Expression of number in English 1
Hi,everyone
I would like to ask questions about expression of number in English here,
If i express 21,46 and the other two-digit number in words,should i separate the two words with hyphen'-',like twenty-one,forty-six ?
Can i leave the hyphen out,like twenty one,forty one...Here i mean is not to be an adjective,twenty-five clothes..
260 or 351 and etc, written in words,is it necessary add 'and' between the figures such as two hundred and sixty,three hundred and fifty-one ?
l learned that it need not add 'and' between the number in American English,two hundred sixty....
Numbers between 1000 and 1,000,000 is usually said or written in words as:
1,803 = one thousand, eight hundred and three (AmE: one thousand, eight hundred three).Is it right?
1706 =seventeen hundred and six (or 'seventeen oh six'),can i express 1706 in seventeen oh six?Is it formal or not?
1800 can be said or written as "eighteen hundred" or " one thousand eight hundred ",which one is formal and common used in spoken English ?
Thanks in advance

So that it means 1800 is eighteen hundred or 1801 is eighteen hundred and one when i'm expressing a year or date;otherwise,i can say 1800 and 1801 as either eighteen hundred or one thousand eight hundred and eighteen hundred and one or one thousand eight hundred and one respectively,am i?
