What are the grammar features of ordinal numerals? (We put “the” before them and add -th ending; for 1st 2nd and 3rd — we use “the first”, “the second”, “the third” to them)To practise cardinal and ordinal numerals, students have to say the dates (ex. 5, p. 168) and answer what holidays do we celebrate on these days. The teacher has to draw students’ attention some date of these holidays are in Ukraine only.
