數詞分為基數詞和序數詞。用於表示事物數目的詞稱為基數詞，表示事物順序的詞稱為序數詞。
1.基數詞(1000以內的基數詞的讀法)
365—three hundred and sixty-five
505—five hundred and five
2.基數詞變序數詞的方法：
基變序，有規律；詞尾要加th。
一二三，特殊記；詞尾分別tdd。
八去t ，九去e ；ve則以f替。
ty 則變作 ti ; 後面還有一個e。
要是遇到幾十幾；只將個位變成序。
eg. one—first two—second three—third
eight—eighth nine—ninth twelve—twelfth
twenty—twentieth
twenty-one –-twenty-first
3.數詞的應用：
A、時刻表達法：
a. 整點：基數詞 + o’clock
eg. It’s eight o’clock now.
b. 幾點幾分：

2.間接表達法：先分後小時
1)(<30分鐘)用past ：分鐘past 小時

2) (30分鐘)用to：(60-分鐘數) to (小時數+1)
eg. 3:35 twenty-five (minutes) to four
3) 30分鐘 = half 15分鐘 = a quarter

D、序數詞與不定冠詞(a; an)連用表又一；再一
eg. You’ve done it three times. Why not try a fourth time?
E、分數的`表達：分子（基數）、分母（序數）

注意：1.分子超過1時，分母加s
2.含分數的短語作主語由分數後的詞決定謂語
