Ordinal Numbers

What are ordinal numbers?

Ordinal numbers tell us the order or position of things.
They are not the same as numbers that show how many.
Example:
- Number → how many: one, two, three
- Ordinal → order: first, second, third

1️⃣ Most ordinal numbers: add “-th”

For most numbers, just add -th to the number.
Examples:
- four → fourth
- six → sixth
- seven → seventh
- ten → tenth

Rule: number + th → ordinal

2️⃣ Special ordinal forms (irregular)

Some ordinals don’t follow the “-th” rule. You need to learn them by heart:

Number	Ordinal	Word
1	1st	first
2	2nd	second
3	3rd	third
5	5th	fifth
8	8th	eighth
9	9th	ninth
12	12th	twelfth

3️⃣ Numbers ending in “-y”

Change -y to -ie and add -th
Examples:
- twenty → twentieth
- thirty → thirtieth
- forty → fortieth

4️⃣ Using ordinal numbers in sentences

This is my first day.
She lives on the third floor.
My birthday is on the second of May.

5️⃣ Using ordinal numbers with dates

Ordinals are used to talk about dates:
- February 2nd → “the second of February”
- July 21st → “the twenty-first of July”

6️⃣ Quick beginner tips

Numbers → how many: 1, 2, 3 …
Ordinals → order: 1st, 2nd, 3rd …
Remember the special ones: first, second, third, fifth, eighth, ninth, twelfth

The black panther is a big and strong wild animal. It is very beautiful and very fast. The black panther is not a different kind of animal. It is a leopard or a jaguar with black color. The black color comes from the skin and the fur. Sometimes, if the sun is bright, you can see spots on its body. These spots are like the normal leopard or jaguar.

Black panthers live in warm places. They live in forests and jungles. Some live in Africa, some in Asia, and some in South America. They like places with many trees. Trees are important for them. Panthers can climb trees and hide from danger. They also rest in trees during the day.

The black panther is a

carnivore.
This means it eats meat. It eats animals like deer, birds, and small animals. The black panther is a very good hunter. It hunts mostly at night. At night, it can see very well. Its black color helps it hide in the dark. When it moves quietly, other animals do not see it.

The black panther is very fast and strong. It can run quickly and jump far. It can also climb very high. Sometimes, it jumps from tree to tree. It is very quiet. It does not make much noise. But when it wants, it can roar. Its roar is very loud. It uses the roar to protect its home or to scare other animals.

Black panthers usually live alone. They do not live in groups like lions. They meet other panthers only to have babies. A baby panther is called a cub. The mother panther takes care of her cubs. She teaches them how to hunt and how to live in the forest. Cubs stay with their mother for a long time. Then, they go to live alone.

The black panther is important for nature. It helps keep the forest alive. It controls the number of other animals. Without black panthers, some animals can eat too much food and destroy the forest.

Today, black panthers are in danger. People cut the forests to build houses and roads. This is called deforestation. It is very bad for panthers. Some people also hunt black panthers for their fur. This is illegal in many countries, but it still happens. We must protect the black panther and its home.

In conclusion, the black panther is a beautiful, strong, and smart animal. It is quiet, fast, and powerful. It lives in forests and jungles, hunts at night, and climbs trees very well. We should respect black panthers and protect the forests where they live.

The cheetah is a beautiful and interesting animal. It is a wild animal and it lives in nature. The cheetah is famous because it is the fastest land animal in the world. Many people like the cheetah because it is strong, fast, and elegant.

The cheetah lives mainly in Africa. Some cheetahs also live in parts of Asia, but they are very rare there. Cheetahs like open places such as grasslands and savannas. These places are good for running and hunting. The cheetah needs a lot of space to live and move freely.

The cheetah has a slim body and long legs. Its body is made for speed. It has a small head and a long tail. The tail helps the cheetah keep balance when it runs. The cheetah has yellow fur with black spots all over its body. These spots help the cheetah hide in the grass. The cheetah also has black lines on its face. These lines go from the eyes to the mouth and help protect its eyes from the sun.

The cheetah eats meat. It is a

carnivore.

It hunts animals like deer, rabbits, and small antelopes. The cheetah hunts during the day. It uses its strong legs and fast speed to catch its prey. The cheetah can run very fast, up to 100 kilometers per hour, but only for a short time. After running, the cheetah needs to rest because it gets tired quickly.

_______________

Cheetahs usually live alone, but sometimes they live in small groups. A mother cheetah lives with her babies. She takes care of them and teaches them how to hunt. Baby cheetahs are called cubs. They are very cute and playful. The mother protects them from danger.

