Number names are simply expressing numbers in words. For example, 1 is written or read as one. Number words make it easier for us to learn and identify numbers. 

Number names are always written considering the place value of the digit in the given number. Number names from 1 (one) to 10 (ten) are used for writing words of higher numbers.

1. The place value of the number is always considered when writing numbers in the word form. 

For example : 

4 at ones place is four, 

4 at tens place is forty,

4 at hundreds places is four hundred and so on.

1. Number names from 1 to 9 are used to write the names of higher numbers.
2. Number names from 13 to 19 have the suffix ‘teen’ for example : 13 – thirteen, 14 – fourteen, 15 – fifteen, and so on.
3. Number names for multiples of 10 up to 90 use ‘ty’ as a suffix, for example : 20 – twenty, 30 – thirty, 40 – forty, and so on.
