257. Uno, when not in compounds or when in compounds
and following the noun, is inflected as are the adjectives in -o.
When it precedes the noun in compounds it is uninflected.

258. Ciento becomes cien when
immediately before the noun (70 c). Both
forms are uninflected. In the plural ciento is
inflected as are the adjectives in -o.
| cien libros, |
a hundred books. |
| doscientas vacas, |
two hundred cows. |
| trescientos caballos, |

259. Compound numbers are formed in Spanish in

is used only between the last two numbers, and only when the last
is less than ten.

123. |

| mil caballos, |
a thousand horses. |
a. Mil has a plural miles,
' thousands,' and ciento has cientos,
' hundreds.'

ciento, and mil. Before millón

de pesos, |

the ordinals are used up to décimo.

| Alfonso trece, |
Alfonso the thirteenth. |
