· When declining compound ordinal numbers, only their last part changes. It is this part that has the form of an ordinal number, coinciding with the form of full adjectives: one thousand nine hundred and forty one-in one thousand nine hundred and forty-five;
The remaining parts have the form of cardinal numbers, but do not change: year two thousand and three-until the year two thousand and three.
Collective numbers.
Collective numbers ( two, three, four, five etc. ) are used only in the following cases:
1. with nouns denoting males (two friends, three brothers);
2. with nouns children, people, as well as with nouns denoting names baby animals(four children, seven kids, three rabbits);
3. with nouns that have the form plural only and denoting names of paired or compound objects(two sledges, four gates, seven days);
4. with personal pronouns we you they : There are two of us; there are five of them;
5. with substantiated numerals and adjectives denoting persons: two, three guards entered.
・It can be said two students And two students(both options are equal). But you have to speak two students (two students- wrong).
· Collective numerals express only the number from two to ten. Therefore, when indicating the number of more than ten males, cubs of animals, cardinal numbers should be used: twelve friends, forty-five cubs.
4. Numerals both, one and a half, one and a half hundred.
numeral both has two generic forms: both- masculine and neuter both- feminine gender: in both states, in both countries.
one and a half (one and a half rubles, one and a half thousand). In addition, in indirect cases, this numeral has the form one and a half(about one and a half thousand rubles).
The numeral has a similar form in indirect cases a hundred and fifty (about one and a half rubles).
Fractional numbers.
・When leaning fractional numbers all words change, with the numerator changing as the corresponding integer, and the denominator as the adjective in plural: two (what?) thirds; three (what?) seventh.
The phrases "numeral plus noun" in the nominative and oblique cases.
In the nominative case, the numeral governs genitive case of a noun ( give fifty-five rubles).
In indirect cases, the main word becomes a noun, and a numeral consistent with him ( about fifty five rubles).
Numerals thousand, million, billion in all cases retain the control of the dependent noun in the genitive case: a million rubles, about a million rubles.
The number of nouns used with numerals.
· With numerals one two three four the form is used singular nouns ( two days, four apples), with numerals from five and beyond the noun is put in the plural form ( five days).
numeral one and a half in the nominative and accusative cases governs the noun in the singular, and in the remaining cases the noun is plural ( an hour and a half-about an hour and a half).
The same applies to the numeral a hundred and fifty .
8. Denoting the number of more than ten with nouns that do not have a singular form.
Combinations of compound numbers ending in two three four, with nouns that do not have a singular form ( 22 days-twenty two days), are unacceptable in literary speech. Only combinations of the type are possible twenty-one days, twenty-five days.
If it is necessary to indicate the corresponding number, it is necessary to replace the noun that does not have a singular form with a synonymous one that has both forms of the number ( twenty two days).
· With nouns scissors, tongs etc. you can use words like thing and etc. ( twenty-three pieces of scissors).
Date notation.
In phrases denoting dates, the numeral should always govern genitive case noun: The administration promises to eliminate wage arrears by December 15I (Not december); The letter is dated the twenty-third of DecemberI 1943(Not December 23).
PRONOUN
Pronoun- This independent part speech, which indicates on objects, signs, quantity, but does not name them: me, myself, your, so much and etc.
Pronouns answer the questions of nouns (who? what?), adjectives (what? whose?), numerals (how many?): He laughsmy Brother,some pencils.
Morphological And syntactic signs of pronouns also depend on what part of speech they replace in the text.
Declination is And in addition - by numbers. Declension of numerals provides rich food for exercises in classifications. Substantive declension, for example. Or adjectival. Here you can not do without immersion in the world of phonetics, where it is easy to get lost in search of coincidences of inflections. Linguists have not created an iron system for numerals. And we need guidelines in order to incline any language figure without errors. They, these guidelines, are needed very much.
