Numerals in English are mainly divided into cardinal numbers and ordinal numbers. The so-called cardinal number is mathematically understood as a number with comparable size. Primitive words in English are used to describe the quantity of things.
Ordinal number is a kind of numeral, which is mainly mentioned in English grammar and expressed as "which number" in Chinese. In addition, when describing your date of birth, you will also use ordinal numbers in your birthday. For example: May-First (May1); In English learning, it is often necessary to distinguish between cardinal words and ordinal numbers.
