2、基数词常与名词构成的合成词在句中作定语,中间要用连字符 “_”,这个名词只用单数形式. a two hundred – word report a seven-day holiday a 3 – year – old girl
基数词的用法 1、表示一个具体数字时,hundred, thousand, million,billion一律不用复数;在表示一个不 确定数字时则用复数。例如: 1) Our country has a population of 1,300 million people. 2) There are three thousand students in our school. 3) After the war, thousands of people became homeless. 4) Maize is the most important food crop for millions of people in the world.

序数词的构成 1)1-3分别为first,second,third 。 2)4-19都是在后面加上th,特殊的有 fifth, eighth, ninth,twelfth。 3)20-90把y变成ie然后加th,如twentieth。 4)21-99的序数词变后面的各位数。 序数词可以用缩写,如1st, 2nd, 3rd ,4th…
