Comma Not Used in Canada in Numbers

Hello,

I was confused a couple of times because in the United States, they still use commas to represent spaces in thousands: 19,956.
In Canada, we write, 19 956. Do your lessons take this into consideration?
Thanks in advance.

Bonjour Denise,

That's a very interesting question! To my knowledge, English speaking countries do use the comma with numbers. I guess with regards to Canada, there might be some French influence too.

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
