Notes:

Uno changes to un when used in front of a masculine noun: un hombre, veintiún hombres. Una is used to refer to a feminine noun: una mujer, treinta y una mujeres. Uno is used only when counting (uno, dos, tres) or when it refers to a masculine noun but does not precede that noun: ¿Cuántos libros tienes? - Uno.

Note that 21-29 are usually a single word composed as follows

• take veinte
• drop the final e
• add i (and)
• add the digit

21-29 can also be written as three words, just as the 30's through 90's are:

• take veinte, treinta, cuarenta, etc.
• add y (and)
• add the digit
