  11. OrdinalNumbers

  12. When we place objects in order, we use ordinal numbers to tell their position.  Ordinal numbers are similar to cardinal numbers but they are given an ending: ‘th’ and some of them have changes. Look: four - fourth eleven – eleventh but… one - first two - second three - third five - fifth eight - eighth nine - ninth twelve - twelfth In compound ordinal numbers, note that only the last figure is written as an ordinal number: 421st = four hundred and twenty-first 5,111th = five thousand, one hundred and eleventh

  13. Here you have a table of ordinal numbers:

  14. Dates

  15. In English we express dates in different ways. Thus, we have differences when writing dates. Look: InBritish Englishthedayis usually putbeforethemonth. If you wish, you can add theending of the ordinal number. You can put a comma before the year, but this is not common anymore in British English. Example:5(th) October(,) 2004 In American Englishthemonthis usually putbeforethe day. If you wish, you can put the definite article before the day. It is common to write a comma before the year. Example:October (the) 5(th), 2004 You can also write the date by using numbers only. The most common forms are: Example:5/10/04 or 5-10-04

  16. Now, noticehow we read or say dates: If you put the day before the month, use the definite article before the day and the preposition of before the month. So, if we have the date: 5 October 2004 , we read it like this: the fifth of October, two thousand and four If you put the month before the day, use the definite article before the day in British English. In American English, the definite article can be dropped. So we read October 5, 2004 as October (the) fifth, two thousand and four.

  17. Activity:Write down the following dates in the way you would write them, for example, in a letter. • 6/06/2009 ________________________________ • 24/03/2010 _______________________________ • 4/10/2000 _______________________________ • 12/02/2007 _______________________________ • 21/03/2008 _______________________________ • 16/04/2003 _______________________________
