【重点释疑】表示顺序的数词叫序数词。序数词是由基数词变化而来的。下面的口诀可以帮助我们记住序数词的变化规律:
基变序,有规律,词尾加上th;
一二三,特殊记,词尾是st、nd和rd(one→first; two→second; three→third);
八减t,九去e,ve要用f替(eight→eighth; nine→ninth; five→fifth; twelve→twelfth);
ty将y变ie,词尾再加th(twenty→twentieth; thirty→thirtieth);
若是遇到几十几,前用基来后用序(twenty-one→twenty-first; thirty-two→thirty-second)。
【易错示例】My mother’s birthday is on the ______ of May and my father’s birthday is on the ______ of October.
A. eighth; nineth B. eightth; ninth C. eighth; ninth

4.His mother’s birthday is on the 1st of July.

【重点释疑】序数词的缩写由阿拉伯数字加其序数词的最后两个字母组成,需要特别注意first→1st,second→2nd,third→3rd以及其他末尾有这几个单词的序数词的缩写。其他序数词的缩写都是由对应阿拉伯数字加th组成,如fourth→4th,fifth→5th。
