English numbers
There are more
types of numbers in English: cardinal numbers,
ordinal numbers and nominal numbers. The cardinal numbers are the
English numbers used in counting: one, two, three, etc. Nominal numbers are those
English numbers used to identify things. They include telephone numbers, bank account numbers, zip codes, identification numbers, etc.
What are ordinal numbers?
Ordinal numbers are those that we use in order to tell the order of things:
first second third and so on.
Cardinal vs ordinal numbers
Ordinal numbers are used to express the order of some things or events. You can use them, for example, when speaking about a top of your favorite football players.
