Ordinal numbers are numbers that indicate the position or order of an object or number in relation to
a point of reference. When objects are placed in order, we use ordinal numbers to tell their position. In
writing ordinal numbers and its symbol, study the table below:
Notice that in writing ordinal numbers in symbol we used a number combined with
letters (st, nd, rd and th) as superscripts. In writing the symbol of an ordinal
number, apply the following rule:
For numbers ending in 1 except 11, connect with the letters st as
superscripts.
For numbers ending in 2 except 12, connect with the letters nd as
superscripts.
For numbers ending in 3 except 13, connect with the letters rd as
superscripts.
Use th as superscripts for numerals ending with 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and for specific
number such as 11, 12 and 13.
