Ordinal Numbers-Ejemplos 1. What clase do you take 6 th period? -¿Cuál clase tomas la sexta hora? pág. 3/4 5. This is the fifth time. -Esta es la quinta vez. -WHY? : Since the word ‘time’ is a feminine noun, fifth has to be feminine. 2. Today is the 4 th of the month. -Hoy es el cuarto del mes. 6. I am in the 12 th grade. -Yo estoy en el duodécimo grado 3. She is the 7 th person in line. -Ella es la séptima person en la cola. -WHY? : Since the word ‘person’ is feminine, for both men and women, the word ‘seventh’ has to agree. 4.
