Greetings from SW and the 7D behind the 7M, Hey Ho💫
Yes, that was very clear and easy to understand, very structured, thank you very much!
But I wonder, why it is not, for example, "five MILLIONS and..." or "twenty-seven MILLIONS and...", because it is more than a million and plural. I accept it, but it is so strange, that I always intuitively want to say "millions".
For me, it was new, that the tens were written with a hyphen. I did not notice that right away. For you, that goes without saying. I noticed it, when I wrote out the numbers. I wondered, if the tens were actually written together (twentyseven/twenty-seven). But that is actually a different topic. ✨
Hey! You're very welcome. All perfect except for the last one missing ‘thousand’ - six million, seven hundred and eighty-one thousand, four hundred and seventy-six.
You’re right… it’s strange that we say ‘million’ and not ‘millions’. I have a video about this! ua-cam.com/users/shorts2xpo8Tjafaw
There’s always a hyphen with the tens 🙌🌻
Hey ho! 7️⃣🌨️🤍
two hundred and sixty one
He said, "We had to cross the river and go ahead." How to change this into indirect speech. Please make a short video for such complex questions
I have a video all about reported speech. I can't remember whether it includes reporting 'have to'. Here's the link in case you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/1gdI6PWqzs8/v-deo.html
I will certainly make some short videos on the topic too.
Regarding the phrase above, he said they had had to cross the river and go straight ahead. ('cross' and 'go' remain in the infinitive form because the semi-modal 'have to' is always followed by the infinitive). 🙌🌻
Thank you ma'am. But still confused why there are double "had"
@@hulkhogan8190 No problem. It's because the main verb is 'have to'. It is a semi-modal, which is used when there is an obligation to do something. The direct speech was 'We had to...' - the Past Simple of 'have to'.
In reported speech, we backshift, which means to go one tense into the past. Past Simple becomes Past Perfect.
The Past Perfect is formed with 'had + V3' (v3 = past participle). That's how you get 'Had had to...' The first 'had' is the auxiliary 'had' from the Past Perfect tense. The second 'had' is the past participle of the main verb 'have to'.
An example with 'have' as the main verb:
Direct: "I had breakfast."
Reported: He said he had had breakfast.
Another example with 'have to' as the main verb:
Direct: "I had to leave early."
Reported: She said she had had to leave early.
@@EnglishWithEm really thankful and impressed.

I hope this is correct
Absolutely perfect! 👌🌻
@@EnglishWithEm 🙏❤️
@@EnglishWithEm -- All of the "ands" can be skipped, at least in American English.
Hi mam!
What would i say 1- A hundred and one euro/euros?
2- One thousand and one dollar/dollars?
Hi! The plural form is correct in both cases.
Hi Emma!
I watched your short but useful video on difference between bed and the bed; I wanted to leave a comment but i couldn't. That is why I am doing it here. I hope you don't mind.
As you know the is the most common word in English it is also the most difficult word for foreigners to master. There are a lot of videos on the subject on the net, but all of them except one, teach about rules; but what learners need is the reason not rules, something that you did in your video. In your video you showed that the changes the meaning of the word after it. All native speakers know this and that is why they never make mistake with it. So I hope you will kindly consider the following suggestion. Please Choose a text full of the or write one yourself. It could be about anything like mermaids or fairies. And then go through it and explain why there is a the before a word and what that word means with the, and what it would mean without the, as you did in the video about bed. That way we will learn the logic of using the the and hopefully will make fewer mistakes.Sorry about the length of my comment!
Have a nice time and thank you.
Hi Bubble, thank you! 'The' is complicated! It is not always the case that whether or not we use 'the' changes the meaning. Most of the time, when we talk about places, it is correct to use 'the'. We go to the cinema, the theatre...(we use 'the' in these cases because we are referring to specific locations). We never say 'I'm going to cinema'. However, there are a number of places where it does make a difference. I plan to do videos on all of these!
I'll consider the idea of explaining the use of 'the' using a text. I often do it that way in my classes, so it makes sense. 🙌🌻
@@EnglishWithEm thank you Emma! Looking forward to watching the video.
@@BubbleFrisk-wg8qo 🙌🌻😊
Hi Emma!
Thanks a lot for your answer and the good news about doing videos on the ,the, plus a placed like school, university, hospital, prisons, churches, supermarkets...... as you explained in the hospital video, institutionens with and without the have different meanings. What would the preposition be if you worked There? What does being at hospital or at the hospital mean?
Thanks
@@BubbleFrisk-wg8qo Always a pleasure!
If you worked there, you would say 'I'm at the hospital', or simply 'I'm at work'. It's not correct to say 'I'm at hospital'. The same goes for university. 🌻
😍
😊🌻
I think this is for British. Not sure if Americans say it the same way
Yes, you're right. I've amended the video description to say taht it's British English. In US English, you don't say 'and'.
7 thousand,three hundred and twenty four
numbers in the tens should be hyphenated: twenty-four 😊🌻
261: two hundred and sixty one
5,149: five thousand, one hundred and forty nine
12,804: twelve thousand, eight hundred and four
316,392: three hundred and sixteen thousand, three hundred and ninetwo
6,781,476: six million, seven hundred and eightyone thousand, for hundred and seventy six
Nicely done!
Only one small correction - we use a hyphen with the tens: forty-nine, ninety-two, eighty-one, seventy-six
😊🌻
Six hundred one=601
six hundred and one
Seven thousand,three hundred and twenty four
7,324 👌
How to read money
I'll add that to my list of videos to make 😊🌻
it is amazing how English waste a lot of words to say the same it takes half the words in other languages.
700050
Seven lac fifty right or wrong
Mam I'm from india
We don't use lakh in the UK, so I had to check the meaning in Google. Apparently, seven lakh is seven hundred thousand. In England, 700,050 = seven hundred thousand and fifty.
algum brasileiro aprendendo ingles tambem? kkkkkk
Hundred and forty eight
Remember the 'a' - a hundred and forty-eight 148
Six hundred fifty and three hundred and eight
Six hundred and fifty - 650
three hundred and eight - 308
150=1 hundred fifty
Yes, with 'and' - a hundred and fifty 🌻
Seven lakh fifty
2 thousand and 1 hundred and ninty
two thousand, one hundred and ninety - 2,190
Seven hundred thousand,fifty or Seven million fifty
700,050 - seven hundred thousand and fifty.
7,000,050 - seven million and fifty.
@@EnglishWithEm -- The "ands" are not said in American English.
@@robertveith6383 Yes, I know. I mention that in the video description.
@ English with Em -- You do not speak for Americans. I don't about other English-speaking countries. The "ands" are non-standard. For instance, 150 will very commonly be said as "one hundred fifty" in the United States. The leaving out of the "ands" is the same for your other examples in the United States.
If you read the video description, you will see that I clearly state that this is British English, and I mention that the 'and' is not said in US English.
8 million 3 hundred and five thousand nine hundred and thirty seven
Nice! It's also good to use commas because it improves readability:
Eight million, three hundred and five thousand, nine hundred and thirty-seven. (also, numbers in the tens should be hyphenated - ).
Why don't you say thirty hundred and five (..305....) instead is three hundred and five?
Because 30 hundred would be 30 x 100, which is 3,000. 3 hundred is 3 x 100 = 300, plus 5 = three hundred and five.
@@EnglishWithEm thanks a lot!
@@mariangelfrancoespinosa8717 You're welcome 😊🌻
因為它已被使用，而在我的國家卻沒有被使用🤷😕😒🙄🤔
I read it like this: two millions seven thousand thirty one nine hundred forty eight. I learned that we say and when we read a decimal or cents
I believe that's the correct way to do it in US English.
One correction (true in both US and UK English) - when we specify the number of millions, we use the singular form - two million...
I have a video about this in case you're interested: ua-cam.com/users/shorts2xpo8Tjafaw
😊🌻
261 - two hundred and sixty-one
5,149 - five thousand a hundred and forty-nine
12,804 - twelve thousand eight hundred and four
316,392 - three hundred and sixteen thousand three hundred and ninety two
6,781,476 - six million seven hundred and eighty-one four hundred and seventy-six
Nicely done! A couple of small corrections:
5,149 - five thousand, one hundred and forty-nine (we say 'one hundred' rather than 'a hundred' when it forms part of a larger number).
316,392 - ....ninety-two (hyphenate the tens)
6,781,476 - six million, seven hundred and eighty-one thousand, four handred and seventy-six.
🙌😊🌻
@@EnglishWithEm Thanks a lot!

