MEMORISING VOCABULARY
– Repeat new words out loud.
– In your logbook, write down the words that seem important, or that you want to memorise.
– Tie the words you learn to a context, write them down in sentences; give yourself examples.
– Link new words to words you already know.
– In order to remember the words you have learned over time, it is crucial to go over them regularly.
– Practice guessing the meaning of new words: words that are similar to those in your mother tongue, or in another language, for example.
– Pretend you’re in situ: say the sentences out loud that are liable to be useful in a given situation.
STUDYING THE RULES OF GRAMMAR
– Practice using the rules of grammar: if you’ve learned a verb conjugation by heart, make up sentences with this verb that can be used in real life situations.
– Compare this with how it works in your own language or a foreign language; the differences and similarities can help you remember the topic you’ve been studying.
LEARNING FROM YOUR MISTAKES
– Read the correct answers carefully. Compare your answers to the given solutions so that you can understand your mistakes better.
– Read the help sections carefully. Don’t forget that you may always read them in the language you choose. To get to all the help sections of the subject, click on “Help” (to the right of the page where the activities are listed).
– Don’t forget that you learn from your mistakes!
Les nombres 100 and up
100 to 999
| 100 | cent | |
| 200 | deux cents | |
| 300 | trois cents | |
| 400 | quatre cents | |
| 500 | cinq cents | |
| 600 | six cents | |
| 700 | sept cents | |
| 800 | huit cents | |
| 900 | neuf cents |
French vs English
- There is no article or number in front of cent when it means one hundred – don’t say un cent.
- 200 and up require an s at the end of cent.
For “hundred and something” numbers, just say the number of hundreds and then state the rest of the number – there’s no “and” equivalent in the French number.
| 101 | cent un | |
| 125 | cent vingt-cinq | |
| 201 | deux cent un | |
| 243 | deux cent quarante-trois |
When cents is followed by another number, it loses the s: deux cents but deux cent un.
Listening practice: 100-999
1,000 to 999,999
| 1,000 | mille | 1.000 | 1 000 | |
| 2,000 | deux mille | 2.000 | 2 000 | |
| 2,500 | deux mille cinq cents | 2.500 | 2 000 | |
| 10,498 | dix mille quatre cent quatre-vingt-dix-huit | 10.498 | 10 498 |
À noter
- Mille is invariable – it doesn’t become milles (but see approximate numbers)
- English uses a comma separator, while French uses a period or a space
Les nombres 60 – 99
French Numbers: 60-69
The numbers 60 to 69 follow the same rules as 20 to 59.
| 60 | soixante | |
| 61 | soixante et un | |
| 62 | soixante-deux | |
| 63 | soixante-trois | |
| 64 | soixante-quatre | |
| 65 | soixante-cinq | |
| 66 | soixante-six | |
| 67 | soixante-sept | |
| 68 | soixante-huit | |
| 69 | soixante-neuf |
French Numbers: 70-79
Things start getting weird at 70 because standard French* doesn’t have a new “tens” word here; instead,soixante is kept and the “ones” just continue climbing into the teens:
| 70 | soixante-dix | |
| 71 | soixante et onze | |
| 72 | soixante-douze | |
| 73 | soixante-treize | |
| 74 | soixante-quatorze | |
| 75 | soixante-quinze | |
| 76 | soixante-seize | |
| 77 | soixante-dix-sept | |
| 78 | soixante-dix-huit | |
| 79 | soixante-dix-neuf |
Soixante-dix literally means “sixty-ten,” soixante et onze means “sixty and eleven,” soixante-douze is “sixty-twelve,” etc.
French Numbers: 80-89
Likewise, there’s no word for “eighty” in standard French.* The French say quatre-vingts, literally four-twenties.** So 81 is quatre-vingt-un (four-twenty-one), 82 is quatre-vingt-deux (four-twenty-two), etc.
French Numbers: 90-99
In keeping with the general weirdness at this end of the number scale, there’s no standard French word for ninety* either; it follows the same pattern as 70. That is, you continue using quatre-vingt and adding from ten. 90 is quatre-vingt-dix (four-twenty-ten), 91 is quatre-vingt-onze (four-twenty-eleven), etc.

Les nombres 0 – 59
French Numbers: 0-19
The numbers 0 to 19 are pretty easy; you just need to memorize them like any other vocabulary.
| 0 | zéro | 10 | dix | |
| 1 | un | 11 | onze | |
| 2 | deux | 12 | douze | |
| 3 | trois | 13 | treize | |
| 4 | quatre | 14 | quatorze | |
| 5 | cinq | 15 | quinze | |
| 6 | six | 16 | seize | |
| 7 | sept | 17 | dix-sept | |
| 8 | huit | 18 | dix-huit | |
| 9 | neuf | 19 | dix-neuf |
Proper pronunciation
You’ll notice that the consonants at the end of cinq and huit are pronounced. However, this is only true when the numbers stand alone (as in the sound files), are at the end of a sentence, or precede a vowel or h muet. When either of these numbers is followed by a consonant, that final sound is dropped.
Par exemple…
| cinq professeurs | five teachers | q is silent |
| cinq étudiants | five students | q is pronounced [k] |
| J’en ai cinq. | I have five of them. | q is pronounced [k] |
The above is true for six and dix as well, but there’s a further complication. The x is pronounced [s] when they stand alone or are at the end of a sentence, but when they precede a vowel, the pronunciation changes to [z] due to the required required liaison.
Par exemple…
| six professeurs | six teachers | x is silent |
| six étudiants | six students | x is pronounced [z] |
| J’en ai six. | I have six of them. | x is pronounced [s] |

