[规则感悟] ①数词的基本形式为基数词。②表示数词的顺序往往用序数词。大部分是在基
数词的基础上加-th。以-y结尾的基数词变序数词，把-y变成-ie再加-th。③“in the＋逢十的
基数词的复数”表示“在某个世纪几十年代”。“in one’s＋逢十的基数词的复数”表示
“在某人几十多岁时”。④具体数字＋dozen/score/hundred/thousand/million 等词时，后面直
接加名词复数；表示笼统数目时，用dozens/scores/hundreds/thousands/millions of＋名词复数。
⑤分数表达：分子用基数词，分母用序数词。当分子大于1时，分母序数词加-s，如：1/3：
one third,2/3：two thirds。

3．序数词的使用
(1)序数词在句中主要作定语，一般情况下序数词前要加定冠词。
Monday is the second day of a week.
星期一是一周的第二天。
(2)序数词前有时加不定冠词，表示“又一、再一”，相当于another。
Would you like a second cup of tea?
你还想再来一杯茶吗？
I had a fourth apple.
我(吃了三个苹果后)又吃了一个苹果。
(3)有时序数词作状语，不加冠词。
He came out first in the contest.
他在比赛中获得第一名。对点练习
