  1. Note that Spanish uses a period to indicate thousands and millions, rather than a comma as used in English.

  2. The numbers 200 through 999 agree in gender with the nouns they modify. • 324 bolsas = trescientas veinticuatro bolsas • 605 sombreros = seiscientos cinco sombreros • The word mil, which can mean a thousand and one thousand, is not usually used in the plural form when referring to numbers. • Un millón (a million or one million), has the plural form millones in which the accent is dropped. • 1.000 zapatos = mil zapatos • 25.000 faldas = veinticinco mil faldas • 2.000.000 de clientes = dos millones de clientes

  3. To express a more complex number, string together its component parts. 55.422 cincuenta y cinco mil + cuatrocientos + veintidós cincuenta y cinco mil cuatrocientos veintidós

  4. ¡ATENCIÓN! • When millón or millones is used before a noun, the word de is placed between the two: • 1.000.000 de hombres = un millón de hombres • 12.000.000 de aviones = doce millones de aviones • See Estructura 2.4 to review the difference between cien and ciento: • 100.000 = cien mil 2.101 = dos mil ciento uno

  5. ¡INTÉNTALO!Give the Spanish equivalent of each number. 1. 102 _____ 7. 235 _____ 2. 5.000.000 _____ 8. 1999 _____ 3. 2001 _____ 9. 113 _____ 4. 1776 _____ 10. 205 _____ 5. 345 _____ 11. 17.123 _____ 6. 550.300 _____ 12. 497 _____
