Mil, a thousand. 



The cardinal numbers for eleven hundred, twelve hundred, 

 two thousand, three thousand, etc., are mil y ciento, mil y 

 docientos, dos mil, tres mil; for a hundred thousand, two 

 hundred thousand, etc., cien mil, docientos mil; for a million, 

 two millions, etc., un millon, dos millones. Millon is not an 

 adjective, but a noun. 



Uno is declinable, changing the final o into a whenever it 

 refers to a feminine noun. All of the cardinal numbers ending 

 in ientos form their feminine in as ; as, docientas mugeres, two 

 hundred ivomen. The rest are indeclinable. 



All the ordinal numbers change the last o into a to form their 

 feminine. 



Uno drops the last letter when it comes before a noun. 



Ciento drops its last syllable when it comes immediately 

 before a noun, but not when any other word comes between it 

 and the noun ; thus, cien soldados, a hundred soldiers ; and 

 ciento y tres soldados, a hundred and three soldiers. 



Primero and tercero, among the ordinals, drop the final o 

 before a noun. 



The cardinal ntimbers (and not the ordinal) are generally used 

 in Spanish to express order or rank, when the number exceeds 

 nine ; when under nine, the ordinals are employed ; thus 



Enrique Octavo, Henry Eight 

 (the Eighth). 



Carlos Doce, Charles Twelve (the 



Tomo diez y echo, volume eighteen 

 (the eighteenth). 



Pagina septima, page seventh (the 

 seuenth). 



In mentioning the days of the month, the Spanish use the 

 cardinal adjectives and not the ordinal, as in English, except in 

 the first day, in which primero and not un is used ; thus 



El tres de Marzo, the three 

 (tit ird) of March. 



El diez y seis de Mayo, the six- 

 teen (sixteenth) of May. 



El primero de Enero, the first of 

 January. 



El dos de Febrero, the tioo 

 (second) of February. 



In dates where figures are used, the article is omitted, and 

 except the first day of the month, the cardinal numbers are 

 used ; as 



Madrid, 1 de Junio de 1845, Madrid, June 1st, 1845. 



Paris, 4 de Julio de 1846, Paris, July 4th, 1846. 



Londres, 27 de Agosto de 1847, London, August 27th, 1817. 



The hour of the day is expressed by the ordinal numbers 

 preceded by the definite article, which must in such a case agree 

 with horas, hours, understood (unless the hour be one, when it 

 agrees with the singular, hora) ; thus 



i Que hora es ? it-hat o'clock is it ? 

 Es la una, it is one o'clock. 

 Son las dos, it is two o'clock. 

 Sou las diez, it is ten. 



Son las tres menos diez minutos, 

 it is ten minutes before three. 



Son las ocho y veinte minutos, 

 it is twenty minutes after eiglit. 



In speaking of the age of persons or things, the verb tener is 

 employed in Spanish ; as 



Carlos tiene doce anos, Charles 

 is twelve years old. 



El Seiior Tournay no tiene cin- 

 cuenta anos, Mr. Tournay is not 

 fifty years of age. 



In Spanish it is not said, in expressing measurement, "twenty 

 feet high," or "ten feet long;" but "twenty feet of height," 

 " ten feet of length ;" as 



La casa tenia sesenta codos de The house was (had) sin'ty cubits 

 largo, y veinte codos de ancho, y long, and tu'enty cubits wide, and 

 treinta codos de altura, thirty cubits in height.

 que, en sorte que, so that ; tellement que, in such a manner 

 that ; si ce n'est que, sinon que, unless that, but that ; govern 

 the following verb in the indicative or conditional mood, when 

 the preceding verb expresses a positive assertion ; but they

 tent de TOIIS.

Behave in such a manner that 

 people may be pleased with you. 



sentence two or more verbs 



governed by a conjunction, que must be placed before the 

 second and the following verbs, or the conjunction itself may 

 be repeated : 



Since we plead, we die, and we 



become sicfc, we must have physicians, 



Puisqu'on plaide, qu'on meurt,

 in French as in English : 



we must have lawyers.

 you. 



Do good to-day, s'nce thou yet 

 livest. 



Nothing dazzles great minds, be- 

 cause nothing is higher than they. 



Fais du bien aujourd'hui puis- 



e tu vis encore. VILLEFKE. 



Eien n'^blouit les grandes ames, 

 parce que rien n'est plus haut 

 qu'elles. MASSILLON. 



"With regard to the conjunction si, see 121, (3.), (4.). 



141. COLLOCATION OF WORDS. 



(1.) The place of the different parts of speech has been men- 

 tioned in the Syntax under their several heads, and in various 

 other parts of the work. A summary of the principal rules of 

 construction may. however, not be unacceptable here. 



(2.) The collocation of words is the order according to which 

 the several words which form a sentence should follow one 

 another. This order is fixed for the several forms of sentences, 

 affirmative, negative, and interrogative, by the genius of the 

 language, and the practice of the best writers. 



(3.) The construction of the affirmative sentence is as simple 

 in French as it is in English. The following is the arrange- 

 ment of the words : 



1. The Subject. 

 Le marchand 

 The merchant 



2. The V 



est 



Tlie Adverb. 

 ici. 

 here. 



est 



ici. 



here. 



(4.) When the subject is accompanied by an adjective, or 

 another attribute, the order is as follows : 



1. The Subject. 2. Its Attribute. 3. The Verb. 4. The Adverb. 

 Le marchand anglais 

 The merchant English 



Le flls de votre ami est la, 



The son of your friend is there. 



La marteau de fer est ici. 



The hammer of iron is here. 



Le bateau a vapeur est la. 



The b->at ' steam is there. 



(5.) When the attribute of the subject is placed in apposition 

 with the verb, the construction is the same in the two lan- 

 guages : 



1. The Subject. 

 Le marchand 

 The merchant 



2. The Verb. 

 est 



3. The Attribute. 

 anglais. 

 English. 



(6.) When the verb is in a compound tense, many adverbs 

 are placed between the auxiliary and the participle : 

 1. The Subject. 2. The Auxiliary. 3. The Adverb. 4. The Participle.
