Cardinal Numbers:
• Cardinal numbers tell us "how many ."
- Examples: one, two, three, four.
• They are used for counting things.
- Example in a sentence:"I have three apples ."
Ordinal Numbers:
• Ordinal numbers tell us "the order" of things or their position.
- Examples: first, second, third, fourth.
• They are used to show the position or rank of something in a list or a sequence.
- Example in a sentence:"I finished the race in second place."
So, cardinal numbers are for counting, and ordinal numbers are for ordering.
