These days we've been checking on how to say dates in English in 1st ESO classes. Here's a chart with the difference in spelling between cardinal and ordinal numbers.
To make an ordinal number you add the ending -TH to the cardinal number from nº4 onwards.
So four > fourth, six > sixth, seven > seventh, etc...
Be careful with some spellings:
five > fifth, eight > eighth, nine > ninth, twelve > twelfth, twenty > twentieth...
The first three numbers have their own different ordinals:
one - first, two- second and three - third.
To abbreviate you can write the number amd the last two letters:
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th...

REMEMBER THAT IN ENGLISH YOU USE
ORDINAL NUMBERS
FOR DATES.
