixty-five“

18|71 = "eighteen seventy-one"
19|99 = "nineteen ninety-nine"
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".
2021 = twenty twenty-one
Extra
Tips
Saying 0
Depending on the context, we can pronounce zero in different ways:

604 7721 (phone number) = six oh four…

0.4 (a number) = zero point four
0C (temperature) = zero 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")
