Question

What new subject are you going to have in ____ second grade?
I'm going to learn _____ second foreign language.
Anser is that the former is "the",the later is "a".
Why?如果有序数词前的冠词规则说明就更好了.

Answer 1

第一空表示次序,所以second前加定冠词the
第二空中,second foreign language的意思是“第二外语”,前加a,表示“一门第二外语”
序数词表示次序时前面使用定冠词the
