The word mil, which can mean a thousand
and one thousand, is not usually used in
the plural form when referring to numbers.

Un millón (a million or one million), has
the plural form millones (used with 2 million
and higher), in which the accent is dropped.

¡Atención! When millón or millones is used
before a noun, the word de is placed between
the two:
1.000.000 de hombres = un millón
de hombres
12.000.000 de aviones = doce millones
de aviones.

years), string together its component parts.
