ИМЯ ЧИСЛИТЕЛЬНОЕ
(The Numeral)
Именем числительным называется часть речи, которая обозначает количество или порядок предметов при счете. Имена числительные делятся на количественные, отвечающие на вопрос «сколько?» и порядковые, отвечающие на вопрос «который?». Количественные числительные от 13 до 19 образуются прибавлением суффикса -teen к основе. Числительные, обозначающие десятки, прибавляют к основе суффикс -ty. Порядковые числительные кроме первых трех (first, second, third) образуются прибавлением суффикса –th или -eth к соответствующим количественным числительным. Они употребляются с определенным артиклем.
