CARDINAL AND ORDINAL
There are two sets different sets of numbers

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.
We use ordinal numbers for dates.

Example:

-The 12th of February

-The twelfth of February

- February the twelfth


DATES
What is the date?
Think of famous dates and ask your classmates
When is your birthday?

LEARNING TIP
Prepositions of time: In - On

We use IN to talk about


“big” periods of time, years,
months and weeks.
Messi was born in 1987.

We use ON to talk about


“small” periods of time, the
weekend, days of the week
or a specific date.
My birthday is on 3rd
February.
