 Грамматика урока: 

В этом уроке грамматику можно разделить на две части. 

Первая часть грамматики посвящена порядковым числительным. Ана читает новости: first, second, third stories. Порядковые числительные (Ordinal Numerals) обозначают порядковый номер того или иного предмета при счете и отвечают на вопрос which? (который?). Все порядковые числительные образуются от соответствующих количественных числительных путем прибавления суффикса «th». Исключение составляют первый, второй и третий - соответственно first, second, third. 

Таблица порядковых числительных:

Цифры, числа	Количественное числительное	Порядковое числительное
1	one	first
2	two	second
3	three	third
4	four	fourth
5	five	fifth
6	six	sixth
7	seven	seventh
8	eight	eighth
9	nine	ninth
10	ten	tenth
11	eleven	eleventh
12	twelve	twelfth
13	thirteen	thirteenth
14	fourteen	fourteenth
15	fifteen	fifteenth
16	sixteen	sixteenth
17	seventeen	seventeenth
18	eighteen	eighteenth
19	nineteen	nineteenth
20	twenty	twentieth
21	twenty-one	twenty-first
22	twenty-two	twenty-second
23	twenty-three	twenty-third
24	twenty-four	twenty-fourth
25	twenty-five	twenty-fifth
26	twenty-six	twenty-sixth

80	eighty	eightieth
90	ninety	ninetieth
100	one hundred	hundredth
500	five hundred	five hundredth
1000	one thousand	thousandth
100 000	one hundred thousand	hundred thousandth
1 000 000	one million	millionth

Вторая часть грамматики относится к частоте производимых действий и наречий, выражающих эту частоту. 

Наречия (adverbs) частоты отвечают на вопрос how often (как часто). Ана читает новости и снова и снова (again and again) не может справиться с чувствами - она делает это всегда (always).

80-летняя американка, выигравшая гоночный автомобиль редко беседует с репортерами - She rarely talks to reporters.

Но когда она делает это, она часто повторяет - "Теперь ничто не может меня остановить!" - But when she does, she often says, “Nothing can stop me now!”

Таблица наречий, означающих частоту действий выглядит следующим образом:  

На сегодня всё! Хорошего всем дня и прекрасного настроения!
