You will find a list of all numbers and some rules to form a few of them and remember them easily. The vocabulary will be used in sentences and questions so you can how useful they are for different situations in the language.
Numbers in Spanish 1-10: The numbers from 1 to 10
We say LOS NÚMEROS to refer to numbers. There are two main categories: cardinal and . This lesson is about cardinal numbers, “números cardinales”, which are often used to share or get some personal information about ages, phone numbers and many other things. Numbers from 1 to 20 are all written in a different way so we must memorize them as they are the basis for more complex numbers. UNO is a special case as it changes to UN when used before a , which means it would be correct to say UN CARRO but not UNO CARRO. The picture below shows numbers from one to twenty one.
The numbers in Spanish from 1 to 21
The following chart shows some sentences and questions using numbers from one to ten. Pay attention to the way we use s, “pronombres personales”, and , “adjetivos posesivos”, in some of the sentences and some common like TENER(to have) and HAY (there is/there are). The words in bold are “números”. Press PLAY to listen to the examples.

Numbers in Spanish 11-20: The numbers 11 to 20
Spanish from 11 to 20, “los números del once al veinte”, must be memorized too. You will notice there is a simple pattern to follow for numbers from 16 to 19 as all you need to do is join the prefix DIECI plus a SEIS, SIETE, OCHO or NUEVE. The number “dieciséis” is special though because it needs a tilde over the “é”. The chart below has the numbers 11-20 and shows how they can be used in meaningful sentences and questions. Again, we will be using the verbs TENER and HAY in these examples.
