序数词的构成

①序数词多数由"基数词-th"构成,序数词前一般加定冠词the

②少数序数词构成属特殊情况

e.g.One-firsttwo-secondthree-thirdfive-fiftheight-eighthnine-ninthtwelve-twelfth

③以y结尾的十位整数,先将y改为i,再加-ethe.g.thirty-thirtieth

④21以上的多位数,要将末位数改为序数词,前面其他位数仍用基数词

e.g.eighty-three-eighty-thirdninehundredandsixty-two-ninehundredandsixty-second

⑤序数词的缩写形式由阿拉伯数字加序数词的后两个字母构成

e.g.first-1stsecond-2nd
