How do we use the ordinal determiners?

Ordinal determiners are used to indicate the position or order of something in a series or sequence. They are typically used before a noun to specify the rank or order of that noun.

To use ordinal determiners, we generally add the suffix "-th" to cardinal numbers (e.g., first, second, third, fourth, etc.). For example, "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and so on.

Here are a few examples of how we use ordinal determiners in sentences:

1. She finished in first place in the race.
2. The second book on the shelf is my favorite.
3. The third student in line will be the first to present.
4. This is the fourth time I've visited this museum.
5. The fifth chapter of the book is the most exciting.

In these examples, the ordinal determiners "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and "fifth" are used to indicate the position or order of the nouns they modify.
