The easiest way to learn the numbers in Spanish is by diving them into the following four groups.

• 1 to 20

• 21 to 29

• 30 to 99

• 100 to 1000

Why? Doing so will help you figure out the pattern Spanish numbers follow in no time! Let’s start!

Special Rule

Uno (one) is the only number in this series that has gender.

Uno turns into three different words depending on how you use it in a conversation.

• un (Use it with masculine nouns.)

• una (Use it with feminine nouns.)

• uno (Use it to substitute a noun.)

Un, una, and uno are equivalent to the English words “a,” “an,” and “one.”

For a full explanation on how to use un, una, and uno visit the post called Definite and Indefinite Articles in Spanish.
