Explanation
Eleven is the number that comes after ten and before twelve. It is written as 11. In daily life, we use eleven when talking about time (eleven o’clock), age (she is eleven years old), or counting things (eleven apples). In sports, teams like football usually have eleven players. For example, if you have ten pencils and buy one more, you have eleven.
