Introduction
Cardinal numbers are used to express the quantity of something.
Form
These are the first ten cardinal numbers:
- 0 – Zero
- 1 – One
- 2 – Two
- 3 – Three
- 4 – Four
- 5 – Five
- 6 – Six
- 7 – Seven
- 8 – Eight
- 9 – Nine
- 10 – Ten
Example
- I have one dog.
- There are three examples here.
- We need 10 oranges to make orange juice.
Use
Cardinal numbers are placed before or after a noun because we use them to express the exact number of people, animals or things (how many of those things there are).
