Grammar (Грамматика)
Ordinal numerals (Порядковые имена числительные)
Remember! (Запомните!) Порядковые имена числительные в английском языке образуются в основном путем прибавления суффикса –th к слову, обозначающему соответствующее количественное имя числительное. Например, одиннадцатый – eleventh. Но есть и исключения: первый – first, второй – second, третий – third. При написании вносятся некоторые изменения на конце слов: ve – f (twelve - twelfth) y – ie (twenty - twentieth) немое e убирается (nine - ninth) Слово последний по-английски будет last, предпоследний – last but one. |

Remember! (Запомните!) В английском языке для называния дат очень важно знать порядковые имена числительные. Например, 15-е октября по-английски будет the fifteenth of October. Не забывайте использовать артикль и предлог. Есть и другой вариант: October 15 (October the fifteenth). Для называния года число, обозначающее год, разделяется на два числа пополам, например: 1990 разделяется на 19 и 91 и произносится nineteen ninety-one. Для называния годов, оканчивающихся на 00, например 1900, говорят nineteen hundred. Для называния годов, начиная с 2000, число произносится полностью, например: two thousand, 2004 – two thousand and four. Слово «год» в английском языке после названия года не говорится, например: 1995 год – nineteen ninety-five. |
