hi.

二 was used when

1.read in counting,such as二、三、四

2.read as an ordinal numbers such as二月、第二天、二班

3.read before 两 which is used as a measure word such as"二两肉"。

4read before十/百

二十、二百

5read in room numbers、telephone numbers and so on.

1.Used before a measure word such as 两个 两次 两回两本书 两头牛

2.we say二十、二百,but when speak of 千,we should say"两千".So does 两万and even more.

3.Used before metrology measure word such as两米 两斤.

And i found it interested that 二 is usually used as "read" while 两 is used as"used".
