  9. What we already know In Historical Narrative, prepositions, numbers and time words like or are used to construct a temporal X .

  13. What we already know is an ordinal number. It expresses order, e.g. first, second, third, etc., as opposed to cardinal numbers, which are the ones we use for counting.

  14. What we already know Hebrew has special forms for the ordinal numbers 1 10, i.e. first tenth. See table in Rocine 50.2a, top of page 276. Numbers above 10 have no special ordinal and cardinal forms. Context must tell you the difference between ordinal and cardinal numbers above 10.

  15. What we already know adjective noun modifies Ordinal numbers typically follow the noun they modify, as in the example above.

  20. What we already know Read the notes and translate the examples in Rocine 50.2c and d. Note especially how the concept of an ordinal number can be expressed by an alternate word order which uses the construct form of the thing which is numbered. (See Rocine 50.2d, top of page 277 for description and examples.)
