Ordinal numbers in French

Ordinal numbers are used to indicate the position or rank of something in a list or sequence. In French, ordinal numbers are formed by adding the endings “-ième,” “-ème,” or “-er” to the cardinal numbers.

Here are the French ordinal numbers from 1 to 10 :

1 – premier/première (first)

2 – deuxième (second)

3 – troisième (third)

4 – quatrième (fourth)

5 – cinquième (fifth)

6 – sixième (sixth)

7 – septième (seventh)

8 – huitième (eighth)

9 – neuvième (ninth)

10 – dixième (tenth)

Note that for ordinal numbers that end in “-1,” you use the feminine form “première” if the noun being modified is feminine and “premier” if it is masculine.

For example: “Elle est arrivée première” (She arrived first) and “Il est arrivé premier” (He arrived first).

To form ordinal numbers higher than 10, you can use the cardinal number followed by the appropriate ending. For example:

11 – onzième (eleventh)

12 – douzième (twelfth)

13 – treizième (thirteenth)

14 – quatorzième (fourteenth)

15 – quinzième (fifteenth)

Tips

Here are some additional tips for using cardinal numbers in French:

• When counting objects, the number usually goes before the noun. For example: “J’ai cinq livres” (I have five books).
• When expressing ages, the number usually goes after the noun. For example: “Il a cinq ans” (He is five years old).
• When expressing dates, the number goes before the month. For example: “Le 5 janvier” (January 5th).

How to use French numbers to express quantities and amounts

To express quantities and amounts in French, you can use French numbers just like you would in English.

For example, you can say “J’ai cinq livres” to mean “I have five books.”

Here are a few tips for using French numbers to express quantities and amounts:

• When counting objects, you generally use the plural form of the noun and the number. For example: “J’ai trois chats” (I have three cats).
• When expressing a specific quantity or amount of something, you can use a preposition such as “de” or “en” before the noun. For example: “J’ai acheté deux kilos de pommes” (I bought two kilograms of apples).
• When expressing a price or cost, you can use the word “euro” (or “euros” if the amount is more than one) after the number. For example: “Le livre coûte dix euros” (The book costs 10 euros).
• When expressing a date, you can use the numbers followed by the month. For example: “Le concert aura lieu le 12 juillet” (The concert will take place on July 12).

Conclusion

In conclusion, learning how to count and use numbers in French can be a useful and practical skill to have, especially for those who are traveling to a French-speaking country or interacting with French-speaking individuals on a regular basis.

It is essential to know the basic numbers from 0 to 69, as well as the rules for constructing larger numbers, such as using the word “cent” to represent 100 and adding a hyphen to link the numbers in the hundreds, thousands, and millions place.

It is also helpful to be familiar with common phrases and expressions that use numbers, such as : telling time and giving phone numbers, as these can come up frequently in daily conversation.

Furthermore, it is important to pay attention to the gender of the numbers when using them with nouns in French, as numbers agree with the gender of the nouns they modify. For example, “trois chats” (three cats) uses the masculine form of the number three because “chats” is a masculine noun.

By practicing and using these numbers in context, learners can improve their proficiency and confidence in using them in everyday communication in French.

It may also be helpful to review the pronunciation of the numbers, as some of them can be challenging for English speakers due to the differences in vowel sounds.

Overall, mastering the use of numbers in French can greatly enhance one’s communication skills and ability to navigate various situations in a French-speaking environment.
