Uno, un and una

Uno becomes un before a masculine noun and una before a feminine one: un libro, una casa. From sixteen to twenty-nine the numbers are written as one word: dieciséis, veintitrés. From thirty on they take y: treinta y uno.

Cien is a hundred exactly; the numbers after it start with ciento: ciento uno. The hundreds agree with a feminine noun: doscientas personas.

Questions about these words

How do I read big numbers?
Split them into groups of three digits and read each group with its word: thousand, million. English writes a comma between the groups; German puts a point, and Spanish and French a space or a point.
What is the best way to learn numbers?
Practise them aloud with the numbers you see: prices in a shop, the time, house numbers on the street. Numbers are learnt by ear, so listen to each one before you say it.