Conversation confuses us
“To a hundred-oh-three-and-twenty three-and-and add fifteen,” the governess of the baby trains. The teacher with the red crusts doesn't know how the components decline. Why is that? It's not just that knowledge sometimes disappears like the smell of strawberries. IN oral speech more and more often we do not take into account the rule of declension of compound cardinal numbers. “Out of three hundred and sixty-five days, two hundred must be crossed out, which were lost in this dreary service.” Does your ear hurt? It seems to be no, that's all. But let's correct the excellent governess and the unfortunate servant: we will add to one hundred (!) Thirty (!) Five (!), And delete - from three hundred (!) Sixty (!) Five.
Non-accounting approach
But it is not at all necessary to make a meaningful pause every time before a “digital” remark, painfully thinking how compound cardinal numbers decline. Let's deal once and for all with the composite declinable digit. Simple and compound cardinal numbers are one and the same! How so? Yes so. We're not at the congress of morphologists. And not in an accounting course. We are talking about the features of the declension of compound cardinal numbers. Them, these features, and no. Each component in the form of a numeral must be declined separately. This is the relationship between simple and compound cardinal numbers.
Souls and money - there is a difference
We learn about the life of the Primorye people in the southern town. In total, it has 314,453 inhabitants.
Nominative case. Three hundred (first numeral) fourteen (second) thousand (third) four hundred (fourth) fifty (fifth) three (sixth) citizens live in prosperity.
Genitive. Three hundred (1st numeral) fourteen (2nd) thousand (3rd) four hundred (4th) fifty (5th) three (6th) townspeople have prosperity.
Dative. Prosperity came to three hundred (this is 300) fourteen (14) thousand (1000) four hundred (400) fifty (50) three (3) townspeople.
Accusative. For all constituent numerals, except for the last one, it is the same as the nominative case. If the last numeral is "attached" to an animate noun, the accusative case copies the genitive. And if to the inanimate - nominative. The mayor will congratulate three townspeople and spend three rubles.
Instrumental case. The City Hall is proud of three hundred (three hundred) fourteen (fourteen) thousand (thousand) four hundred (four hundred) fifty (fifty) three (three) citizens.
Prepositional. The City Hall takes care of three hundred (three hundred) fourteen (fourteen) thousand (one thousand) four hundred (four hundred) fifty (fifty) three (three) citizens day and night.
So, the correct form of the compound cardinal number is the correct form of the individual numbers. Whether it is the designation of our twenty-five years or the most astronomical numbers - there is no difference. Any numeral behaves independently, in whatever composition it may be. Knowing the main thing, we remove from the agenda the question of how compound cardinal numbers decline. And ordinal - too?
One for all, or the last word
In compound ordinal numbers, all numbers behave in the same way as cardinal numbers. But for the "order" in all declensions, only one word is responsible - the last. It is the last car in the entire echelon that agrees with the noun. Only the last word is changed. After the thousand and first attempt, he succeeded. There could have been 11,362 attempts. After eleven (11) thousand (1000) three hundred (300) sixty (60) second (!) attempts, everything worked out.
Why judges are wrong
But let's get back to the seemingly completed analysis of how compound cardinal numbers decline. We have one rule: each word in the line is inclined by itself. Hence the problem - the constituent cardinal numbers do not stand in front. This is only for ordinal numbers - the ideal order. Everyone is at attention. Except one last one. It turns out that the conversation about how to decline compound cardinal numbers has not yet ended. Features and the rule to which these features are subject, in the linguistic empire of numbers, every corporation has, and sometimes even an individual entrepreneur.
The servant of Themis announces the decree: "The minister shared five hundred tugriks with his assistants." No one will condemn a judge for disrespect to literary language. The audience in the majestic hall will not shout: “Five hundred! Five hundred!" And if he is holding a speech (literally - holding a piece of paper) the face is more important ... "Guys, with our five hundred kilograms of waste paper we will win the competition!" These are the words of the teacher. The mine for numerals in the language is laid down by the ability to indicate the number of numbers in writing. Those who write reports to superiors use this opportunity. And the bosses on the podium have to make decisions with lightning speed. Far from always true.
