Compound numbers from 21 through 99 join the tens word and the ones word with a hyphen. In 4,331, the 31 part combines thirty and one, producing thirty-one.
Hundreds are written by placing a digit word before hundred. In 4,331, the hundreds part is three hundred.
American English usually omits and after hundred when more digits follow. That is why this page writes four thousand three hundred thirty-one without adding and before the final part.
English reads large numbers in three-digit groups. 4,331 reaches the thousand group, so the group four is followed by the scale name thousand.
Scale names stay singular inside exact number names. English writes four thousand without adding a plural s to the scale name.
