Ordinal Numbers
Ordnungszahlen (1., 2., etc.) werden verwendet um eine Reihenfolge zu bezeichnen (Achtung: Diese werden nicht wie im Deutschen mit einem Punkt geschrieben):
| 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 |
| 14th | fourteenth |
| 15th | fifteenth |
| 16th | sixteenth |
| 17th | seventeenth |
| 18th | eighteenth |
| 19th | nineteenth |
| 20th | twentieth |
| 31st | thirty-first |
| 100th | one hundredth |
| 511th | five hundred and eleventh |
Achtung: Beim Schreiben von Ordnungszahlen werden die beiden letzten Buchstaben des ausgeschriebenen Wortes hinzugefügt.
first → 1st
second → 2nd
tenth → 10th
second → 2nd
tenth → 10th
Wann werden Ordnungszahlen eingesetzt?
Man findet diese gewöhnlich beim Datum, wie zum Beispiel:
Man findet diese gewöhnlich beim Datum, wie zum Beispiel:
| 10th April, 2008 | the tenth of April, two thousand and eight (UK) | |
| or April (the) tenth, two thousand and eight | ||
| April 10, 2008 | April ten(th), two thousand eight (US) |
Außerdem werden Ordnungszahlen bei der Bezeichnung von Königen, Königinnen, Päpsten und anderen längst verstorbenen Personen verwendet:
Charles I (1600-1649)
You: Did you know that Charles the First lived in the seventeenth century?
Friend: Really? You're so clever! The 21st century is a lot more interesting with you in it.
You: Did you know that Charles the First lived in the seventeenth century?
Friend: Really? You're so clever! The 21st century is a lot more interesting with you in it.
Übung 1
Icarus mentions some dates in this dialogue... To practice writing dates, fill in the blanks in the following text. Only 2 letters necessary per blank!
Example: Horatio was born on December 31st.
Horatio is unhappy because "the nose" of Kalvin Krime has a bigger laboratory than him on the 23 floor of a skyscraper made from glass.
However, he shouldn't complain - the last time the windows were cleaned was February 7, 1980!
On July 21, 1983, Horatio represented the Amazonian rain forest in the Miss World beauty pageant.
The jury must have found him pretty because, amazingly, he came in 2 place!

1 rd: "3rd" is the ordinal contraction of "third". Notice how the final two letters (third) are used in the abbreviated form, rd. All ordinal numbers ending with 3 are contracted in this way. For example: 3rd (third), 23rd (twenty-third) and 803rd (eight hundred and third). The only exceptions are numbers with 1 in the tens column (13, 213, 1013) that are terminated by a "th", for example: 113th (one hundred and thirteenth).
2 th: Whenever a number terminates with a 4,5,6,7,8 or 9, its ordinal contraction always finishes with "th". For example: 7th (seventh), 27th (twenty-seventh), 597th (five hundred and ninety-seventh) etc. Also, all numbers with 1 in the tens column (17, 217) terminate with a "th", for example: 11th (eleventh), 12th (twelfth) and 113th (one hundred and thirteenth).
3 st: "1st" is the ordinal contraction of "first". Notice how the final two letters (first) are used in the abbreviated form, st. All ordinal numbers ending with 1 are contracted in this way. For example, 1st (first), 21st (twenty-first) and 331st (three hundred thirty-first). The only exceptions are numbers with 1 in the tens column (11, 211,1011) that are terminated by a "th", for example: 11th (eleventh), 12th (twelfth), 113th (one hundred and thirteenth) etc.
4 nd: "2nd" is the ordinal contraction of "second". Notice how the final two letters (second) are used in the abbreviated form, nd. All ordinal numbers ending with 2 are contracted in this way. For example, 2nd (second), 22nd (twenty-second), 552nd (five hundred and fifty-second) etc. The only exceptions are numbers with 1 in the tens column (12, 212,1012) these are terminated by a "th", for example: 12th (twelfth), 112th (one hundred and twelfth) etc.

1 JEAN: "Jean" is the appropriate first name to enter here. Sometimes this part of a person's name is referred to as their "Christian name". Example: "I don't tell strangers my first name".