And the numerals stubbornly - by our conscious efforts - protect the tradition. And they take not by number, but by the depth of time. We can blame them for being "archaic", but so far we are not able to offer something in return.
To get the whole picture of how compound cardinal numbers decline, let's study the behavior of all numbers by name. Well, almost exactly.
One: What's with the adjective?
One barber works. One pot was lost. There is only one window. This is the nominative case. Let's clarify: the number is the only one; genus - complete set. Compare: the barber is skilled, the saucepan is good, but the window is small. It is clear that this numeral took its ending from another part of speech. At the adjective. And a short adjective.
We found one cabinetmaker in the whole city. Lost one boot. We saw only one sun (for example, it takes place on a planet that is warmed by several suns). Let's look at the situation we've already discussed. If the numeral is attached to an animate noun, it is transformed into the accusative case according to the model of the genitive. And with an inanimate construction, everything is clear: the accusative is a copy of the nominative. If we were looking not for a cabinetmaker, but for a loft-style wardrobe, we would say: “Here, we found one wardrobe.” The point is not that the furniture is of different styles, the point is in the category of animation. If we leave the genitive case with the cabinetmaker as an animated noun, then we see: endings, like short adjectives.
We go further from case to case. Don't be lazy, do it yourself. Watch for endings. And you will see that they are the same as adjectives, but complete. We are children of the same time and one country (parental). The grant was given to one writer and one artist (dative).
The same is true in the plural. Full adjectives extended their influence to all cases of the numeral "number one", except for the nominative and accusative, where the influence of the short adjective is observed. Notice how the base softens! Yes, there are only mistakes ... (nominative, analogy with short adjectives). At the exhibition, we met some onlookers (parental). Tickets for the airship were given to one officials (dative). By hope alone we are still alive (creative). I only think about one penny (prepositional).
Why in the women's team they do not command one and a half employees
The speaker on the podium, lulling the meeting with sales percentages (progress, GDP), wisely uses a fractional number instead of a deafening one and a half.
… It's half past one. Long gone half a half. This is the origin of the word "one and a half". Of course, we do not halve the two, but stop exactly half way, in the middle of the moment between the first and second. Why all And here's what. The word has two parts. Do they both change? Or not both? But first, let's compare one and a half kilometers and one and a half miles. The metric difference does not interest us, of course. For us, the ability of the word to change by gender is important. Male and medium - one and a half. Female - one and a half. All cases, excluding the nominative and accusative, are one and a half. Easy to remember. But. You can give benefits to one and a half poor people (dative). You can command one and a half employees (creative) in the workshop. You can take care of one and a half bulls on the farm. However, nothing will come of it, they receive benefits and work in the woman's workshop, and on the farm - not bulls, but cows. The cases mentioned above in the feminine gender (one and a half) are not used. "I'm asking for a month and a half vacation." You will have to ask for the same number of weeks in some other way. And finally, it is clear that both parts of the word are changing. Paul - semi (one and a half - one and a half). Let's keep this in mind when dealing with "one and a half" ranks higher. One and a half hryvnia (nominative). One and a half hryvnia (the form of all cases, you can check).
Is it possible to use one and a half in And why not? One and a half thousand two (1502) rubles. Such is the accuracy. Does one and a half always act as a locomotive? Is it possible to seat these words in the second or even the last carriage? Let's try. He lacks two million and a half hundred subscribers (2,000,150) for happiness. These are the whims. The main thing is that everything is functional. If syntagmas are not taken care of in a conversation, then in the latter case, the addressee may think that there are not enough from 2 to 150 million subscribers. In fact, the request is limited to a more modest amount.
A thousand or a thousand?
