Note:
1. The number mille doesn’t use an “s” even when it refers to several thousands.
2. The number cent uses an “s” when it refers to several hundred as deux cents, trois cents etc… but drop the ‘s’in cents when a number follows it.
3. “un” does not precede “cent” or “mille” when you say “one hundred” or “ one thousand”.
