doesn't cause you to feel interested you describe that thing as boring your emotions bored i'm bored i'm bored i'm bored seven hundred seven hundred se then hundred when you're counting numbers by hundreds just put the base number before hundred in this case seven plus hundred makes seven hundred this statue is seven hundred years old this statue is seven hundred years old this statue is 700 years old 800 800 800 so just like the last example 800 refers to 8 hundredths of something the field is 800 hectares the field is 800 hectares the field is 800 hectares 200 200 200. so again when you're counting by hundreds simply put the number before the word hundred so two hundred refers to two one hundreds of something we have over two hundred books here we have over two hundred books here we have over two hundred books here three hundred three hundred three hundred again the latest example three plus hundred refers to three one hundredths of something you can see that in english we don't make a change to the number that comes before hundred in some languages your number that you use to count hundreds may change according to the sound or according to the spelling of the word in english we do not need to change this base number this school has 300 students this school has 300 students this school has 300 students 600 600 600 our final example of hundreds today is six hundred so again six comes before the word hundred to refer to six one hundredths of something six times 100 equals six hundred six times one hundred equals six hundred six times one hundred equals six
