Ex.:
January is the first month of the year. (Janeiro é o primeiro mês do ano). Bob is the third winner. (Bob é o terceiro ganhador). John is the ninth student of this line. (John é o nono aluno desta fila).

The ordinal numbers are also used in English for dates: January 28th (Vigésimo oitavo dia do mês de janeiro).


Note: Note that the "th" accompanies the numeral twenty-eight, as the twenty-eighth termination is "th". The first ordinal numeral, for example, ends in "st" (first), so it should come "st" accompanying the numeral 1. The second ordinal numeral ends in "nd" (second), so you should see the "nd" in keeping with the numeral 2. The same happens with third (third), so "rd" must accompany the numeral 3.
