Ordinal Numbers

What are the Ordinal Numbers?

Ordinal Numbers are those numerals which are used in identifying the position of objects or persons. They are also called as positioning numbers. If there is a specified list of persons or objects, then the position of each object or person can be determined by using ordinal numbers. The ordinal numbers can be written using numerals as prefix and adjectives as a suffix, for example, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and so on.
