Here are some super simple tips for learning ordinal numbers in English

Tips

Basics: Ordinal numbers tell position.

1 – First, 2 – Second, 3 – Third, 4 – Fourth, 5 – Fifth, 6 – Sixth, 7 – Seventh, 8 – Eighth, 9 – Ninth, 10 – Tenth

Pattern: From 4 to 20, just add “-th”.

Fourth (4th), fifth (5th)… twentieth (20th).

Exceptions: Some numbers are different.

One = First (1st). Two = Second (2nd). Three = Third (3rd).
