Numbers come in two forms in almost every language. The most common form is called cardinal <\/em>numbers. You use cardinal numbers when you look at a price tag or do your taxes. In other words, you use these types of numbers for any type of counting. The second type of number is called ordinal<\/em> numbers, which allows you to rank something. For example, you may want to tell a friend that you live on the fourth floor.<\/p>\n
