Grammar 1
English numbers are just as the majority of systems we currently use all over the world this are the "Arabic numerals" and they are descended from the Indian numeral system developed by Indian mathematicians.
I would like to emphasis that well knowing the numbers is very important no matter what language we are speaking, but particularly in english is very important to well pronuncing them so there can not be any misunderstandings.
1 one 11 eleven 21 twentyone 40 fourty 1,000,000 one million
2 two 12 twelve 22 twentytwo 50 fifty 10,000,000 ten million
3 three 13 thirteen 23 twentythree 60 sixty 100,000,000 one hundred million
4 four 14 fourteen 24 twentyfour 70 sevety 1,000,000,000 one billion
5 five 15 fifteen 25 twentyfive 80 eighty
6 six 16sixteen 26 twentysix 90 ninety
7 seven 17 seventeen 27 twentyseven 100 one hundred
8 eight 18 eighteen 28 twentyeight 1,000 one thousand and 0 zero
9 nine 19 nineteen 29 twentynine 10,000 ten thousand
10 ten 20 twenty 30 thirty 100,000 one hundred thousand

Now I want you the take care particularly with few numbers that are most difficult to pronounce right at the beginning, such as number three, five, nine, twelve along together with the rest of the teen numbers ( those are the numbers between 10 and 20) so you can difference them to the ten numbers which are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60,70, 80, 90.
​Number three pronunciation key: The 'th' sound is possible to make it sound by when pronouncing the normal letter 't' you will let air come out from under your teeth and between your tongue, so this creates the unmistakable sound of number three, therefore you will be easy to understand.
I strongly recommend you to watch this video

​
Number five pronunciation key: When pronouncing the number five make sure you do it on two times sound: One that is open open ending sound when pronouncing the first syllable and a second one when the 've' sound is emphasised by blowing out the air in between your lower lip and your teeth stuck together
Number twelve pronunciation key: The letter "t" followed by a "w" it is a sound that can also be found in many other words ( such as the twenty numbers, twister, twins etc.), and you want to pronouncing it correctly by remembering that this sounds a little bit like shhhshing in your "t" sound right before saying a normal "w" sound, it may some how sound like the cho-cho of a train.
Teen numbers VS ten numbers: Just remember that every teen number must be differenced from every ten number by well end pronouncing it in the last syllable and emphasising the sound of the last letter "n"

KINDS OF NOUNS
Proper Nouns and Common Nouns
Proper nouns are nouns that represent a unique entity (like a specific person or a specific place).

car He drove his car very fast.

Countable and Uncountable
Countable nouns are common nouns that can become a plural.
Examples:
one car, two cars, ten cars... therefore the noun "car" is a countable noun
"one bike" "a friend" " computers" are countable things, so they are countable nouns
​
Uncountable (or noncount) nouns are different from by the simple fact that they can't become plural or combine with number words.
Examples: "indigestion" , "furniture", "sugar" "water"
We can turn them in to a countable noun by adding a messurement before the noun itself.
Examples: one set of furniture, two sugar spoons, a litre of water.

Collective Nouns
Collective nouns name groups consisting of more than one individual or entity. The group is a single unit, but it has more than one member.
Examples: "family", "committee", "corporation","faculty", "army", and "school".
Concrete Nouns and Abstract Nouns
Concrete nouns refer to their ability to register on your five senses. If you can see, hear, smell, taste, or feel the item, it's a concrete noun.
Examples: lime, rose, flag, house, car, tape, notebook, milk, mask, potatoe.......

Abstract nouns on the other hand refer to abstract objects such as ideas or concepts.
Examples: "politeness", "love" or "hatefulness"
Possessive Nouns
A possessive noun is a noun that names who or what has something. The possessive form is used with nouns referring to people, groups of people, countries, and animals.
It also refers to where someone works or plays or spends their time.
​
Add an apostrophe and s ('s) to form the possessive of most singular nouns .
Examples: Bob's jacket, the cat's tail, Steven King's books.

Add an apostrophe (') to form the possessive of plural nouns that end with s.
Examples: retailers' stores, soldiers' weapons, Americans' banks.
​
Add an apostrophe and s ('s) to form the possessive of plural nouns that do not end with s.
Examples:. geese's nest, children's toys, women's dresses.
