Grammar Focus – numerals (1)
Числительные – это самостоятельная часть речи, которая указывает на количество предметов или их порядок. Английские числительные также называются количественными прилагательными и в предложении могут выступать в качестве определения (fifty dollars) или же именной частью сложного сказуемого (they are six). Числительные английского языка подразделяются на количественные и порядковые.
Количественные числительные (cardinal numbers) указывают на количество объектов. Отвечают на вопрос «сколько?».
Порядковые числительные (ordinal numerals) указывают на порядок объектов, их порядковый номер. Они отвечают на вопрос «который по счету?».

Простые дроби (fractions). В простых дробях числитель обозначается количественным числительным, а знаменатель - порядковым. Порядковое числительное, т.е. знаменатель, принимает окончание множественного числа -s, если числитель больше единицы. Десятичные дроби (decimals) в английском языке читаются с помощью слова point (точка), после которой все цифры читаются отдельно. Это правило не относится к счету денег.
