Numerals

Numerals are a type of determiner that convey numbers. They can be cardinal (one, two, etc.), ordinal (first, second, etc), multiplicative (once, twice, etc.) or have other grammatical functions in other languages. In a sentence they can serve as various parts of speech depending on the type of numeral.
