  • To form ordinal numbers, we add th to the number. The exceptions are: one/first, two/second and three/third.                                                                                                   

             To form the ordinal number eighth we only add h, not th to eight. And to form the      

              ordinal number twelfth, we drop the ending ve from twelve and add fth: twelfth.

  • We can use ordinal numbers to talk about the order in which things happen, eg