Today, cheetahs are in danger. There are not many cheetahs left in the world. People destroy their homes and hunt animals that cheetahs eat. Because of this, cheetahs cannot find enough food or safe places to live. Many organizations work to protect cheetahs and their habitats.

In conclusion, the cheetah is an amazing animal. It is fast, beautiful, and important for nature. We should learn about cheetahs and help protect them. Saving cheetahs means saving nature and the future of our planet.

Good luck!

PRESENT CONTINUOUS

1. When to use it (Present Continuous = “-ing” form)

We use the present continuous to talk about things that are happening right now, at the moment of speaking, at this moment.

Examples:

I am eating. (I am eating now.)
She is reading a book. (She is reading now.)
They are playing football. (They are playing now.)

2. How to form it

Formula:

Subject + be + verb + -ing

Step 1: Use the right form of be

I → am
He / She / It → is
You / We / They → are

Step 2: Add verb + -ing

3. How to make -ing verbs (rules)

Normal verbs: just add -ing

eat → eating
play → playing
read → reading

Verbs ending with -e: remove -e and add -ing

make → making
write → writing
dance → dancing

One-syllable verbs with one vowel + one consonant: double the last consonant and add -ing

run → running
sit → sitting
swim → swimming

Verbs ending with -ie: change -ie to -y and add -ing

lie → lying
die → dying

✅ Quick tip:

Words like now, at the moment, today often show we use present continuous.
Don’t forget -ing at the end of the verb!

The Case of the Missing Keys

Detective Ben is at Mrs. Green’s house.
Her keys are missing from the table.
She is worried.

Three people are there: Tom, Lily, and Jack.

Ben looks around.
There is a small puddle near the door.
A chair is moved.
The table is clean except for a cup of tea.

Tom says, “I sit in the living room. I read a book.”
His shoes are dry.

Lily says, “I water the flowers outside.”
Her shoes are wet.

Jack says, “I make a cup of tea. I sit here.”
His shoes are dry.

Ben looks at the door.
The puddle is small.
The floor near the table is dry.

Ben thinks.
Who goes outside? Who has wet shoes?
The keys are near the door, not the table.

Ben smiles.
“Lily,” he says.
“You go outside. You put the keys on the bench. Then they fell in the puddle.”

Lily looks surprised.
“Yes,” she says. “I forgot them there.”

Why Lily?

Step 1: List the clues

4. Shoes wet / dry – shows who was outside.
  - Tom: dry
  - Lily: wet
  - Jack: dry
5. Table clean except a cup of tea – keys are not on the table.
6. Floor near table is dry – keys aren’t on the table, hints they went somewhere else.
Step 2: Analyze the statements
- Tom: inside, shoes dry → probably didn’t go outside.
- Jack: inside, shoes dry → also probably didn’t go outside.
- Lily: outside watering flowers, shoes wet → she went outside, near the door/puddle.
Step 3: Look at the location of the keys
- The keys were not on the table, where they normally are.
- There is a puddle near the door → keys probably fell there.
Step 4: Combine clues
- Only Lily went outside (wet shoes).
- Puddle near the door and moved chair indicate someone interacted with the door area.
- Keys ended up in the puddle → Lily must have carried or moved them.
Conclusion:
- Lily is the culprit.
- She went outside with the keys, forgot them on the bench, and they fell into the puddle.

- money stolen
The Case of the Stolen Money

Detective Anna is in a small town. Today, she has a new case. Someone stole money from Mr. Green.

Mr. Green says: “I put 100 dollars on the table. Now it is gone! I need help.”

There are three people in the house:
1. Tom, the gardener. He works in the garden all day.
2. Lily, the cook. She cooks food for Mr. Green.
3. Sam, the cleaner. He cleans the house every day.
Detective Anna asks them questions.
- Tom says: “I work outside. I do not see the money.”
- Lily says: “I cook in the kitchen. I do not take money.”
- Sam says: “I clean the house. I see nothing. I do not take money.”
Anna looks for clues. She sees:
- The table is near the window. The window is open.
- There are footprints on the floor. Big footprints.
- There is a small piece of chocolate on the table.
- A chair is near the window. The chair has dust under it.
Anna asks more questions:
- Tom wears big shoes. Lily wears small shoes. Sam wears medium shoes.
- Tom does not eat chocolate. Lily eats chocolate every day. Sam eats chocolate sometimes.
- Tom is tall. Lily is short. Sam is medium height.
Anna thinks carefully. She looks at the footprints. They are big. She looks at the chocolate. Someone ate it. She looks at the chair. The dust is moved.

Anna says: “The person who stole the money is near the table. The person left big footprints. The person eats chocolate.”