French Numbers: 20-59
The French numbers 20 through 59 are formed just like their English equivalents: the tens word (vingt, trente, quarante, cinquante) is joined by a hyphen to the ones word (un, deux, trois, etc).
There is one difference: for 21, 31, 41, and 51, the word et (and) is required between the tens word and un, without hyphens.
| 20 | vingt | 30 | trente | |
| 21 | vingt et un | 31 | trente et un | |
| 22 | vingt-deux | 32 | trente-deux | |
| 23 | vingt-trois | 33 | trente-trois | |
| 24 | vingt-quatre | 34 | trente-quatre | |
| 25 | vingt-cinq | 35 | trente-cinq | |

Telling Time
 |
|
Lire l’heure
Knowing how to tell time is essential for traveling, meeting up with friends, making appointments, and getting to work or school on time. Once you learn these formulas, you’ll never have an excuse to be late again!
French time
There are three French translations for “time,” each with a different meaning.
| l’heure | time as in telling time |
| Quelle heure est-il ? | What time is it? |
| le temps | time as in a period of time |
| J’ai passé du temps ici. | I spent some time here. |
| la fois | time as in instance |
| Je l’ai fait une fois. | I did it one time. |
Only heure is needed for this lesson – when telling time, it’s equivalent to “o’clock.”
Heure is required, unlike o’clock. In English, we can say “It’s almost five” or “He’ll be here at eight thirty,” but in French, you must say Il est presque cinq heures and Il arrivera à huit heures trente.
Two more important notes about heure:
- It’s a noun, so it’s singular with une (une heure, une heure vingt, etc) and plural with all other numbers (deux heures, quinze heures trente, etc)
- Its abbreviation h is used where a colon is used in English: (1h00, 1h20, 2h00, 15h30)
French numbers
The foundation of telling time is knowing the French numbers 1 through 24. Why not just 12? In French, time is usually based on the 24-hour clock, like military time. Instead of 1 to 11 a.m., followed by 12 to 11 p.m., the clock continues counting up from 12, so that 1 p.m. is 13, 2 p.m. is 14, all the way up to 24.
Midnight itself can be stated as minuit, 24h00, or 0h00, but one minute later, 24 disappears: 0h01, 0h02, etc.
While you definitely need to be able to understand the 24-hour clock, you don’t necessarily need to talk about time with it. Instead, you can use the phrases du matin to mean a.m., and then de l’après-midi from noon until around 6 p.m., followed by du soir until midnight.
Telling time
| What time is it? | Quelle heure est-il ? | |
| It’s one o’clock | Il est une heure | 1h00 |
| It’s two o’clock | Il est deux heures | 2h00 |
| It’s 3:15 | Il est trois heures et quart | 3h15 |
| It’s 4:30 | Il est quatre heures et demie | 4h30 |
| It’s 4:45 | Il est cinq heures moins le quart Il est quatre heures quarante-cinq |
4h45 |
| It’s 5:10 | Il est cinq heures dix | 5h10 |
| It’s 6:50 | Il est sept heures moins dix Il est six heures cinquante |
6h50 |
| It’s 7:20 | Il est sept heures vingt | 7h20 |
| It’s 8:40 | Il est neuf heures moins vingt Il est huit heures quarante |
8h40 |
| It’s 8 a.m. | Il est huit heures du matin | 8h00 |
| It’s 5 p.m. | Il est cinq heures de l’après-midi Il est dix-sept heures |
17h00 |
| It’s 8 p.m. | Il est huit heures du soir Il est vingt heures |
20h00 |
| It’s noon | Il est midi | 12h00 |
| It’s midnight | Il est minuit | 0h00 |
Though I’ve heard many French people speak otherwise, the official grammar rule is that the fractions et quart, et demie and moins le quart are informal and can only be used with 1 to 12. Once you’re into the 24-hour clock, you must use quinze, trente, and quarante-cinq.
Par exemple…
| 1:15 | une heure quinze une heure et quart |
treize heures quinze treize heures et quart |
| 3:30 | trois heures trente trois heures et demie |
quinze heures trente quinze heures et demie |
| 4:45 | quatre heures quarante-cinq cinq heures moins le quart |
seize heures quarante-cinq dix-sept heures moins le quart |
Il est is the only correct phrase for telling time. You cannot say c’est une heure. Also, it doesn’t matter that heure is a feminine noun: il est is impersonal, so you can’t say elle est une heure either.
