How Do We Use Ordinal Numbers for Dates?
When we talk about dates, we use ordinal numbers, not cardinal numbers. Ordinal numbers tell us the order of things (first, second, third, etc.).
- The first three ordinal numbers are special: first (1st), second (2nd), third (3rd).
- For most other numbers, we add -th. Например, fourth (4th), fifth (5th), sixth (6th).
- When writing dates, we use the number and then the ordinal ending: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th.
- We use the preposition on for specific dates. For example, The party is on the tenth of July.
