Ada dua macam bilangan (numbers) dalam Bahasa Inggris: cardinal numbers dan ordinal numbers.
Cardinal numbers digunakan untuk menghitung.
Example:
- one, two, three, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, a hundred, … etc
Ordinal numbers digunakan untuk mengurutkan sesuatu.
Example:
- first, second, third, twenty-first, twenty-third, hundredth, … etc
Saat mengucapkan tanggal, kita menggunakan ordinal numbers.
Example:
- “March 10”
- Diucapkan: “the tenth of March“.
