Cardinal numbers
Cardinal numbers are numbers used to directly refer to a quantity of something and ones we use on a daily basis in our speech when talking about the exact quantity of something.

- 32.98% - Thirty-two point ninety-eight percent
What are ordinal numbers?
Ordinal numbers are used to show us how something or someone is ranked on a list and what their exact position is. They are only used to refer to a position but not a quantity which is what we use cardinal numbers for. Majority of the ordinal numbers follow the same structure with the exception from the written version of 1 to 4 as we can see from the table below.
Ordinal numbers chart
| Ordinal number | Written form |
|---|---|
| 1st | First |
| 2nd | Second |
| 3rd | Third |
| 4th | Fourth |
| 5th | Fifth |
| 6th | Sixth |
| 7th | Seventh |

Ordinal numbers examples
- She was my first girlfriend.
- This is my second attempt.
- We completed the third assignment.
- My final position was thirty-fourth.
- It is my sixty-eighth anniversary.
Ordinal numbers grammar
Ordinal numbers and their written form are rather specific thus it is important to pay attention to ensure the correct form is written.
1. The most special cases are the first three numbers:
| First | Twenty-first | Fifty-first | Two hundred and first |
| Second | Twenty-second | Sixty-second | Three hundred and second |
| Thid | Twenty-third | Sixty-third | Four hundred and twenty-third |
As we can see from the table the form for first, second, and third remains a constant regardless of where it is used in a positional manner.
2. The case of 11, 12, 13: While the ending number of them is the same as the one we discussed in the first example they are exception to the rule and always needs to be written in one specific way.
- Eleventh
- Twelfth
- Thirteenth
Cardinal and ordinal numbers
The main diffrence between the two is that cardinal numbers directly refer to a quantity whereas ordinal numbers only refer to a position but not quantity.
However, the two work hand in hand as excluding the exception all of the other ordinal numbers are formed by adding the suffix -th to the cardinal number.
Example:
| Cardinal number | Ordinal number |
|---|---|
| Seven | Seventh |
| Nine | Ninth |
| Twenty-four | Twenty-fourth |
| Thirty-five | Thirty-fifth |

I've been living and working as a Turkish teacher in London for 5 years. I studied Turkish language and literature. I graduated from Kocaeli University in 2009. I have pedagogical proficiency and a Teaching Turkish for Foreigners certificate from Istanbul University.
I have experience at high schools and secondary schools in İstanbul/Turkey for 5 years.
All the collateral will be provided by me. I will give you homework after every lesson and we will check it together.
I use a theory book and an excercise book for my lessons, versions vary according to your level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1). They're all published by Istanbul University and are called `Turkish For Foreigners`
I also use powerpoint presentations during my lessons. It makes it easier to understand the grammar rules.
My lessons are about grammar, listening, speaking and writing.
Lessons are interactive and fun as I believe a playful approach to learning a new language helps retaining information. Games and other devices such as cards will be be used during the lessons.
For more information please do not hesitate to ask me any questions. Thank you very much. Have a great day! :)

Samet T.
I am a BA in Education graduate, with vast experience in primary, secondary and higher education levels, as well as in other activities related to education. I believe I have a diverse background which makes me a very adaptable teacher and with a lot to offer.
Most of my experience is in high school ,in adult education and university students. I have been able to develop a good relationship with my students, which has translated to better communication and an altogether more rounded experience for them and myself. My lesson planning has always aimed to reflect my students’ needs and interest applied into useful communicative language structures that they can actually use in their lives.
In my last years as a teacher, I have focused on preparing test-takers for the TOEFL. It has been a completely different experience from what I have had before, but I have helped my students accomplish the desired scores in the proposed time.
I believe in making the learning of a new language something exciting and not frightening at all, but challenging and gratifying instead. My material is dynamic and keeps my students engaged and continuesly developing their communiation skills.
I am flexible with my students' time and shcedule; naturally, it is open for deliberation if needed. I look forward to helping you get to the desired goals you set foryourself!

Daniel is great!He was very kind in every lesson, and patient in explaining things to me that I did not understand. very easy to understand !! I definitely want to continue taking classes with him!

My name is Yora Atanasova. I have been a tutor of English and Bulgarian online since 2013, in-person in non-formal language schools, and then solo online.
I have also worked as a staff training and qualification expert within the Bulgarian career guidance system in education. For a decade, I have been an independent EU expert in the fields of vocational training and guidance and non-formal education mainly.
Writing short stories and blogging is my hobby. Currently, eco skills have also become of prior importance to me; as I have moved to live in symbiosis (commensalism) with nature.
MY EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND
First of my Master's degrees is in Pedagogy, the second one is in Cultural and Historical Heritage.
I have obtained an IELTS certificate, band 7.5,, and also a 50-hour TESOL certificate through a MOOC .
METHODS
Facilitating natural learning through creative solo activity and in-group interaction and communication, with some flavor of art.
Methods used are largely based on Suggestopedia and "democratic education" under the school models of Sudbury Valley (USA) and Summerhill (UK), plus ICT.
This creative language learning in small groups through reading/writing and communication includes:
- TWO GROUP EVENTS a week: a webinar and a presentation event;
- DAILY TASKS between the group events: SOLO ones - on individual creative projects, and peer project reviews IN MICRO GROUPS of 3÷4 people.
There is much solo work of creative character to be done and enjoyed, as well as feedback e-forms to be filled in.
The two group activities take place on:
✓ Monday and Wednesday;
or
✓ Tuesday and Thursday.
The weekly project produce can be:
- A written text, original or translation;
- An audio story / video with the text display;
- A combination of both.
THIS FORMAT WILL SUIT:
✓ Creative people;,
✓ Active freedom lovers, who'd rather co-build their course;
✓ Those who like learning like in a hobby club.

I am an English teacher from Liverpool in England. I have been teaching around the world in countries that include Indonesia, Malaysia, Belgium, Taiwan and Spain.
I now teach English and Geography in a secondary school in Liverpool but retain my passion for teaching EFL by doing online lessons. I am a lively, dynamic and well organised teacher, and I like to provide stimulating lessons where communication is the main goal.
I want to target my lessons so they give you, the student, exactly what you are looking for. My experience means I can give classes in conversation, all levels of English, academic or exam classes or Business English. I have learnt several languages myself and I have found that speaking is the best way to learn, so I employ the communicative method in teaching, but set homework assignments and give written feedback outside the lessons.
Book a free trial lesson and we can have a chat, find out about you and what your goals are in learning English. Hope to see you soon!
