đ How to describe a Rank
When we talk about sports, we don't just say 'win' or 'lose'. We use Ordinal Numbers to show the exact position.
The Pattern:
Subject + came in + number + place
Examples from the text:
- They came in sixth place
- Beckett came in tenth place
- Sophie came in fifth place
Quick Guide for A2 Learners: Most numbers just add -th at the end, but remember these special ones:
- 1 First
- 2 Second
- 3 Third
- 5 Fifth (not fiveth!)
Why this matters: Using "came in [number] place" is the most natural way to report results in English.