1 MARRON: This is Jean's "last name" or "surname". This is not the part of the form where he should enter this part of his name.
1 JEAN MARRON: The form does not ask for Jean's "full name" here.
1 MR: "Mr" (pronounced "mister") is Jean's "title", and this is not the part of the form where he should enter this part of his name.
2 MARRON: "Marron" is the appropriate part of Jean's name to enter here. This is his "last name" or "surname". Example: "I changed my surname when I was 18 because I hated people laughing at me".
2 JEAN: This is Jean's "first name" or "Christian name". This is not the part of the form where he should enter this part of his name.
2 JEAN MARRON: The form does not ask for Jean's "full name" here.
2 MR: "Mr" (pronounced "mister") is Jean's "title", and this is not the part of the form where he should enter this part of his name.
3 Address: "Address" is the best term to describe the details which Jean has entered here. This is the place where he lives. Example: "Please give me your address so I can come to visit you every day for the rest of your life".
3 Living: "Living" is part of the verb "to live". It does not make sense to use a verb here.
3 House: Forms very rarely ask about your "house", which refers to the structure itself. This term does not make sense here.
3 Area code: An "area code" is the series of numbers present in a telephone number which indicates the country or region in which the phone is located. This does not make sense here.
4 Personal email address: This is Jean's "personal email address". This is the electronic address which he uses to communicate with his friends, family, and for other private matters. Example: "This isn't something I usually do, but let me give you my personal email address".
4 Professional email address: Jean's professional email address is the one he uses for work: jean@delavignecorp.com. The address on the form is much to informal to be a "professional" or "work" address.
4 Telephone: This is not a telephone number: it is an email address.
4 Website: This is not a website: it is an email address.
5 3654: This is the best choice here to answer the question of what Jean's "apartment building door code" is. This is the security code which has to be entered in order to gain access to a building.
5 SECOND FLOOR: The "second floor" describes the level or floor on which an apartment is situated. This is not what Jean should enter here.
5 LEFT: "Left" is the opposite of "right". This is not what Jean should enter here.
5 jean_the_frenchie_1976@woohoo.com: This is Jean's email address. It is not what Jean should enter here.
6 3RD: 3rd' is the ordinal contraction of "third". Notice how the final two letters (third) are used in the abbreviated form, "rd". All ordinal numbers ending with 3 are contracted in this way. For example: 3rd (third), 23rd (twenty-third) and 803rd (eight hundred and third). The only exceptions are numbers with 1 in the tens column (13, 213, 1013) that are terminated by a "th", for example: 113th (one hundred and thirteenth).
6 3ST: This is incorrect. Ordinal abbreviations of numbers ending in 3 are never finish with "st".
6 3TH: This is incorrect. Numbers that end in a 3 are only abbreviated with "th" when they have a 1 in the tens column, like 13th (thirteenth) or 113th (one hundred and thirteenth). This is not the case here.
6 3ND: This is incorrect. Ordinal abbreviations ending in 3 never terminate with "nd".
7 MORNINGS: "Mornings" is the answer which makes most sense here. Jean is saying that it would be convenient for an engineer to visit his apartment one morning in order to set up his internet connection.
7 jean_the_frenchie_1976@woohoo.com: This is Jean's email address. It is not what Jean should enter here.
7 APARTMENT B, 21 SUTRO HEIGHTS AVENUE, SAN FRANCISCO CA 94121: This is Jean's home address. It is not what Jean should enter here.
7 WIFI: "Wifi" refers to wireless internet connections. It does not make sense here.

Now help Icarus write a "post-it" note for Brian!

He will be in SF on .
Wants to meet and with you.
Call him on his .
05/12 - 2:56pm Charlie phoned for you.
He will be in SF on .

Call him on his .
Now help Icarus write a "post-it" note for Brian!
05/12 - 2:56pm Charlie phoned for you.
He will be in SF on Monday the 17th 1.
Wants to meet and talk about the past 2 with you.
Call him on his cell phone 3.
05/12 - 2:56pm Charlie phoned for you.
He will be in SF on Monday the 17th 1.
Wants to meet and talk about the past 2 with you.
Call him on his cell phone 3.
