Look at the picture and write the correct numbers

Open to revise the rule We use ordinal numbers to order different things, people, events, etc. It means that the event/person/thing takes a specific place.

Example: Prince William is the second in line to the British throne.

Formation

Put article "the" before ordinal numbers.

For numbers 1–10 add -th:

  • six — the sixth;
  • eleven — the eleventh.

Mind the exceptions:

  • one — the first;
  • two — the second;
  • three — the third;
  • five — the fifth;
  • eight — the eighth;
  • nine — the ninth;
  • twelve — the twelfth.

If the ordinal number is compound (for example, 26, 44 and others), you need to changethe second number only:

  • twenty-six — the twenty-sixth;
  • forty-four — the forty-fourth.
  1. Jasmine: I should be [ ]
    in line. I'm shorter than Charlie, but I'm taller than everyone else.
  2. Charlie: I'm the tallest in my class, so I should stand on [ ]
    place.
  3. Ann: I can't stand here because I'm not taller than Charlie and Jasmine. I'm [ ]
    in line.
  4. Ben: I'm the shortest in my class, so I'm usually on [ ]
    place in the line.
  5. Claire: I'm very short, too. But I'm a bit taller than Ben. I should be [ ].
