(1)基数词变序数词的规律:
基变序,有规律。
一、二、三、特殊记,词尾字母t,d,d.(first, second, third)。
八去t,九去e, f 来把ve 替。
(eight→eighth, nine→ninth, five→fifth,twelve→twelfth)
整“十”变y 改ie(twentieth)。
若是碰到几十几,只变个位就可以。(twenty-one→ twenty-first)。
序数词:
1st first 2nd second 3rd third 4th fourth 5th fifth 6th sixth 7th seventh 8th eighth 9th ninth 10th tenth 11th eleventh 12th twelfth
20th twentieth 21st twenty-first
22nd twenty-second 29th twenty-ninth 30th thirtieth 31st thirty-first
40th fortieth 50th fiftieth 60th sixtieth 70th seventieth 80th eightieth 90th ninetieth 100th hundredth
(2)序数词的用途
a.用来表示时间。
例如:2008 年2 月28 日可以表示为February 28th, 2007
b.用来表示顺序。
例如:He is always the first to come to school.他总是第一个来学校。
c.用来表示楼层。
例如:He lives on the fourth floor.他住在四楼。
以下是表示月份的单词,同学们要牢记:
January, February, March, April, May, June, July,August, September, October, November, December,
(3)数词的用法:
1)表示事物的编号:
如:the ninth part = part nine 第九部分
the Fourth Lesson = Lesson Four 第四课
the sixth paragraph = paragraph six 第六段
2)表示年月日:"年”用基数词,“日用序数词”。
例如:1949 年10 月1 日—写法:Oct. 1, 1949.
读做:Oct. (the ) first, nineteen forty-nine.
2009 年3 月28 日—写法:March 27, 2009.
读作:March, (the) twenty-seventh, two thousand and nine.
3)表示时间:
10:30 am. 读作:at half past ten in the morning
4)表示“加减乘除”:
15+2=?How much is fifteen plus two?
8-7=?How much is eight minus seven?
12×12=?How much is twelve times twelve?
81÷9=?How much is eighty-one divided by nine?
5)用数词表示分数时,分子用基数词,分母用序数词;如果分子大于1,分母要用复数。
1/2: one-second 3/4 three-fourths,
2/5 two-fifths.
记口诀:分子基,分母序。分子大于1, 分母加s.
6)读小数时,数字只用基数词:
3.4 读作:three point four
0.2 读作zero point two