two hundred and sixty-one
five thousand, one hundred and forty-nine

Perfect, except for one word missing from the final one:
Six million, seven hundred and eighty-one thousand, four hundred and seventy-six 😊🌻
Great to know 👍. Can we read this number as follows,2170 two thousand one hundred seventy is it correct ? Because in Google they omitted the "and" Thanks for your hard work in your

Eighteen thousand,nine hundred and eight

Eighteen thousand nine hundred and six
18,906 👌
Six hundred fifteen thousand,three hundred and eight
Yes, but I would also add 'and' before fifteen thousand - six hundred and fifteen thousand.
261
two hundred and sixty one
5,149
five thousand, one hundred and forty nine
12,804
twelve thousand, eight hundred and four
316,392
three hundred fifteen thousand, three hundred and ninty two
6,781,476
six million, seven hundred eighty one thousand, four thousand and seventy six
Nice! A few very minor corrections.
The tens should be hyphenated - sixty-one, forty-nine, ninety-two, eighty-one, seventy-six.
316,392 = three hundred and 'sixteen'...
In UK English, we say 'and' before the tens: three hundred and fifteen thousand...
six million, seven hundred and eighty-one thousand...
However, in US English, they don't say 'and', so you are still correct! 😊🌻
Two hundred and sixty one.
Five thousand a hundred and forty nine.
Twelve thousand eight hundred and four.
Three hundred and sixteen thousand three hundred and ninety two.
Six million seven hundred and eighty one thousand four hundred and seventy six.
Good work! Pretty much perfect!
The numbers from 21-99 should be hyphenated - forty-nine, ninety-two... and in number 2, it's more typical to say 'one hundred' than 'a hundred'. 🙌🌻
2 million 7 hundred and thirty one thousand 9 hundred and forty eight
Great! As in your other answer, readability is improved with commas and a hyphens:
Two million, seven hundred and thirty-one thousand, nine hundred and forty-eight 😊🌻
This is so helpful! One question...why is "thousand" (singular) and not "thousands"?...I keep saying, for example...5000 = five thousandS 🥲
Thanks Vanessa! I have a short video that explains this point: ua-cam.com/users/shorts2xpo8Tjafaw 🙌🌻
Because if "thousand" preceded with a number :we don t make "S"
Ex :two thousand.
But if thousand don t preceded with a number we make "s".
Ex: There where hundreds of people.
NB:
The same rule with:(hundred and million)
@@salamsalamo9944 Yes, exactly👌🌻
