As if French language didn’t have enough grammar rules with exceptions, French conjugation tenses and irregular verbs, when it comes to numbers it also seem to go all wrong between 70 and 99. Why is that? How can you remember once and for all how to say 70, 80 and 90 in French and count easily? I’ll share with you my best tips to overcome this challenge, and a bit of history for you to understand why some French numbers seem so different!

30 = trente

40 = quarante

50 = cinquante

60 = soixante

70 = soixante-dix

80 = quatre-vingts

90 = quatre-vingt-dix

73 = soixante-treize

87= quatre-vingt-sept

97= quatre-vingt-dix-sept

76 = soixante-seize

Let you rest – smoky brain from all the math !
