We always use the numbers in different ways: asking and giving a phone number, pay at the supermarket, to say how many years we have or how many children we have, etc...
Following are the basic Spanish numbers and patterns in which they are formed with audio:

Write the numbers in words in Spanish:
here.
Pay attention:
» The Spanish number
"one" may take three forms:
"un / una" when the number comes before a noun (masculine or feminine) and
"uno" when it is not accompanied by other words, this form refers to a masculine singular noun.
Example:
Algunos animales se escaparon, un tigre continúa perdido.
(Some animals escaped, a tiger is still lost.)
Ella compró una docena de huevos.
(She bought a dozen eggs.)
A: ¿Tienes un lápiz para prestarme? B: Sí, tengo uno.
(A: Do you have a pencil I can borrow? B: Yes, I have one.)
» Up to 30, numbers are written as just one word "trece, veinticinco, veintiocho" and after the number 30 the particle "y" is used only between full tens and units: "ochenta y cinco, cuatrocientos cincuenta y siete, mil ciento treinta y seis".
» Hundreds agree with the gender of the noun they refer to.
Example:
Cuesta trescientos pesos mexicanos. / Cuesta trescientas pesetas.
(It costs three hundred pesos mexicanos. / It costs three hundred pesetas.)
» The number
"cien" is used only for a complete hundred (100). If it is followed by tens or units, it becomes
"ciento".
Example:
Ciento diez. Ciento cincuenta. Cien mil.
(One hundred and ten. One hundred and fifty. A hundred thousand.)
» With millions, preposition
"de" is used, but the preposition isn't used if there is a number after the million.
Example:
Cincuenta millones de habitantes.
(Fifty million people.)
Cincuenta millones quince habitantes.
(Fifteen and fifty million people.)
» In Spanish "un billón" is a million of millions: 1 000 000 000 000.
