Pattern Notice
Numbers 13-19 all end with "-teen". This pattern continues for all teen numbers. The stress is usually on the "-teen" part.

Learn the tens numbers. These will help you form all numbers up to 99.

Example: 25 = Twenty + five = Twenty-five. 38 = Thirty + eight = Thirty-eight. Notice the hyphen (-) between tens and units.
Ordinal Numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd...)
