Introduction
Knowing numbers in a new language is very important. How else can you ask for two croissants, or tell someone that there are five people in your family?
Since you already know how numbers work in English, you just have to learn their names in French.

Putting Numbers Together – mettre les chiffres ensemble
Numbers do a funny thing in languages – they start to repeat. Think of how you use the same “twenty” in “twenty-three” and “twenty-four”. Or the same “thirty” in “thirty-six” and “thirty seven”. And how often do you use the same “seven” in “ fifty-seven”, “sixty-seven”, “seventy-seven” and “eighty-seven”? That means you just need to know a few numbers between one and ten keep being used over and over. Take “vingt” (20) and add a “trois” (3) to make “vingt-trois” (23).
If you start with “vingt” (20) and add a “quatre” (4) you get “vingt-quatre” (24). And “sept” (7) appears in every seven number such as “cinquante-sept” (57), “soixante-sept” (67), and even “sept mille” (7000).
Big numbersFrench as a different way of representing numbers in the 70s, 80s and 90s. In French, 70 is 60+10, or “soixante-dix”. Eighty is four twenties, or “quatre-vingt”, and 90 is four twenties plus ten, as in “quatre-vingt-dix”!
Today's date
You know how to write a date in English, don’t you? First, you write the month, then the number of the day, and then the year. For example, you might write April, 18, 2015.
The French use the same information we do in a date, but they put ut in a different order. In French, the month goes in the middle, so it’s le 18 avril 2015. They put the number of the day first, followed by the month, then the year. Even when they only use numbers for a date instead of words, they still write it so that the month is in the middle. April, 18, 2015 is 4/18/15 in English but 18/04/15 in French.

Tips – Trucs
In English, the days of the week and the months of the year are capitalized. In French, they don’t get capitalized because they’re not considered proper nouns.
