Note
It is common for confusion to arise when writing the numbers correctly, but really if you follow the rules and with practice, you will see that it is something very simple, due to how the numbers between 16 and 19 and 21 are pronounced. and 29, now they are written as we already mentioned, in juxtaposition, that is, in a single compound word, in this case eighteen that comes from ten and eight, since it is the sum of these two numbers, you should always remember that it is as if ten will be pluralized and therefore the Z should be changed to a C and the y to a Latin i, leaving: eighteen.
