Errors in the Use of Numerals

数词的误用

  3.序数使用不当

 

  Example:

  Wrong:为什么你第一天、二天没来?

  Right:为什么你第一天、第二天没来?

  To show order,“第”is often required before the numeral.“二(天)”in the sentence should be preceded by “第”

 

  Example:

  Wrong:他朋友在北京语言学院第二系第一年级学习汉语。

  Right:他朋友在北京语言学院二系一年级学习汉语。

  “第”is not needed before numerals used to distinguish departments or grades.One should delete“第”in the sentence.
