Show transcript
Ordinal numbers are used to describe the order in which things happen e.g. the fourth year, the sixth lesson. To make French ordinal numbers, add the suffix 'ième'. Remove the -e from numbers ending -e first and add 'u' to 'cinq'. 'First' (premier/première) is an exception but 'twenty-first' follows the normal pattern 'le vingt-et-unième'. To form the imperfect tense for 'il/elle/on', take the present tense 'nous' form, remove 'ons' and add -ait.
