Here we convert the cardinal number seventeen (17) to an
ordinal number. This is useful if you want to use the number 17 as an
adjective when you speak or write it.
There are two ways of writing 17 as an ordinal number, either with letters
and numbers or just letters as follows:
17th
seventeenth
When would you be using the ordinal instead of the cardinal version of 17
you ask?
You use 17 (cardinal) if you are describing how many of something, and you use 17th (ordinal) if you
are describing a position or rank of something.
Like we mentioned above, remember to use the ordinal version of 17 when
17 is used as an adjective.
