"我住在三楼"写成 I live on three floor,老师笑了。三楼是 the third floor,不是 three floor。
基数词:数数用
one、two、three、four……单纯表示数量:
- I have three books.
- There are ten students.
序数词:排位、日期、楼层用
first、second、third、fourth……表示"第几":
- He came first. 他第一。
- I live on the third floor. 我住三楼。
- Today is October first. 今天十月一号。
变化规则
- 一般加 th:four → fourth,six → sixth
- 特殊:one → first,two → second,three → third,five → fifth,nine → ninth
- 整十:twenty → twentieth(y 变 ie 加 th)
- 几十几:只变个位:twenty-one → twenty-first
缩写
- first → 1st,second → 2nd,third → 3rd
- fourth → 4th,twenty-first → 21st
日期写法
- October 1(读作 October the first)
- 月份后面直接写序数词,不用 the 也行,但读出来要带 the。
一句口诀:数量基数排位数,日期楼层序数词;一二三特殊记,th 从四起。
