　　How To Pronounce Dates and Numbers in English

　　Dates

　　In English, we can say dates either with the day before the month, or the month before the day:

　　The first of January / January the first.

　　Remember to use ordinal numbers for dates in English.

　　(The first, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the twenty-second, the thirty-first etc.)

　　Years

　　For years up until 2000, separate the four numbers into two pairs of two:

　　1965 = nineteen sixty-five

　　1871 = eighteen seventy-one

　　1999 = nineteen ninety-nine

　　For this decade, you need to say "two thousand and —-" when speaking British English:

　　2001 = two thousand and one

　　2009 = two thousand and nine

　　Large numbers

　　Divide the number into units of hundreds and thousands:

　　400,000 = four hundred thousand (no s plural)

　　If the number includes a smaller number, use "and" in British English:

　　450,000 = four hundred and fifty thousand

　　400,360 = four hundred thousand and three hundred and sixty

　　Fractions, ratios and percentages

　　½ = one half

　　1/3 = one third

　　¼ = one quarter

　　1/5 = one fifth

　　1/ 6 = one sixth etc

　　3/5 = three fifths

　　1.5% = one point five percent

　　0.3% = nought / zero point three percent

　　2:1 = two to one

　　Saying 0

　　Depending on the context, we can pronounce zero in different ways:

　　2-0 (football) = Two nil

　　30 – 0 (tennis) = Thirty love

　　604 7721 (phone number) = six oh four…

　　0.4 (a number) = nought point four / zero point four

　　0C (temperature) = zero degrees

　　Talking about calculations in English

　　+ (plus)

　　2 + 1 = 3 (two plus one equals three)

　　- (minus / take away)

　　5 – 3 = 2 (five minus three equals two / five take away three equals two)

　　x (multiplied by / times)

　　2 x 3 = 6 (two multiplied by three equals six / two times three equals six)

　　/ (divided by)

　　6 / 3 = 2 (six divided by three equals two)
