Special Tips:

  1. Use a hyphen (-) when writing numbers between 21-99 (except exact tens) Example: “Twenty-three” but “Twenty”
  2. Numbers can show:
  • Age: “I am twenty years old”
  • Time: “The movie starts at seven”
  • Money: “The book costs fifteen dollars”
  • Quantity: “I need thirty pencils”
