Some notes about numbers…
• French uses a period, rather than a comma,
to indicate thousands and millions.
• The word cent does not take a final –s
when it is followed by the numbers 1-99
• The number un is not used before the word
mille to mean a/one thousand. It is used
before million to say a/one million.
More notes about numbers…
• Mille, unlike cent and million, never
takes an –s
• Before a noun, million and millions are
followed by de/d’. [Deux millions de personnes
sont en vacances.]
• When writing out years, the word mille
is usually shortened to mil.
