    UNIT 4

    ORDINAL NUMBERS

    These numbers, we add the endings “-st” as in “first“, “-nd” as in “second“, “-rd” as
    in “third“, and “-th” for numbers that don’t end in 1, 2 or 3, with the exceptions of
    11th (eleventh), 12th (twelfth) and 13th (thirteenth).

    For example:

    Cristina won the 2nd (second) prize.


    I was born on the 29th (twenty-ninth) of November.

    An Ordinal Number tells us the position of something in a list.

    1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and so on.

    Example: In this picture the girl is 2nd:

    And the two pups are 3rd and 4th.

    1. DATES

    With dates we tend to use ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.), although we may
    write only the cardinal form of the number. Also, the number specifying the year is
    normally pronounced as two separate two-figure numbers. In general terms, we do
    as follows:

    Examples:

    – Write: Monday, July 21st, 2015.


    – Say: Monday, July twenty-first, twenty fifteen.

    A Cardinal Number is a number that says how
    many of something there are, such as one,
    two, three, four, five.
    An Ordinal Number is a number that tells
    the position of something in a list, such as
    1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th etc.

    2. Reading decimals

    Read decimals aloud in English by pronouncing the decimal point as "point", then
    read each digit individually. Money is not read this way.

    Written Said

    0.5 point five / oh point five

    0.25 point two five

    0.73 point seven three

    0.05 point zero five

    0.6529 point six five two nine

    2.95 two point nine five

    3. Reading fractions

    Read fractions using the cardinal number for the numerator and the ordinal number
    for the denominator, making the ordinal number plural if the numerator is larger
    than 1. This applies to all numbers except for the number 2, which is read "half"
    when it is the denominator, and "halves" if there is more than one.

    Written Said

    1/3 one third

    3/4 three fourths

    7
    Written Said

    5/6 five sixths

    1/2 one half

    3/2 three halves

    4. Pronouncing percentages

    Percentages are easy to read aloud in English. Just say the number and then add
    the word "percent".

    Written Pronounced

    5% five percent

    25 % twenty-five percent

    36.25 % thirty-six point two five percent

    100 % one hundred percent

    400 % four hundred percent

    5. Pronouncing measurements

    Just read out the number, followed by the unit of measurement, which will often be
    abbreviated in the written form.

    Written Spoken
