Simply use the Arabic numbers when writing a number. In regards to declension, only the numbers 1, 2, and 3 decline with the noun. The others do not decline except when acting as a noun themselves (mid 4 manna, but mid fēowerumfēoƿerum).

*Numbers 4 - 12 simply precede the noun, just like modern English (fēowerfēoƿer þegnas, seofon mōnþas).

*Decades (20, 30,...90) take a noun in the genitive, or in agreement (fīftig manna, on fēowertigumfēoƿertigum gēarum).

:#Wē Ƿē tȳdon þā leorneras (plural, 1st person)

#Þonne is ān port on sūðeweardumsūðeƿeardum þǣm lande, þone man hǣteþ Sciringes heal - ''Then is one port in the south of that country, which is called Skringssalr.'' (þone is a relative pronoun, referring to "se port", and taking the accusative case, which is the correct case in the clause).

# þæt þu onfō his gelēafan and his bebodu healde, '''sē þe''' þē fram wilwendlicumƿilƿendlicum earfeðum generede - ''that thou may receive the trust of the one who has saved thee from earthly hardships, and obey his commands.''

*The verbs forbeodan ''forbid'', forberan ''refrain from'', geswīcangesƿīcan ''stop'', wiþcweðanƿiþcƿeðan ''deny, refuse'', and several others, take a þæt-clause as objects.

*Also, verbs like twēonantƿēonan ''doubt'', twēotƿēo bēon ''to be in doubt''

#...forþon nis nān twēotƿēo, þæt hē forgifnesse sellan nelle, þǣm þe hīe geearnian willaþƿillaþ - ''...therefore there is no doubt that he will give forgiveness to those who want to earn it.'' (literally, "therefore is not no doubt that he will not give forgiveness, to them that want to earn it").

*HwætHƿæt, hwāhƿā, hwǣrhƿǣr, hwilchƿilc, hū, hū fela, etc.

#HwāHƿā eart þu? ''Who are you?''

*Using hwæðerhƿæðer-subject-verb is used to express doubt or incredulity, or even when expecting the answer 'no.' The verb is most often in the subjunctive, but may be indicative with impersonal verbs.

#Example: hwæðerhƿæðer gē nū sēcen gold of trēowumtrēoƿum? (Surely you aren't looking for gold in trees?, Are you looking for gold in trees?, literally, "whether ye may seek gold in trees?").

#Example: hwæðerhƿæðer Rōmāne hit witenƿiten nū ænigum menn tō secgenne, hwæthƿæt hiera folces forwurdeforƿurde? (Do the Romans now know enough to say how many of their people perished?, Surely the Romans know enough now to say how many of their people perished?)
