同學(xué)們首先應(yīng)會讀會寫所有基數(shù)詞和序數(shù)詞，以及與數(shù)詞有關(guān)的鐘點表達(dá)法。對數(shù)詞的考查，中考常采用單選題及聽力題，這些題型歸納起來，應(yīng)掌握以下幾點特別容易出錯的地方。
1.基數(shù)詞變序數(shù)詞。其規(guī)律為：
1,2,3特殊記，加th從4起 (first,second,third,fourth)
8少t，9去e，千萬別忘記 (eighth,ninth) 逢5逢12，ve變f (fifth,twelfth)
20到90，y要變ie (twentieth,ninetieth) 若是幾十幾，前基后序別倒位 (ninety-first)
2.hundred,thousand,million 在構(gòu)成具體的數(shù)字時用單數(shù)形式。 如：five hundred people. 只有在表達(dá)籠統(tǒng)的多數(shù)時才加s，構(gòu)成復(fù)數(shù)形式。
hundreds of 數(shù)以百計的，成百上千的 thousands of 數(shù)以千計的，成千上萬的
millions of 數(shù)百萬的 這些詞組前不能用具體數(shù)字。
3.序數(shù)詞常與定冠詞the 連用。
練習(xí):①Henry has learned eight _________ French words this year.
A.hundred B.hundreds C.hundred of D.hundreds of
②The _________lesson is the most difficult one in Book Two. (twenty)
另外，同學(xué)們還應(yīng)掌握與數(shù)詞有關(guān)的鐘點表達(dá)法。
順讀法(鐘點＋分鐘) 如：4:30 four thirty 4:45 four forty-five
4:15 four fifteen 倒讀法(分鐘＋to／past＋鐘點) 如：4:30 half past four
4:15 fifteen past four／a quarter past four 4:45 fifteen to five／a quarter to five