Only in the instrumental case is this variability possible. The artist was presented with a thousand bouquets (= a thousand bouquets). In all other cases, we act by analogy with any noun of the first declension. For example, spring. But the case of the instrumental case shows that the word thousand is unlikely to finally pass into the camp of nouns.
200 to 900
We bow both parts. We create combinations of numerals with the word one hundred - as with a noun.
Here they are, two hundred astronauts, three hundred rockets, four hundred suns, five hundred holes and nine hundred aliens (nominative). We don't care about them, 200 astronauts, 300 rockets, 400 suns, 500 holes, and 900 aliens (genitive). We have no reason to be grateful to them, two hundred astronauts, three hundred rockets, four hundred suns, five hundred holes and nine hundred aliens (dative). We should not be interested in them, two hundred astronauts, three hundred rockets, four hundred suns, five hundred holes and nine hundred aliens (creative). But why do we care about them, about 200 astronauts, 300 rockets, 400 suns, 500 holes, and 900 aliens? (prepositional).
One hundred. Account unit. Numerals. And she showed herself as a noun!
Anniversary
50. Endings, as in 5. The ruler traveled about fifty countries and acquired fifty allies. We will do the same with all other numbers up to 80. 80? So, the reference point will be 8. I thought about eight penguins. I thought about eighty penguins. Or maybe all eighty-eight. This is how compound quantitative numbers are formed, there are enough examples.
100, 90, 40. Very comfortable. One single form for all cases (except nominative and accusative). By the age of forty, you think about many things. And by ninety - about the small. In the latter case, be careful: you won’t hear “a” in an unstressed ending. Oh-a difference- only in writing.
5 to 20
Let us take as a model any noun of the third declension. No salt. Fifteen coins are missing. We follow the accent. Eleven - stress on the base.
And here we are again returning to the “middle moment” left somewhere far behind between the first and second.
Two as well as three and four
Two. Well, we will “anatomize” the endings, although this is not at all interesting activity. Two astronauts and two suns. Two stars. We see two generic forms. One - for male and medium. The second is for women. This is the nominative case. In the accusative, everything will be the same. In addition to the already well-known nuance: with animate nouns, we will use the genitive case form. Well, in fact, try to get rid of the question “who?” when it comes to an animated object. We can make two mistakes, but we rely on two comrades.
Other cases. A farmer cannot imagine life without two horses, two cats, two fields and two apple trees (genitive). Yes, he is attached with all his heart to two horses, two cats, two fields and two apple trees (dative). He is proud of two horses, two cats, two fields and two apple trees (creative). His concern for two horses, two cats, two fields and two apple trees (prepositional) knows no bounds. Let's look at the accusative case again. A farmer waters two horses and cultivates two fields. He feeds two cats and fertilizes two apple trees.
As you can see, the analysis of the endings in this case does not lead to anything. Two, two. And the case forms are the same.
In the case of three and four, we focus on the same model. Only the instrumental case can present some difficulty. The farmer is proud of four objects.
Quantitative numerals have several variants of declensions. For a competent change in the names of numerals by cases, it is recommended to remember the schemes with examples presented in this article. Also here are considered the features of the declension of compound cardinal numbers.
