In the previous chapter, you have seen how to count in French. Now that you are familiar with numbers, you can learn rank:

Get the number and add "ième" at the end (except for 1)

Examples

• Séverine est arrivée la première.
  Séverine came first.
• Jean a fini dix-huitième.
  Jean took 18th place.

For larger numbers, the rule is the same:

• 41^ème: quarante-et-unième
• 203^ème: deux cent troisième
• 4608^ème: quatre mille six cent huitième
• 4616^ème: quatre mille six cent seizième
