2. This is pretty self-explanatory. These numbers tell the ORDER (first, second, third, etc.), and you have to memorize them:
primero sexto
segundo séptimo
tercero octavo
cuarto noveno
quinto décimo
3. Other than memorizing them, there are just a couple of things you need to know.
Unlike cardinal numbers, ordinal numbers change to agree with the noun:
cuatro chicos (four boys)
cuarta chica (fourth girl)
“Primero” and “tercero” lose the “o” when they come before a masculine singular noun:
El primer chico es el mejor. Before a masculine singular noun.
El primero es el mejor. NOT before a masculine singular noun.
La primera chica es la mejor. NOT before a masculine singular noun.
Los primeros libros son los mejores. NOT before a masculine singular noun.

No homework over this, but remember that it’ll be on the test, because I won’t remember to tell you.
