12:13

the numbers um so when you're saying 20

12:15

to 30 you say 21

12:17

12:19

23 etc so you just put 20 plus

12:22

the

12:23

single digit afterwards so 21 for

12:25

example

12:27

um and then the number

12:29

12:42

cool yeah

12:44

um

12:45

should we continue on to days of the

12:47

week maybe we can come back to that well

12:49

um before we do verbs okay um because

12:52

that's going to be more connected then

12:53

and i think it will be more helpful to

12:55

mention it at that point definitely

12:59

um let's look at ordinal numbers then

13:01

okay

13:02

so since we just talked about regular

13:04

numbers so ordinal numbers

13:06

are numbers like first

13:09

second

13:11

third do you guys remember these from

13:14

the last class

13:15

when do you use ordinal numbers when do

13:18

you say first

13:19

or second or third

13:22

there's a particular time a special time

13:24

for this let us know in the comments

13:26

when do you use numbers like first

13:28

second and third

13:30

or twentieth even

13:34

it's a really common way we do this

13:37

not every language does this german does

13:39

though i think

13:42

you know what i'm thinking of no not

13:43

every language does this no in um

13:46

spanish and french i think

13:48

you just use the cardinal number not

13:50

really

13:51

not the ordinal number

13:53

yep captain t's got it yeah for the date

13:56

good job so for example

13:58

um what's today's date

14:00

october 17th right

14:03

so

14:04

uh yeah great 21st yeah well well done

14:08

so

14:09

the beginning of the ordinal numbers you

14:11

have to learn they're they're special

14:13

it's

14:14

um first

14:17

second

14:18

third

14:19

but beyond that you just take the

14:21

original number and you add th at the

14:23

end so you

14:26

fifth

14:27

sixth

14:28

seventh etc

14:30

the only weird ones are kind of strange

14:32

ones are um

14:35

the tense numbers so

14:37

20th

14:39

30th you add another syllable in there

14:41

it's not just 20th it's 20th

14:46

20th

14:47

so you want to just be careful for that

14:49

yeah and really make sure you're kind of

14:51

putting your tongue between your teeth

14:54

when you pronounce that

14:55

sound

14:56

otherwise it's really hard to say so you

14:59

might feel a little bit silly

15:01

but we really do kind of stick our

15:04

tongues out
