There are two important rules to remember in this chapter:
- (1)The only cardinal numbers which decline in Latin are unus, duo, tres and milia (“one, two, three and thousands”).
- (2) Latin expresses partition (e.g. “all of …, some of …”) in two ways:
- 1) with the genitive which is used with milia (“thousands”), superlatives, words designating partition, and certain pronouns and adjectives; or,
- 2) with ex/de + ablative which is used with all numbers except milia and quidam (“certain”).
