Here we convert the cardinal number five (5) to an
ordinal number. This is useful if you want to use the number 5 as an
adjective when you speak or write it.
There are two ways of writing 5 as an ordinal number, either with letters
and numbers or just letters as follows:
5th
fifth
When would you be using the ordinal instead of the cardinal version of 5
you ask?
You use 5 (cardinal) if you are describing how many of something, and you use 5th (ordinal) if you
are describing a position or rank of something.
Like we mentioned above, remember to use the ordinal version of 5 when
5 is used as an adjective.