1 Monday the 17th: This is the right choice. Charlie says he is available on "Monday the 17th". Icarus correctly notes this date on his "post-it" note. Icarus could have also written "Monday 17 (November)" or "Monday 17th (November)".
1 Monday the 7th: Right day but wrong date, I'm afraid! Be careful to listen out for the "teenth" after the seven!
1 Tuesday the 17th: Right date but wrong day, I'm afraid!
1 Monday the 19th: Right day but wrong date, I'm afraid!
2 talk about the past: This is correct. Charlie says that he wants to meet up with Brian and talk about "old times". This means Charlie wants to remember and discuss shared experiences in a nostalgic way. We often call this "reminiscing". For example: "Charlie and Brian reminisced about the good times they spent together as hostages in the middle east".
2 talk about business: This is incorrect. The expression "to talk about old times" is unrelated to business. It is extremely unlikely that "discussing old times" has any business connotation whatsoever. In fact Charlie refers to Brian with an informal "nickname" (Jonesy) which suggests that the intended meeting is of a personal nature.
2 talk about a specific incident: This is incorrect. "Talking about old times" indicates no specific topic of conversation. The expression describes a general discussion of common past experiences.
2 talk about phones: This is incorrect. Charlie and Icarus spend a lot of time talking about phone numbers, however the expression "to talk about old times" is unrelated to a discussion about telephones.
3 cell phone: This is the best choice. Charlie says "it's probably best if (Brian) reaches me on my mobile". "To reach" has a few meanings, but here the term refers to "contacting someone by telephone". Note that in the UK we say "mobile phone", while in American English the term "cell phone" is used. Both terms are understood by English speakers.
3 land line: This is not the best choice. A "land line" telephone is a "main line" or "fixed-line" telephone that stays in one place. This term is usually used to describe the telephone that people have in their house or home.
3 internet phone: This is not the best choice. Although it is now possible to telephone "over the internet" using voice over IP technology (such as Skype), a "mobile phone" refers simply to a portable or cellular telephone.
3 speaker phone: This is not the best choice. A "speaker phone" is not really a type of phone but rather an option on a phone that allows you to communicate "hands-free" at a certain distance from the receiver. It is often used if several people need to talk during a phone call (and also for humiliating shy people!).

1 hotel: This is the right answer. In his message, Bruno says "I need you to book a hotel room for my trip to Beijing". A "hotel room" is a bedroom in a hotel. Famous hotels include the Hilton and the Ritz!
1 hostel: Oops! A "hostel" is a cheap option, where you often stay in a room with other people you don't know. Hostels are very popular among travelling students, but this isn't what Bruno asks for in his message.
1 bed and breakfast: Oops! A "bed and breakfast" (or "B & B" for short) is a small private establishment where hosts offer bedrooms and a breakfast to guests who pay a small fee. This isn't what Bruno asks for in his message.
2 China: "China" is the right answer here. Beijing is the capital city of China. You might like to know that this huge city used to be called "Peking" in English, but "Beijing" is a more accurate modern transliteration. In his message, Bruno asks Polly to "book a hotel room for (his) trip to Beijing".
2 USA: Sorry, but Beijing is not in the USA. Perhaps you were thinking of Boston!
2 Japan: Sorry, but Beijing is not in Japan. Perhaps you were thinking of Beppu!
2 England: Sorry, but Beijing is not in England. Perhaps you were thinking of Birmingham!
3 1: This is correct. Bruno asks for "a hotel room", meaning that he just needs one bedroom. He is probably travelling alone.
3 2: No, Polly should not book two rooms for Bruno.
3 3: No, Polly should not book three rooms for Bruno.
3 4: No, Polly should not book four rooms for Bruno.
3 5: No, Polly should not book five rooms for Bruno.
4 July: This is the right answer. Bruno says "I'll need it (the hotel room) for three nights: July 3rd, 4th and 5th". He is therefore visiting Beijing in July. July is a great month for holidays!