There are several schemes for declining cardinal numbers. In order to learn how to change by case all words denoting abstract numbers or quantity, you just need to remember these schemes according to the following table:
|
Numbers that are denoted by words |
|||||||||
|
How do they change |
|||||||||
|
As an adjective name. in the form of a unit h. Wed: Good-th - one-th (R. p.); Good-oh - one-oh (D. p.) |
As an adjective name. in the form of pl. hours (vowel endings differ). Wed: ser- s x fields - four- yo x fields (R. p.); Ser- s m fields - four - yo m fields (D. p.); nice- s mi writers - tr- e me writers (T. p.). |
Like nouns. 3rd sk. To the step And- in seven and P. p.); Life Yu-eight yu (T. p.) |
Like nouns. 3rd sk. (both parts). eight And _ten And(R., D. and P. p.); Six Yu _ten Yu(T. p.) |
There are only two forms with endings: I. V. - -O; R.D.T.P. - A |
As adj. in the form of pl. h. (both parts). Tr-em_st-am (D. p.) - tr-ex_st-ah (P. p.) |
Like a noun. 1st sk. units h. Cottage (V. p) - Thousand (V. p.); Cottage (T. p.) - Thousand (T. p.) |
Like a noun. m. 2nd sk. units h. House - a million (D. p.); House - a million (T. p.) |
||
It should be taken into account that the numeral one categories of gender and number. In the shape of female in some cases, this word takes on the ending of an adjective of the corresponding form: one digit - one woman(D. p.); one digit - a good woman(T. p.)
How compound cardinal numbers decline
This category includes words denoting numbers, in which, in addition to units, tens, hundreds, thousands are also distinguished. For example: three thousand four hundred and ninety-nine, forty-two, five hundred and eleven, etc.
When changing by cases, each of the words is declined according to the scheme.
TOP 1 articlewho read along with this
For example:
(I. p.) - One hundred fifty six;
(R. p.) - one hundred fifty six;
(D. p.) - one hundred fifty six;
(V. p.) - One hundred fifty six;
(T. p.) - one hundred and fifty six;
(P. p.) - (o) one hundred and fifty six.
When declining compound numbers in combination with nouns, confusion often occurs, since each of the words in it takes its own, special form. For those who do not have experience, when declining such combinations, it is recommended to mentally divide them into their component parts. For example:

The category of simple includes such numerals that have only one root in their composition, for example: “five”, “seven”, “ten”. They are like singular nouns, feminine ("night", "help"). That is, in the nominative and accusative cases, the ending is “-ь”, in the instrumental “-ю”, in the rest “-и”. This is what five looks like:- Nominative case: five.
- Genitive case: five.
- Dative case: five.
- Accusative: five.
- Instrumental case: five.
- Prepositional (about) five.
Declension of complex cardinal numbers
Compound numbers are called numbers that consist of two roots ("eleven", "fifty", ""). The declension of these numerals has the following features: for numerals ending in "-twenty" only endings, and for those ending in "-ten", "-hundred" (the latter also include "", "three hundred", "four hundred") they tend to in a number of cases, both roots. Detail:- Nominative case: fifteen; sixty; seven hundred.
- Genitive case: fifteen; sixty; seven hundred.
- Dative case: fifteen; sixty; seven hundred.
- Accusative: fifteen; sixty; seven hundred.
- Instrumental case: fifteen; sixty; seven hundred.
- Prepositional (about) fifteen; sixty; seven hundred.
Features of the declension of some numerals
Numerals such as "forty", "ninety" and "one hundred" have only two forms of declension: "forty", "ninety", "one hundred" (i.p., v.p.); "forty", "ninety", "hundred" (in other cases).The declensions of the collective numerals "both", "both", "four" (and others), as well as the words "two", "three", "four" look like this:
- Nominative case: both; both; four; two; three; four.
- Genitive case: two; three; four; both; both; four; two; three; four
- Dative case: both; both; four; two; three; four.
- Accusative: (whom?) Both; both; four; two; three; four; (what?) both; both; four; two; three; four.
- Instrumental case: both; both; four; two; three; four.
- Prepositional (about, about) both; both; four; two; three; four.
Also keep in mind that in compound numbers consisting of several words (for example: “one hundred and thirty-one”), all words must be declined.
3. 3. 1 Declension of simple numbers
1. All ordinal numbers are declined like adjectives, that is, they have the same case endings, for example, green– first, weak– second, harmful– fourth.
2. Collective numbers are also declined like adjectives, for example, blue– two, about the old– about four. Therefore, one must be careful when changing such numbers and not confuse their endings with the endings of the corresponding cardinal numbers.
