You come across ordinals a lot in every day life. For instance, maybe you are reading a book and you are on the sixteenth chapter. Or maybe you are mad at your dog and so you say, "I've told you for the fifteenth time to stop doing that!" Or maybe you made a list of your twenty favorite movies and a movie named "Big Ugly Spiders" is the fourteenth movie on your list.
