序数词的构成

1. 一般来说,是由相应的基数词加词尾th构成.例： four ＋ th → fourth /six ＋ th → sixth/seven ＋ th → seventh / ten ＋ th → tenth

2.下面这些基数词在变为序数词时,有特殊的变化.例：one → first ◇ two → second ◇ three → third/ five → fifth /eight → eighth / nine→ ninth/ twelve → twelfth

3.十位整数序数词的构成方法是将基数词的词y变成i,然后再加eth.例： twenty → twentieth /thirty → thirtieth/ forty → fortieth ◇ ninety → ninetieth

4.两位或两位以上的基数词变成序数词时,仅将个位数变成序数词.例： twenty－one → twenty－first/ thirty－five → thirty－fifth/a hundred andfifty－three → a hundred and fifty－third

序数词的用法

1. 序数词在使用时,一般加上定冠词.例：the firstbook / the second floor

2.序数词的前面可以加上不定冠词,用来表示“再一”,“又一”的意思.例： You may have a third try．你可以第三次尝试.
