- It's my third job this year.(這是我今年的第三個工作。)

- She won first prize in the contest.(她在這個競賽中獲得第一名。)
- 日期
- I was born on September 2nd.(我在九月二日出生。)
- 關於日期的唸法和寫法,都需要多留心,例如:
- 【英式和歐洲】的日期寫法是先寫日期才寫月份,因此2020年10月10日會寫成10th October, 2020,但唸法會是the tenth of October, twenty-twenty。
- 而【美式】的日期寫法則是先寫月份才寫日期,因此2020年10月10日會寫成October 10th, 2020,唸成October the tenth, twenty-twenty。
- 在寫法上,無論是哪一種,代表日期的序數詞詞尾(-st, -nd, -rd 或 -th)都可以省略。
- 第……個週年 / 第……個生日
- I spent my 18th birthday at a hotel this year.(我今年在飯店度過我的十八歲生日。)
- 樓層
- She lives on the 3rd floor.(她住在三樓。)
- 分數
- 這裡的分數不是指獲得幾分的分數,而是指幾分之幾的分數,此時分子需用基數,分母需用序數表示,且分子若大於一,分母需加上s。
- One-third of the students in this class were tested positive for COVID-19.(這個班級全班三分之一的學生被檢測出新冠肺炎陽性。)
