Counting from cero to treinta is the foundation for prices, dates, ages, and saying how many of something there are. Below is every number with how to say it out loud, the three little grammar rules that go with numbers, and practice you can quiz yourself on.
these come up every time you use numbers
uno is the only number that changes. Before a masculine noun it drops to un; before a feminine noun it becomes una. This also happens at 21.
un hombre = veintiún hombres
una mujer = veintiuna mujeres
¡Ojo! When you're just counting (uno, dos, tres...) or it comes before a noun, you always use uno: la lección uno.
Both mean how many — you just match the noun. Use ¿Cuántos? with masculine words and ¿Cuántas? with feminine words.
¿Cuántos chicos hay? — How many boys?
¿Cuántas chicas hay? — How many girls?
hay covers both. Ask ¿Hay...? for "Is / Are there...?" and say no hay for "there isn't / aren't."
