¿Cuáles son los números ordinales en inglés ?
Los números ordinales se usan para mostrar el orden de cosas o personas.
Para la mayoría de los números ordinales se les añade 'th' a su equivalente numero cardinal.
4: Four. 4th: Fourth
7: Seven. 7th: Seventh
11: Eleven. 11th: Eleventh
Los números que terminan con '-ve', se cambia la '-ve' por '-f' antes de añadir la 'th.
5: Five 5th: Fifth
12: Twelve. 12th: Twelfth
Los números que contienen las palabras 'one', 'two' y 'three' en sus números cardinales acaban con '1st/first', '2nd/second' y '3rd/third'.
1: One. 1st:First
2: Two. 2nd:Second
3: Three. 3rd: Third
21: twenty-one. 21st: Twenty-first
32: thirty-two. 32nd: Thirty-second
Los números 11 'eleven', 12 'twelve' y 13 'thirteen' no siguen esta regla porque no contienen 'one', 'two' o 'three' en sus números respectivos cardinales.
Los números decimales (terminando en 0) se cambia la ultima 'y' para 'ie' antes de añadir el 'th'.
20: twenty. 20th: twentieth
50: fifty. 50th: fiftieth
Las fechas se suelen decir usando números ordinales.

Ordinal Numbers in English
Used to give order to situations, objects or people.
Their abbreviations correspond to the last two letters of the complete word:
1st = First / First
2nd = Second / Second
3rd = Third / Third
10th = Tenth / Tenth
Next, we will present a short list with some ordinal numbers for you to take into account and memorize:
Numbers from 1 to 20
With the exception of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 12th numbers, the rest keep their original form of writing, but at the end the abbreviation "-th" is added. In the case of 20 (twenty), the "y" is replaced by the vowel combination "ie" and "-th" is added.
1st = First | 11th = Eleventh |
Numbers from 21 to 99
In these numbers the last digit (the one that completes the figure), is the one that takes the form of an ordinal number.
The numbers twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, the "y" is replaced by the letter combination "ie" and "-th" is added.
21st = Twenty first | 40th = Fortieth |
Numbers from 100
The same rules apply for these numbers. Maintaining the same rule given with cardinal numbers, compound figures such as thousands and tens are joined using the article "and" or a comma.
100th = One Hundredth
101st = One hundred and first
200th = Two hundredth
1,000th = One Thousandth
10,000th = Ten thousandth
100,000th = One hundred thousandth
1,000,000th = Millionth
10,000,000th = Ten millionth
We use ordinal numbers with some frequency so it is ideal to learn them.
We generally use ordinal numbers when making lists of things or narrating a series of events, they give us the idea of what goes first, second, third, etc.
