🏆 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 →\rightarrow came in sixth place
  • Beckett →\rightarrow came in tenth place
  • Sophie →\rightarrow came in fifth place

Quick Guide for A2 Learners: Most numbers just add -th at the end, but remember these special ones:

  • 1 →\rightarrow First
  • 2 →\rightarrow Second
  • 3 →\rightarrow Third
  • 5 →\rightarrow Fifth (not fiveth!)

Why this matters: Using "came in [number] place" is the most natural way to report results in English.