4 January: No, Bruno does not mention January in his message.
4 February: No, Bruno does not mention February in his message.
4 March: No, Bruno does not mention March in his message.
4 April: No, Bruno does not mention April in his message.
4 May: No, Bruno does not mention May in his message.
4 June: No, Bruno does not mention June in his message.
4 August: No, Bruno does not mention August in his message.
4 September: No, Bruno does not mention September in his message.
4 October: No, Bruno does not mention October in his message.
4 November: No, Bruno does not mention November in his message.
4 December: No, Bruno does not mention December in his message.
5 July: "July" is the right answer. Bruno tells Polly "I'll need it (the hotel room) for three nights: July 3rd, 4th and 5th. I'm coming back to San Francisco on July 6th". This means that he is visiting Beijing in July.
5 January: No, Bruno does not mention January in his message.
5 February: No, Bruno does not mention February in his message.
5 March: No, Bruno does not mention March in his message.
5 April: No, Bruno does not mention April in his message.
5 May: No, Bruno does not mention May in his message.
5 June: No, Bruno does not mention June in his message.
5 August: No, Bruno does not mention August in his message.
5 September: No, Bruno does not mention September in his message.
5 October: No, Bruno does not mention October in his message.
5 November: No, Bruno does not mention November in his message.
5 December: No, Bruno does not mention December in his message.
6 6th: This is the right answer. Bruno says "I'll need it for three nights: July 3rd, 4th and 5th. I'm coming back to San Francisco on July 6th". He is therefore visiting Beijing in July. July is a great month for holidays!
6 6rd: Oops! This isn't how we write "sixth". This "rd" abbreviation is only used for "third": "3rd".
6 6nd: Oops! This isn't how we write "sixth". This "nd" abbreviation is only used for "second": "2rd".
7 4 stars: This is the best choice here. In his answer phone message, Bruno says "it has to be a four-star hotel". A four-star hotel is a top class hotel with quality fixtures and fittings, professional staff, and a good restaurant. Only the best for Bruno Delavigne!
7 3 stars: Sorry, but a three-star hotel isn't good enough for Bruno!
7 2 stars: Sorry, but a two-star hotel isn't good enough for Bruno!
7 1 star: Sorry, but a one-star hotel isn't good enough for Bruno!
7 any: Sorry, but "just any" hotel isn't good enough for Bruno!
8 yes: Polly should select "yes" here, because Bruno says "I want breakfasts included" in his message. "Breakfast" is the first meal of the day, where we eat things such as cereal, toast, and perhaps sausages and pancakes!
8 no: Oops! Bruno says that he DOES want breakfasts, so this isn't the right choice here.
Übung 5
Jean says I am born in... ninety... seventeen... eight. This isn't correct English!
Jean should really have said: I born in .
Jean should really have said: I born in .
Jean says I am born in... ninety... seventeen... eight. This isn't correct English!
Jean should really have said: I was 1 born in nineteen seventy-eight 2.
Jean should really have said: I was 1 born in nineteen seventy-eight 2.
1 was: "Was" is the correct answer here. We use the construction "I was born in 1922" to explain the year of our birth. To give the precise date, we say "I was born on June 11th, 1922". To give the place of our birth, we say "I was born in London".
1 am: This is grammatically incorrect. We do not use the present tense of the verb "to be" when talking about our birth.
1 were: This is grammatically incorrect. We say "they were born in 1962" and "we were born in the 1950s", but for the first person singular, we need "was", not "were".
1 is: This is grammatically incorrect. We do not use the present tense of the verb "to be" when talking about our birth. Moreover, the first person present tense of the verb "to be" is not "is"!
2 nineteen seventy-eight: This is the correct answer. The year Jean is trying to say is "nineteen seventy-eight". In English, years can be pronounced a few ways: by saying the first two digits (19 = "nineteen") and then the second two (78 = "seventy-eight"). More examples: 1642 = "sixteen forty-two", 1820 = "eighteen twenty". Since the year two thousand, we have been saying the whole number: 2008 = "two thousand and eight", etc, and sometimes breaking the year down in two distinct numbers: "twenty twelve" (2012), "twenty fifteen" (2015).
2 ninety seventy-eighth: This is grammatically incorrect, and could not be used to describe a year.
2 nineteen seventeen-eight: This is grammatically incorrect, and could not be used to describe a year.
