when you count by hundreds use a base

number plus the word hundred this one

means five one hundreds of something

my house is 500 meters from here

my house is

500 meters from here

999

so this number is special because it is

word to count numbers

we bought 999 chairs for the event

we bought 999 shares for the event

we bought 999

chairs for the event

hundred one

one hundred one

when you’re counting three digit numbers

typically it will follow a pattern like

this

number hundred and another number it’s

also extremely common to see one hundred

and one so an and before the final

counting pattern simply use the base

number plus the word hundred there is no

headache headache

head

ache

a headache is a pain in your head so

when we say i have a headache it refers

to a pain that’s specifically maybe

around this area or for many people

perhaps in the back of the head

my headache is getting worse

my headache is getting

worse diarrhea

diarrhea

diarrhea is a very very unpleasant

condition where your body has trouble

processing food and drinks correctly

maybe you have a germ or maybe you ate

something that was not good for your

stomach and so you have to use the

bathroom a lot or the way that your body

produces waste changes a bit

this medicine will stop the diarrhea

symptoms

so a symptom is something that you

notice that gives you a clue about your

sickness so common symptoms are like

fever or a runny nose or a sore throat

these are like the parts of an illness

what are your symptoms

stomachache

sta

ache

so a stomachache refers to again an

unpleasant feeling in the body maybe

because you ate something bad or maybe

because of an illness but a stomach ache

refers to the pain in your body the

earlier word that we talked about that

also refers to a pain or an unpleasant

feeling in the stomach refers to the

waste the body produces this one is very

very common especially among kids

stomach aches

yesterday i had a bad stomachache

yesterday

i had a bad stomachache

clean

so clean can be used as both an

adjective and as a verb when we use it

as a verb it means to make something

tidy or to organize something or to

sanitize something as in did you clean

your room

did you clean your room

dry

so dry can be used as a verb and as an

adjective when we use it as a verb it

can mean to remove the moisture from

something like when you dry your hair it

can also mean to leave something alone

and allow the moisture to leave that

thing for example i’m waiting for the

paint to dry

i’m waiting for the paint to dry

dust

dust can be used as both a noun and a

verb when we use dust as a noun it

refers to the very very small pieces of

dirt that we find usually in the corners

of our homes or maybe we find it on tops

of shelves and so on

i am allergic to dust

vacuum

use vacuum as a verb it means to use

a vacuum cleaner so a machinery

specifically for picking up dust to

clean our house

guests come

i have to vacuum the hallway before the

guests come

i have to vacuum the hallway before the

guests come

intersection

so an intersection refers to a place

where two roads meet the two roads cross

we talk about the middle point of those

roads as the intersection

there is traffic in the intersection

highway

a highway is a road that sometimes is

actually higher than other roads though

not always sometimes it’s at a regular

level but a highway is generally a place

where cars can travel very quickly

highways are generally outside of cities

or they’re above cities

traffic conditions on the highway are

normal this morning

traffic conditions on the highway are

normal this morning

traffic conditions on the highway are

normal this morning

road

so road is a very general word that we

can apply to many different situations a

highway is a type of road you can

imagine a path in the park is kind of

like a small road your everyday city

streets we can call roads as well so

basically anything that you use to

travel

usually with a car or maybe with a

bicycle is something we can call a road

there is ice on the road

street

so we use streets as a way to organize

our cities so we often use street and

road interchangeably so we tend to use

street when we’re talking maybe about

cities or in neighborhood situations

let’s cross the street

interesting

interesting is an adjective we use

interesting to describe something that

we find cool or something that sparks

our curiosity something that is exciting

to us

the title of the book seemed interesting

mean

we use the word mean to describe someone

who is unkind someone who is mean is not

nice to other people

some people are just mean and don’t want

others to be happy

some people are just mean and don’t want

others to be happy

some people are just mean and don’t want

others to be happy

bored

so bored is used to talk about your own

feelings when there’s nothing to do or

you don’t feel excited or you don’t feel

interested in something you can describe

that feeling with bored remember when

you want to talk about something outside

you that doesn’t cause you to feel

interested you describe that thing as

boring your emotions bored

i’m bored

i’m

bored

seven hundred

se then hundred

when you’re counting numbers by hundreds

just put the base number before hundred

in this case seven plus hundred makes

seven hundred

this statue is seven hundred years old

this statue is seven hundred years

old 800

800

so just like the last example 800 refers

to 8 hundredths of something

the field is 800 hectares

two hundred

so again when you’re counting by

hundreds simply put the number before

the word hundred so two hundred refers

to 2 100s of something

we have over 200 books here

we have over 200 books

here

three hundred

again the latest example three plus

hundred refers to three 100s of

something you can see that in english we

don’t make a change to the number that

comes before 100. in some languages your

number that you use to count hundreds

may change according to the sound or

according to the spelling of the word in

english we do not need to change this

base number

this school has 300 students

this school has 300

students

600

our final example of hundreds today is

six hundred so again six comes before

the word hundred to refer to six one

hundredths of something

six times one hundred equals six hundred
