Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Match French ordinal numbers (premier through douzième) to their English meanings.

  • Translate ordinal numbers between digit and written French form in both directions, including numbers 13th-24th.

  • Use ordinal numbers correctly inside French sentences describing floors, order of arrival, and calendar months.

Teaching tips

  • Start with the matching page (page 1) before the sentence-completion pages (4-6, 9), since students need to recognise the ordinal words before using them correctly in context.

  • Point out the irregular forms on page 8 before assigning it, since vingt et unième (21st) breaks the regular pattern used through the twenties.

  • Treat page 14 as an open discussion or writing exercise rather than a fixed-answer page, since the answer key itself notes that responses may vary.

Skills covered

  • Ordinal-number recognition — students match premier through douzième to their English meanings (page 1).

  • Bidirectional translation — students convert between digits and written French ordinal forms, including 13th-24th (pages 2-3, 7-8, 11-13).

  • Contextual sentence use — students fill French ordinal numbers into sentences about floors, arrival order, and months (pages 4-6, 9).

  • Open sentence composition — students write their own example sentences using ordinal numbers (page 14).

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Do all the sentence-completion exercises have one fixed correct answer?

Most do, but the final page is different: its expected responses are labelled 'Answers may vary — example answers,' since ordinal-number sentences at that point can be completed several correct ways.
