(number)st/(number)nd/(number)rd/(number)th

When you're counting the order of things, we use counters:

  • 1st (first)
  • 2nd (second)
  • 3rd (third)
  • 4th (fourth)
  • 5th (fifth)
  • 6th (sixth)
  • 7th (seventh)
  • 8th (eighth)
  • 9th (ninth)
  • 10th (tenth)
  • 11th (eleventh)
  • 12th (twelfth)
  • 13th (thirteenth)

For any numbers after 13, we use the counter that goes with the last digit:

  • 23rd (twenty-third)
  • 92nd (nintety-second)
