<p>Before we learn more about 2012 in words, let’s first understand a few basic rules. Always spell out<a>numbers</a>at the beginning<a>of</a>a sentence instead of writing the numeral. Another thing to remember is when we write<a>fractions</a>, we must always use a hyphen for the fractions (e.g., one-third). The same goes for all compound numbers like twenty-one or fifty-six. These are some basic rules one must always keep in mind when writing<a>numbers in words</a>.</p>
