《数字类的英语知识框架图》
I. Cardinal Numbers (基数词)
A. Basic Numbers (基本数字)

B. Number Formation (数字构成)
- Compound Numbers (复合数字): 21-99 (e.g., Twenty-one, Thirty-five). 使用连字符连接十位数和个位数。
- Numbers with Hundreds (带百位的数字): 使用 "and" 连接百位和后面的数字 (e.g., One hundred and fifty, Two hundred and seventy-three). 在书面英语中,'and' 的使用越来越随意,尤其是在美式英语中。

- Exceptions (例外情况):
- Eighth (注意拼写,只有一个t)
- Ninth (nine -> ninth, 去掉e)
- Twelfth (twelve -> twelfth, v变为f)
- Numbers ending in "y" (e.g., Twenty -> Twentieth, Thirty -> Thirtieth). 将 "y" 变为 "i" 并添加 "-eth".

- "The majority/minority" (大多数/少数)
- Percentage (百分比)
IV. Decimals (小数)
A. Decimal Point (小数点)
- Read as "point" (读作 "point"). e.g., 3.14: Three point one four.
B. Reading Decimals (小数的读法)
- Read each digit after the decimal point individually (小数点后的每一位数字单独读). e.g., 0.75: Zero point seven five; 2.05: Two point zero five.
