attention
1) The number 100 can be said in two ways in English: the hundred or one hundred. To form the other hundreds, just join the word hundred to a word that represents a unit (two, three, four...).
Examples:
400 - four hundred;
500 - five hundred;
600 - six hundred
2) Unlike what happens in Portuguese, the use of the conjunction and (and) to link units, hundreds and thousands is optional.
Examples:
145 - Thehundred and forty-five or the hundred forty-five
1.234 - a thousand and two hundred and thirty-five or a thousand, two hundred thirty-five
Ordinal numbers (ordinal numbers)

attention
1) In English, when a number is formed by more than one algorithm, only the last digit is expressed as an ordinal.
Examples:
21st - only the number "1" is expressed as an ordinal number: twenty-first
75th - only the number "5" is expressed as an ordinal number: seventy-fifth
2) Generally, English ordinal numbers are formed by adding the suffix “-th”. However, the spelled form of some numbers has the suffixes: “-st” (first), “-nd” (second) and “-rd” (third).
Note that the short form of expressing each ordinal number is done by using the last two letters of the form in full.
Examples:
- 1st > first > 1st
- 2nd > dryna> 2na
- 3rd > third > 3rd
- 15th > fifteenth > 15th
- 38th > thirty-eightth > 38th
