Ordinal Numbers in English

Mô tả sản phẩm

Ordinal numbers in English indicate the position or order of something in a sequence. They tell us which one, like first, second, third, and so on.

Understanding Ordinal Numbers

Basic Ordinal Numbers:

1. First (1st)
2. Second (2nd)
3. Third (3rd)
4. Fourth (4th)
5. Fifth (5th)
6. Sixth (6th)
7. Seventh (7th)
8. Eighth (8th)
9. Ninth (9th)
10. Tenth (10th)
The pattern continues with -th added to most numbers (e.g., eleventh, twelfth, twentieth, thirtieth).

Irregular Ordinal Numbers:

These are exceptions to the general rule: 1. First (1st)
2. Second (2nd)
3. Third (3rd)

Using Ordinal Numbers in Sentences:

Ordinal numbers are frequently used in various contexts, such as dates (e.g., the first of January), rankings (e.g., she came in second place), and addresses (e.g., 10th street). Correct usage is crucial for clear communication. For example, "I live on the 10th street" is incorrect; it should be "I live on Tenth Street" or "I live on 10th Street".

Numbers Above Twenty:

For larger ordinal numbers, simply combine the tens and ones place ordinal numbers: Twenty-first (21st), Twenty-second (22nd), Thirty-first (31st), and so on. Note that the hyphen is used to connect the tens place and ones place ordinal numbers.

Using Ordinal Numbers with Abbreviations:

It's common to abbreviate ordinal numbers using superscript numbers: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. However, when writing formally, it's often preferred to use the full words (first, second, third, etc.).
