"Tom is FIRST, Sally is SECOND and Mary is THIRD". Podríamos decir esto sobre 3 niños en una cursa. Estos números indican el orden o la posición en una lista. Sigue más abajo la lección.
La abreviatura de los números ordinales se forma con el número en cifra seguido por las últimas dos letras de la palabra completa. Las decenas, millares y el millón se unen con un guión o "and", al igual que los números cardinales.
