Overview

Eleven is a cardinal number in the English language that follows ten and precedes twelve. It occupies a unique position in the base-ten system as the first two-digit number. While most numbers between thirteen and nineteen share a common suffix (-teen), eleven is linguistically distinct, reflecting its ancient Germanic origins.

Usage Patterns

In spoken English, 'eleven' is used as a standard count or a descriptor for quantity. It functions primarily as an adjective (e.g., 'eleven players') or a noun (e.g., 'he scored an eleven'). Because it is a two-syllable word, it is easy to pronounce, though learners should be careful to stress the second syllable (/ɪˈlɛv.ən/).

Common Contexts

This number appears frequently in sports, particularly in soccer, where each team has eleven players on the field. It is also common in time-telling, as in 'eleven o'clock,' and in everyday counting tasks. In some cultures, 'eleven' is associated with specific traditions, such as the eleventh hour, which refers to the latest possible time before a deadline.

Similar Words Comparison: Eleven is often confused with 'twelve' by beginners. While 'eleven' is 11, 'twelve' is 12. Unlike numbers from thirteen to nineteen, 'eleven' does not end in '-teen,' which can be a point of confusion for those learning English number patterns. Understanding that 'eleven' and 'twelve' have unique names, unlike the systematic naming of 'fourteen' or 'fifteen,' is essential for language mastery.

사용 참고사항

Eleven is a standard numeral used in all registers of English. It does not have specific formal or informal variants. Always ensure you do not add a 'teen' suffix.

자주 하는 실수

The most frequent error is mispronouncing it as 'seven' or incorrectly adding a 'teen' suffix. Ensure you count it as a unique word in the sequence of numbers.
