First, let's review the cardinal numbers 1-30: //1. uno 2. dos 3. tres 4. cuatro 5. cinco 6. seis 7. siete 8. ocho 9. nueve 10. diez 11. once 12. doce 13. trece 14. catorce 15. quince 16. dieciséis 17. diecisiete 18. dieciocho 19. diecinueve 20. veinte 21. veintiuno 22. veintidós 23. veintitrés 24. veinticuatro 25. veinticinco 26. veintiséis 27. veintisiete 28. veintiocho 29. veintinueve 30. treinta// 

The next step is to learn to count by 10s all the way to 100: //10. diez 20. veinte 30. treinta 40. cuarenta 50. cincuenta 60. sesenta 70. setenta 80. ochenta 90. noventa 100. cien//

Now, see how easy it is to fill in the gaps: //31. treinta y uno 32. treinta y dos 33. treinta y tres 34. treinta y cuatro 35. treinta y cinco 36. treinta y seis 37. treinta y siete 38. treinta y ocho 39. treinta y nueve 40. cuarenta 41. cuarenta y uno 42. cuarenta y dos etc.//

This pattern continues all the way to 100: //53. cincuenta y tres 54. cincuenta y cuatro 65. sesenta y cinco 66. sesenta y seis 78. setenta y ocho 88. ochenta y ocho 99. noventa y nueve etc.//

From 101-199, use "ciento": //ciento uno ciento dos ciento tres ciento sesenta y uno ciento sesenta y dos etc.//

Notice that "y" is used only in numbers 31-99 (and 131-199, 231-299, 331-399, etc.) and it is **not** used to separate hundreds from tens. **Correct:** ciento ochenta y nueve **Incorrect:** ciento y ochenta y nueve

To get to 1000, all of the rules you have learned so far continue to apply. All you need to do now is learn to count by 100s all the way to 1000, and that is quite easy: //100. cien 200. doscientos 300. trescientos 400. cuatrocientos 500. **quinientos** 600. seiscientos 700. **sete**cientos 800. ochocientos 900. **nove**cientos 1000. mil//
