Ordinal numbers are easy to learn but also, easy to forget.
When objects are placed in order, we use ordinal numbers to tell their position. If ten people ran a race, we would say that the person that ran the fastest was in first place, the next student was in second place, and so on.

Exception: won't is an exception. Will not becomes won't.
Write the correct contraction for each pair of missing words. When you have finished write some example sentences using contractions.

So how was your weekend? What did you do? Did you do anything nice? Here's something I did over the weekend.
I went out for a meal with my cousins on Saturday night.
I have a large family and we don't see each other as much as we would like so we decided to all _1_ up.

It took a lot of planning to find an evening when we were all available, that's for sure.
