Key Points

  • Cardinal Numbers or counting numbers are used to count things. -- "how many”. ex: 5 apples, 2 dogs, 3 books etc.
  • An Ordinal Number tells the position of something in a list, such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.
  • When the cardinal and ordinal numbers are used together in the same sentence, the ordinal number precedes the cardinal number.
  • Four is a cardinal number and first is an ordinal number.
     

So the given sentence should be --The first four girls will be given the chance to participate in the dance competition.
