* Notice the accents on dieciséis, veintidós, veintitrés, and veintiséis- these accents are
not on the other combined numbers between 17-19 and 21-29
*Numbers 16-19 can be written as three words with “y” between diez and the number.
*Numbers 21-29 can be written as three words with “y” between veinte and the number.
* Until 30, the numbers can be combined and written as one word. After 30, many
numbers are written as more than one word (as shown with 31 and 32)
*One Hundred (ciento, cien) is just cien in front of feminine or masculine nouns as well
as in front of mil or millones. (Ex: cien libros, cien páginas). BUT if the number is more
than one hundred, it becomes ciento (ciento veinte libros, ciento cuarenta páginas)
* Hundreds beyond 100 become feminine in front of feminine nouns. (Ex: doscientas
páginas, trescientas amigas)
