77 soixante-dix-sept
78 soixante-dix-huit
79 soixante-dix-heuf

Note: Before the 1990 Spelling Reform, numbers including et as well as numbers higher than 100 didn’t include the hyphen. Therefore you might encounter numbers such as 41 / 200 written as quarante et un / deux cents. However, nowadays, following the Spelling Reform it is recommended to use hyphens with any numbers lower or greater than 100 (quarante-et-un / deux-cents).

Question 9

Hint: note that quatre-vingts takes an “s” unless it’s followed by another numerical adjective.

Answer 9

80 quatre-vingts
81 quatre-vingt-un (without et in between)
82 quatre-vingt-deux
83 quatre-vingt-trois
84 quatre-vingt-quatre
85 quatre-vingt-cinq
86 quatre-vingt-six
87 quatre-vingt-sept
88 quatre-vingt-huit
89 quatre-vingt-neuf

J’ai quatre-vingts-deux euros.
I have eighty two euros.
Here euros in not a numerical adjective, so you agree.

Question 10

Numbers 90 - 99

Hint: note as for seventy, ninety becomes “eighty-ten” (80 + 10) in French.

Answer 10

90 quatre-vingt-dix
91 quatre-vingt-onze (Note: NO et, just like 81)
92 quatre-vingt-douze
93 quatre-vingt-treize
94 quatre-vingt-quatorze
95 quatre-vingt-quinze
96 quatre-vingt-seize
97 quatre-vingt-dix-sept
98 quatre-vingt-dix-huit
99 quatre-vingt-dix-neuf

Question 11

100

Hint: note that 80 quatre-vingts takes an “s” unless it’s followed by another numerical adjective. So to this rule applies to hundreds: you write CENTS unless it’s followed by another numerical adjective.

Answer 11

*In French, to express one hundred, we simply say cent (never un cent)

deux-cents
two hundred

trois-cent-quarante
three hundred and forty

J’ai cinq-cents euros.
I have five hundred euros.
Here euros in not a numerical adjective, so you agree.

Question 12

Numbers + nouns

My grandmother is ninety-four years old.

My uncle has seventy-two hens (poules).

Laurent spent (a dépensé) seventy-eight euros yesterday.

I have eighty-three dollars in my piggy bank (dans ma tirelire).

There are ninety-nine animals in that zoo (animaux dans ce zoo).

Answer 12

Note that to say how many things there are, you simply use the number + thing (plural after 1), for numbers up to 999.

Mon oncle a soixante-douze poules.
My uncle has seventy-two hens.
