Writing Tip: Numbers
Do you know when to put a number, and when to write it out?
Up to five?
Past 100?
The real answer: neither.
When writing numbers in a story, correct grammar would to be type it out.
Ex. Ninety-five
It doesn't matter how high this number is.
Examples
One hundred
One hundred and fifty
Seventy-three
Twenty-seven
One thousand
Forty thousand
You will write most numbers out, not ex. 100. The only time you would put the actual number [ex. 4] is when the number is very specific. If the number is more than three or four words, you would put the actual number.
Examples
1,348
933
20,152
When writing years, you will always write the number.
2013
2021
2019
1782
1992
And now you know 😊
Remember, when writing a number, you always spell it out [seven hundred], but when the number is more than three or four words, you put the actual number [149, 103].
That's proper grammar, and will make your book correct and will improve your writing in numbers 😇
Have a blessed day💜
