Ordinal numbers (les nombres ordinaux) are used to express rank or position, in other words, ordinal numbers are used for ordering, as opposed to cardinal numbers, which are used for counting.


Most French ordinal numbers and fractions (les fractions) are written the same. In English, they are identical from "third" on up, while in French they’re the same starting with cinquième.

ORDINAL NUMBERS |   |   |   | FRACTIONS
first | premier
première  | 1st | 1er
1re   |            |   | 
second | deuxième | 2nd | 2e |   | 1/2, half | un demi,
une demie
/ la moitié
third | troisième | 3rd | 3e |   | 1/3 | un tiers
fourth | quatrième | 4th | 4e |   | 1/4 | un quart
fifth | cinquième | 5th | 5e |   | 1/5 | un cinquième
sixth | sixième | 6th | 6e |   | 1/6 | un sixième
seventh  | septième | 7th | 7e |   | 1/7 | un septième
eighth | huitième | 8th | 8e |   | 1/8 | un huitième
ninth | neuvième | 9th | 9e |   | 1/9 | un neuvième
tenth | dixième | 10th  | 10e |   | 1/10 | un dixième
  |   |   |   |   | 3/4 | trois quarts
  |   |   |   |   | 2/5 | deux cinquièmes
A FEW RULES OF THE ROAD1. Other than demi, tiers, and quart, all French fractions are based on their corresponding cardinal numbers. Note that when the cardinal number ends in -e, that letter is dropped before the fraction ending.
cardinal number | drop the final e (if any) | add -ième
six | six | sixième
onze | onz | onzième
vingt et un | vingt et un | vingt et unième

2. Demi can be feminine when used as a noun or when it follows a noun. But when demi precedes a noun, it always remains in the masculine form. All other French fractions are always masculine and must be preceded by a number. If they’re followed by a noun, the preposition de is inserted as a go-between.3. Premier ("first") is the only ordinal number that can be either masculine or feminine: premier (masculine) and première (feminine). Note that twenty-first, thirty-first and the like are always masculine.
A FEW POINTERSWatch out for the spelling changes from cinq to cinquième and neufto neuvième.Ordinal numbers are not used in dates in French, except for premier​.
