Why generate your own French ordinal numbers flashcards

Ordinal numbers in French follow a simple rule for most forms: take the cardinal number and add -ième, adjusting the spelling as needed. Cinq becomes cinquième, neuf becomes neuvième and quatre drops its final e. The exceptions, premier and première, are the ones students mix up most, so French ordinal numbers flashcards are most useful when they include both the masculine and feminine forms.

  • Start with the first ten ordinals, then add the ones your course uses for dates and floors.
  • Write the feminine forms of premier and dernier on their own cards.
  • Say each ordinal out loud before you flip the card to check pronunciation.
  • Use a short quiz after each study session to test recall without the answer visible.
Example French ordinal numbers flashcards
How do you say fifth in French?Cinquième. Cinq takes a u before -ième, so the ordinal is cinquième.
What is the feminine form of premier (first)?Première. Use première with feminine nouns, as in la première leçon.
How do you say ninth in French?Neuvième. Neuf changes its f to v before adding -ième.
How do you say fourth in French?Quatrième. Drop the final e of quatre before adding -ième.
How do you say the last in French?Le dernier or la dernière. Dernier means last and agrees in gender with the noun it describes.

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text notes or a photo of a page. The cards follow the ordinals your teacher actually covered.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and ones you know fade to longer intervals, so the irregular forms get more practice.

Quizzes with explanations

Turn the same notes into multiple choice or short answer questions that explain why cinquième, not cinqième, is correct.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add the page, slide deck or list of ordinals from your course. Handwritten pages can be photographed and read with text recognition.

Generate flashcards

DeckOwl creates front-and-back cards from the material. Check the list and remove anything your class did not cover.

Study in the browser

Review cards on any device. Your misses return on a schedule until you can recall each form without hesitating.

Ready-made sets can cover a generic list of ordinals, but your teacher may use a different range, focus on dates or floors, or drill the forms in a particular textbook order. Generating cards from your own material keeps the deck matched to what you will be tested on, and you can add the example sentences from your handouts to the back of each card.

Spaced repetition matters for this topic because the forms are short and easy to confuse on first sight. Reviewing the cards at growing intervals helps you recall dernier and dernière under time pressure, not just while you are looking at the page.

Frequently asked questions

How do I form French ordinal numbers?

For most numbers, add -ième to the cardinal number, such as sixième from six and dixième from dix. Spelling changes apply: cinq adds a u to become cinquième, and neuf becomes neuvième.

How many flashcards should I make for French ordinal numbers?

Start with the ordinals your class covered, usually premier through dixième, and add the feminine and last-item forms like première and dernière. A deck of about 15 to 20 cards is enough to begin with.
