    Grammar

    Using Ordinal numbers

    Ordinal numbers all use a suffix. The suffixes are: -nd, -rd, -st, or -
    th. Examples: ‘second’ (2nd), ‘third’ (3rd), ‘first’ (1st), and ‘tenth’ (10th). We
    use ordinal numbers for dates and the order of something (think ordinal
    = order).

    Example 1:

    ‘January 15, 2013’. If we were to say this date it would be: ‘January
    fifteenth, twenty-thirteen’.

    Example 2:

    ‘List of students: John, Mary, Henry, Ron, Sally, Jeff, and Robert.’

    Where is Henry in line? Henry is third in line.

    Who is fifth in line? Sally is fifth in line.

    Other questions related to dates

    What’s the date today? Today is Wednesday November third.

    When’s your birthday? My birthday is on April first.
