This Spanish Difficult Review quiz will take a look at the usage of punctuation marks with numbers as they appear in Spanish. In English, when we get to higher numbers, beginning in the thousands, we place a comma after the thousands and after the millions and after the billions and so on. In Spanish the comma is not used. Rather, a period is used.
Let’s look at an example. In English we would write the following number as: 2,431. In Spanish that number would be written as: 2.431. The period is not the same thing as the English decimal point so do not confuse this with the number.
