Brojevi

Brojeve (numbers) koristimo neposredno ispred brojivih imenica kako bismo točno odredili njihov broj.

Kardinalni brojevi

Ove brojeve koristimo kako bismo odredili točan broj nečega:

• one, two, five, hundred, two thousand …

Kardinalne brojeve u rečenici možemo kombinirati s članovima a/an i the te posvojnim oblicima kao što su my ili your.

• Millions of people live in poverty.
