      “Okay. You head over to City Hall East. I’ll meet you there. The briefing starts at eleven hundred, sharp.”

Usage notes edit

Unlike cardinal numerals up to ninety-nine, the word hundred is a noun like dozen and needs a determiner or other modifier to function as a numeral.

  • a hundred women / one hundred women / the hundred women
  • compare a dozen women / one dozen women / the dozen women
  • compare ten women / the ten women

Hundred can be used also in plurals. It doesn't take -s when preceded by a determiner.

  • two hundred women / some hundred women
  • hundreds of women

In telling military time, "hundred" is typically only used for exact hours, e.g. 09:00 is "oh nine hundred" and 21:00 is "twenty-one hundred", while 03:30 is "oh three thirty". Sometimes, nonstandardly (e.g. in fiction by authors not entirely familiar with military time-telling), 03:30 may be read as "oh three hundred thirty".
