Separation between hundreds and tens

Hundreds and tens are usually separated by 'and' (in American English 'and' is not necessary).

110 - one hundred and ten

1,250 - one thousand, two hundred and fifty
2,001 - two thousand and one

Hundreds
Use 100 always with 'a' or 'one'.

100 - a hundred / one hundred

'a' can only stand at the beginning of a number.

100 - a hundred / one hundred

2,100 - two thousand, one hundred

Thousands and Millions

Use 1,000 and 1,000,000 always with 'a' or 'one'.

1,000 - a thousand / one thousand

201,000 - two hundred and one thousand

Use commas as a separator.

57,458,302

The Number 1,000,000,000

In English this number is a billion. This is very tricky for nations where 'a billion' has 12
zeros. 1,000,000,000,000 in English, however, is a trillion.

But don't worry, these numbers are even a bit problematic for native speakers: for a long time
the British 'billion' had 12 zeros (a number with 9 zeros was called 'a thousand million'). Now,
however, also in British English 'a billion' has 9 zeros. But from time to time this number still
causes confusion (just like this paragraph, I'm afraid). ;o)

Singular or Plural?
Numbers are usually written in singular.

two hundred Euros

several thousand light years

The plural is only used with dozen, hundred, thousand, million, billion, if they are not
modified by another number or expression (e.g. a few / several).

hundreds of Euros
thousands of light years

Prijedlozi se dijele na:

a) prijedloge za mjesto: at (u, na, kod, pri), to (u, ka, prema), in (u), into (u), on (na),
between (između), in front of (ispred), before (ispred), above (iznad), behind (iza),
under (ispod) i dr;

b) prijedlozi za vrijeme: before (prije), after (poslije), since (od), on (u) i dr;

c) prijedlozi za očuvanje porijekla, uzroka, cilja: from (od), by (od), through (pomoću),
towards (prema);

d) prijedlozi za sredstva: by (od, pomoću), in (u), with (s, sa), without (bez).

Prijedlozi mogu biti složeni, tj. sastavljeni su od više riječi: into (u), upon (na), within (u),
outside (napulju), throughout (skroz).

Poslije prijedloga uvijek slijedi "imenica", a nikad glagol. Pod "imenica" mislimo na:

imenice (dog, money, house, love);

lične imenice (Sarajevo, Zagreb, Beograd, Edin, Mary);
zamjenice (you, him, us);
grupne imenice (my first job, your blue book);
gerund (swimming).

Pošto poslije prijedloga ne može ići glagol, a ako to želimo onda moramo koristiti "-ing"
oblik koji je ustvari gerund ili glagolska imenica.

subjekat + glagol prijedlog "imenica"

English Prepositions List

There are about 150 prepositions in English. Yet this is a very small number when you think
of the thousands of other words (nouns, verbs etc). Prepositions are important words. We use
individual prepositions more frequently than other individual words. In fact, the prepositions
of, to and in are among the ten most frequent words in English. Here is a short list of 70 of
the more common one-word prepositions. Many of these prepositions have more than one
meaning. Please refer to a dictionary for precise meaning and usage.

Prepositions can be used to show movement.

For example:-

to, through, across

We use to to show movement with the aim of a specific destination

For example:-
I moved to Germany in 1998.
He's gone to the shops.

We use through to show movement from one side of an enclosed space to the other.

For example:
The train went through the tunnel.

We use across to show movement from one side of a surface or line to another.

For example:
She swam across the river.

Prepositions of movement are prepositions that indicate how one thing is moving in relation to another.
This can be contrasted to prepositions of place, which indicate how one thing is situated in relation to
another.

Some common prepositions of movement are:

onto, into, through, across, past, off of, away from, toward, under, over, along and around.

2.5 Instrument and means

Quirk and Greenbaum say that questions starting with How...? (e.g. How shall I break the window?)
are answered with phrases expressing means or instrument (1973, 159):

a. The idea of instrument can be expressed in two ways, either by using the verb use and its
object, or by using a phrase introduced by with (Leech and Svartvik 2002, 106):

You can use a stone to break the window.

I'll break the window with a stone.

To express means, on the other hand, a phrase introduced by the preposition by is used
(Leech and Svartvik 2002, 106):

By using a stone, he broke the window.

He went there by bus.

b. In the passive, the instrument can be expressed either by a with-phrase or a by-phrase,

whereas the animate and (usually human) agent is always expressed by a by-phrase (Quirk
and Greenbaum 1973, 160):

The window was broken with a ball.

The window was broken by a ball.
*The window was broken with a boy.
The window was broken by a boy.

However, the second sentence suggests that the ball was a kind of independent “agent” rather
than a deliberately used “instrument”.
