Numbers 20-69
The number consists of a word for the multiple of ten plus optionally the number for the unit 1-9 from the list opposite. Names of the tens:
| 20 | vingt |
| 30 | trente |
| 40 | quarante |
| 50 | cinquante |
| 60 | soixante |
Tens and units are joined with a hyphen. So,
22 = vingt-deux,
45 =quarante-cinq etc.
If the unit is a 1, then the word et is inserted between tens and units:
21 = vingt et un,
31 = trente et un etc.
Numbers 70-79
These continue on from soixante-neuf:
70 = soixante-dix,
71 = soixante et onze,
72 = soixante-douze,
73 = soixante-treize etc.
Notice the et in 71 which mimics the behaviour of 21, 31 etc.
Numbers 80-99
The French for eighty is quatre-vingts.
Numbers 81-99 consist of quatre-vingt- (minus the -s) plus a number 1-19: 81 = quatre-vingt-un,
82 =quatre-vingt-deux,
90 = quatre-vingt-dix,
91 = quatre-vingt-onze etc.
Notice that none of these numbers use the word et.
