inglés: Henry the Eighth/ español: Enrique octavo OBJECTIVE: TLW Distinguish between Ordinal and Cardinal Numbers in order to use them correctly in the target language. TLW also tell their current grade, favorite class period, and the order of nouns. pág. 1/4 Ordinal Numbers Ordinal numbers are numbers that tell the order that nouns appear (first, second, etc.) Ordinal numbers are ADJECTIVES, therefore, they must agree in gender and number with the modified noun. Each ordinal number will have 4 forms: masculine sing., masc. pl., feminine sing., fem. pl. Primero and tercero drop the –o in the masculine sing. form. Ordinal numbers usually come in front of the noun, however, when they are modifying royalty, a street’s name, or a religious figure, they come after the modified noun. See the example below. Ejemplo: inglés: Henry the Eighth/ español: Enrique octavo Cardinal Numbers Cardinal numbers are numbers that tell how many of an item there is. Cardinal numbers are ADJECTIVES, however, they do not have to agree in gender and number with the modified noun EXCEPT for ‘uno’ and ‘ciento’. ‘Uno’ changes to ‘Un’ in front of a masc. sing. noun, ‘Ciento’ changes to ‘cientos’ in front of a m.p. noun, ‘cientas’ in front of a f.p. noun.