Who stole the money?

#################

You got it? You solved the case?

We have three suspects:
1. Tom – big shoes, does not eat chocolate, works outside.
2. Lily – small shoes, eats chocolate every day, works in the kitchen.
3. Sam – medium shoes, eats chocolate sometimes, cleans the house.
Clues:
- Footprints on the floor are big → matches Tom.
- There is chocolate eaten → matches Lily and Sam, not Tom.
- Table is near the window, chair moved, dust moved → person was near the table and window.
Now combine:
- The thief left big footprints → Tom.
- The thief ate chocolate → only Lily or Sam.
Notice the conflict: Tom has big shoes but does not eat chocolate.
The chocolate clue shows the thief ate chocolate, so it is not Tom.
Sam’s shoes are medium → footprints too small.
Lily’s shoes are small → footprints too small.

But the footprints are big, and someone ate chocolate → this is tricky!

Look at the text carefully:
- The footprints were big and the chocolate was on the table, not necessarily eaten by the thief.
- The chocolate clue says: “There is a small piece of chocolate on the table.”
- Tom does not eat chocolate, but the chocolate is left there → it’s not about eating, just a clue to the table.
So the main clues for the thief:
1. Big footprints → Tom.
2. Near the table / window / chair → yes, Tom could reach it.
3. Chocolate is just a distraction.
✅ Solution: Tom stole the money.

Why:
- Only Tom has big shoes, which match the footprints.
- The thief must have been near the table → the window is open, footprints lead from the table → Tom had access.
- The chocolate clue was meant to distract the reader.
_____________________

Vocabulary:
- a suspect → a person who might have done something wrong
- to match somebody/something → to look good together or be the same as something
- a thief (plural: thieves) → a person who steals things
- tricky → difficult or not easy
- necessarily → it must happen; it is needed
- to lead from the table → to take someone away from the table (like in a game or meal)
- to have access → to be able to use or reach something
- to distract → to take someone’s attention away from something

The Missing Necklace

It is Monday morning. Detective Kim is in her office. Suddenly, Mrs. Lee comes in.

“My necklace is gone!” she says. “It was on the table in my living room.”

Detective Kim asks some questions.

“Who was in your house yesterday?”
Mrs. Lee thinks. “My son, my daughter, and the neighbor came.”

Detective Kim goes to the house. She sees three people:
- The son says, “I was in my room all day.” He looks nervous.
- The daughter says, “I helped my mother in the kitchen.” She smiles.
- The neighbor says, “I was reading in the garden.” She looks calm.
Detective Kim looks at the table. She sees:
- A cup of tea.
- A small footprint.
- A pen.
Detective Kim asks, “Who is the necklace for?”
Mrs. Lee says, “It is very small. Only a woman can wear it.”

Detective Kim thinks. She asks one question again: “Who wears shoes in the house?”
- The son always wears shoes.
- The daughter does not wear shoes.
- The neighbor wears shoes.
Detective Kim smiles. She knows who took the necklace.

_____________________

Vocabulary:
- A purse – a small bag for money, keys, and small things.
- To get a call – someone phones you.
- A cleaner (person) – a person who cleans houses or rooms.
- To look calm – to not show worry or fear; to look relaxed.
- To drink (past: drank) tea – to take tea into your mouth and swallow [to make food or drink go down your throat into your stomach] it.
- To smile – to make your mouth curve up because you are happy.
- To look busy – to look like you are working or doing something important.
- A pen – a small thing to write with.
- A scarf – a long cloth to wear around the neck.
- To wear rings – to have rings on your fingers.
##############

Solve the case:

The thief is the daughter.

Detective Hana thinks carefully:
1. The sofa is in the living room. The daughter says, “I was reading in the living room.” This is the same place as the purse. She had the opportunity.
2. The friend is in the kitchen. She drinks tea. She is far from the sofa. She cannot take the purse easily.
3. The cleaner cleans the bathroom and kitchen. She does not touch the living room much.
4. The pen is on the floor. The daughter writes sometimes. The friend and cleaner do not write. This is a clue that the daughter was near the sofa.
5. The rings: Only women wear rings. The cleaner does not wear rings, so she is less likely to take something from Mrs. Park, who is a woman.
6. The daughter looks calm. But sometimes, when people are nervous, they try to look calm.
All the clues together show:
- The daughter was near the purse.
- She can write, like the pen clue.
- She wears rings, like Mrs. Park mentioned.
- The other people cannot reach or do not match the clues.
Detective Hana asks the daughter again. She admits: “I took the purse. I wanted to see the phone. I am sorry.”

The case is solved. The purse goes back to Mrs. Park.
