說明:
1)英語序數(shù)詞1-19除第一(first),第二(second),第三(third)有特殊形式外,其余均由基數(shù)詞后加-th [W]構(gòu)成。
2)有幾個(gè)序數(shù)詞加 -th 時(shí)拼法不規(guī)則,它們是:fifth,eighth,ninth,twelfth。
3)十位整數(shù)的序數(shù)詞的構(gòu)成方法是:先將十位整數(shù)基數(shù)詞的詞尾 -ty 中的y變成i,然后加-eth [iW]。
4)基數(shù)詞"幾十幾"變成序數(shù)詞時(shí),僅將個(gè)位數(shù)變成序數(shù)詞,十位數(shù)不變。如twenty-one變成twenty-first。
5)序數(shù)詞的縮寫形式,由阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)碼后加上序數(shù)詞的最后兩個(gè)字母構(gòu)成。如:1st,2nd,3rd,4th,31st,82nd,93rd,94th等。
