What’s on the French Numbers poster
A 7-row table: Number · French · Literally.
The arithmetic gets strange after sixty.
- 60 — soixante — sixty
- 70 — soixante-dix — sixty-ten
- 71 — soixante et onze — sixty and eleven
- 80 — quatre-vingts — four-twenties
- 81 — quatre-vingt-un — four-twenties-one
- 90 — quatre-vingt-dix — four-twenties-ten
- 99 — quatre-vingt-dix-neuf — four-twenties-nineteen
Belgium and Switzerland use septante and nonante for 70 and 90 — far more logical, and not used in France.

- Who is the French Numbers poster for?
- French Numbers belongs to the Languages section rather than to a school year, because languages is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning french can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the French Numbers poster?
- 70 is sixty-ten. 80 is four-twenties. 90 is four-twenties-ten. There is no shortcut. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so French Numbers belongs on the wall where that languages work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with French Numbers?
- Adjective Placement, Articles and Avoir & Être sit alongside French Numbers in the Languages section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Adjective PlacementArticlesAvoir & Être
- Is the French Numbers poster free to download and print?
- Yes. French Numbers downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Languages section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the French Numbers poster print at?
- French Numbers is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of French Numbers loses nothing.Printing guide
