Ordinal Numbers
(4th of 6) |
Ordinal numbers are adjectives and must agree with the noun they describe: la octava semana, el sexto piso, el cuarto día, la primera semana, etc. Notice that primero and tercero drop off the -o when they precede a masculine noun: el primer día, el tercer día. Generally speaking, ordinal numbers above ten are not commonly used in Spanish. You will hear native speakers say instead, el piso (número) veinte, la lección (número) catorce and so forth. |
