Not properly spelling “eighteen”.
 

 Students sometimes mistakenly spell "eighteen" as "eightteen" or "eighten." The correct spelling is eighteen. To avoid this mistake, students should practice both the pronunciation and the spelling of the word regularly.
 

 Reversing the order of numbers.
 

 While writing the number in words, students may reverse the order of digits by writing the ones place at first. This mistake can be avoided by understanding the place values that start from right first like ones, tens, hundreds, Thousands. We should always write ones first
 

Getting confused with “eighty” and “eighteen”.
 

Some numbers have a similar way of pronunciation and this might create confusion while writing it in words. Teaching students the spelling and pronunciation of both can help them avoid this mistake.
 

Hyphens and spaces being used in the wrong way.
 

Hyphens must be used without spaces while writing numbers in words. For example, Ninety one looks like two different words, therefore hyphens are used to combine words Ninety-one.
 

 Not writing the digits completely in words.
 

Students might skip parts and not write the complete number in words. For example, they may write just "eighteen" and forget to write "thousand" or "hundred," making it "eighteen" instead of “eighteen thousand five hundred.” To avoid this mistake, make sure you read the number out loud and include every part of it.