Pay attention to the pattern of declension of collective numbers:
3. Cardinal numbers have several different systems of case endings.
Specific endings have numerals one, two, three, four, one and a half, one hundred and fifty, forty, ninety, one hundred.
One two
| One, one two | One Two |
| I. P. One two R. P. One two D. P. One two V. P. One / one two / two T. P. One two P. P. About one about two | One two One two One two One two/two One two About one about two |
Three -
| Three | four | five six twelve | forty, ninety, one hundred |
| I. P. Three R. P. Three D. P. Three V. P. Three / three T. P. Three P. P. About three | four four four four four four four | five five five five five five | Forty Forty Forty Forty Forty Forty |
Numerals one and a half And a hundred and fifty have only two case forms: nominative - accusative and all the rest - one and a half And one and a half hundred.
Numerals forty, ninety, one hundred also have only two case forms: nominative - accusative and all the rest - forty, ninety, one hundred.
Numerals thousand, million, billion, trillion etc. are declined similarly to nouns with the same endings, for example, earth - a thousand, about the table - about a billion.
3. 3. 2 Declension of complex numbers
In the formation of case forms, difficulties can be caused by a change in complex numbers ending in -ten, and numerals ending in -hundred. These numbers in the structure one words have whole two endings - one, as usual, at the end of the word, and the other - in the middle, similar to the ending of simple numbers (from " two" before " nine"), For example, fifty, sixty, seventy, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred. The first part of the numeral is declined in the same way as the corresponding simple numeral, for example, what? three and three hundred, eight and eighty; how? seven and seventy, nine and nine hundred.
Please note that in the composition of complex numbers, the numeral one hundred leaning (- one hundred, -stami, -stakh), while when used as an independent name for a number, it has only one case form - one hundred. It should be remembered that such complex numbers are inclined both parts - by analogy with simple numbers. It is especially important to correctly decline such numerals in the instrumental case.
Declension pattern for complex numbers:
| I. P. Sixty R. P. Sixty D. P. Sixty V. P. Sixty T. P. Sixty P. P. About sixty | Eight hundred eight hundred eight hundred eight hundred eight hundred about eight hundred |
Words a lot, a little, a little, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot should be attributed to one of the varieties of numerals - indefinitely quantitative. These indefinite numbers are declined as adjectives, for example, old– few, funny– so many, oh gentle– about a few.
3. 3. 3 Declension of compound numbers
1) For ordinal compound numbers, only the last word is declined, for example, two thousand four, two thousand four, two thousand four etc.
2) For quantitative compound numbers, all the words that make up their composition are declined, for example, four hundred and forty-four - four hundred and forty-four, one thousand six hundred and seventy-nine - one thousand six hundred and seventy-nine, thirty-five thousand five hundred ninety-three - thirty-five thousand five hundred ninety-three. That is, in order to be able to use a quantitative compound number in the correct form, you should remember the following rule: in a compound quantitative number it declines each word by analogy with simple and complex numbers.
Pay attention to the pattern of declension of compound numbers.
| I. p. R. p. D. p. V. p. T. p. P. p. | Two hundred and ninety-nine Two hundred and ninety-nine Two hundred and ninety-nine Two hundred and ninety-nine | Three thousand one hundred and fifty three Three thousand one hundred and fifty three Three thousand one hundred and fifty three Three thousand one hundred and fifty three Three thousand one hundred and fifty three About three thousand one hundred and fifty three |
3) Fractional numbers - compound numbers (except one and a half And a hundred and fifty). The first part (numerator) is a cardinal number, and the second (denominator) is ordinal. Therefore, the first part changes like an ordinary cardinal number, and the second part changes like an ordinal number, for example, seven ninths - seven ninths, thirty-two fifty-fourths - thirty-two fifty-fourths, three hundred forty-two six hundred ninety-fifths - three hundred and forty-two six hundred ninety-fifths.
