Practising English

B2 talking about big numbers - millions etc.


Listen Later

And today we're going to talk about very large numbers, how to use them. And also an interesting article about outer space. Now, when we talk about numbers, I mean, large numbers, hundreds, thousands, millions, [billions] and trillions. Well, we usually use them in the singular. So we say a million, or 1 million, 2 million, two million five hundred thousand, several million. So we don't put the s on the end of these large numbers.
