Formerly septante, octante, and nonante were used instead of soixante et dix, quatre-vingts, and quatre-vingt-dix. 75. Cent takes an s when preceded by a number by which it is multiplied, as deux cents, deux cents hommes, but cent is undeclined when followed by another number, with which it is numerally connected, deux cent dix hommes; cent is also undeclined in expressing a date, l'an deux cent. Vingt also takes an s when preceded by a number by which it is multiplied, as quatre-vingts, cent quatre-vingts francs, six vingts hommes (six vingts is sometimes used instead of cent vingt). But vingt does not take s when followed by another number with which it is connected, as quatre-vingt-deux. 76. The conjunction and used in English after the word hundred when followed by another number, with which it is connected, is not expressed in French; as, three hundred and twenty, trois cent vingt. Nor is the word one generally expressed before hundred or thousand; as, one hundred and ten, cent dix; one thousand eight hundred and forty years, mille huit cent quarante ans. But we may say un cent, when speaking of things which are sold by the number; as, un cent d'épingles, a hundred pins. 77. Mille, a thousand, never takes s, as deux mille, dix mille; it is spelt mil in expressing the date of the year, as l'an mil huit cent huit, the year 1808. Mille, a mile, takes an s in the plural; as, dix mille milles, ten thousand miles. Premier 78.
