1. Numeral Adjectives

An adjective of number is an adjective that

shows the exact number of persons or things

denoted by a noun or pronoun. An adjective of a

number can also demonstrate a noun’s position or

place in a specific order. This is also known as a

numeral adjective. Adjectives of numbers are

used with countable nouns.

a. Definite Numeral

Definite numeral adjectives denote the

exact number of nouns or their exact position.

Numbers that show how many objects there

are, such as (one, two, three, four and so on)

are called cardinals. Numbers that indicate the

serial order in which an object is located are

ordinal or level.
