A2 adjective #4,500 よく出る 3分で読める

eighth

When we count, we say one, two, three, and so on.

After number seven comes number eight.

So, eighth means it is in that position, after seven others.

For example, if you are the eighth person in a line, there are seven people in front of you.

When we talk about something that is the eighth, it means it comes after seven other things in a list or a sequence. For example, if you are the eighth person in line, there are seven people in front of you. It's like counting: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, then eighth. So, it shows the position of something when you are counting.

The word "eighth" is an adjective that describes something as being in the position after seven other items in a sequence. Imagine you have a line of eight people; the person at the very end of that line would be the eighth person. It's often used when talking about order or ranking, like the eighth day of the month, or the eighth chapter in a book. It helps us specify a precise place within a numbered series.

The term "eighth," as an adjective, denotes the ordinal position following the seventh in a sequence. It is fundamentally a numerical descriptor, placing an item or event precisely after seven preceding ones. This concept is universally applicable across various contexts, from chronological arrangements to hierarchical structures. Understanding "eighth" requires a grasp of basic ordinal numbering and its function in establishing order within a given set.

§ Spelling and Pronunciation

One of the most frequent errors people make with "eighth" is in its spelling. Because it's an ordinal number derived from "eight," learners often try to spell it as "eights" or "eighth" without the crucial 'gh' combination. The 'gh' makes the 't' sound at the end, and its absence can lead to mispronunciation.

Incorrect Spelling
eight
eights

§ Confusing Ordinal and Cardinal Numbers

Another common mistake is to use "eight" when "eighth" is required. "Eight" is a cardinal number, indicating quantity (e.g., eight apples). "Eighth" is an ordinal number, indicating position in a sequence (e.g., the eighth apple). While this might seem straightforward, in quick speech or writing, the distinction can sometimes be lost.

I ate eight cookies.

She was the eighth person in line.

§ Using "A Eighth" Instead of "An Eighth"

Because "eighth" starts with a vowel sound, the indefinite article preceding it should be "an," not "a." This is a general rule for articles before words that begin with a vowel sound, and "eighth" is no exception. Learners sometimes forget this rule, especially since the written word starts with 'e', which is a vowel.

Incorrect Usage
a eighth

§ Misplacing "Eighth" in a Sentence

While "eighth" is an adjective, it needs to be placed correctly to modify the noun it describes. Learners might sometimes put it in an awkward position, leading to an unclear or unnatural-sounding sentence. Generally, ordinal numbers come before the noun they modify.

Incorrect Placement
The turn eighth was difficult.

Instead, it should be:

The eighth turn was difficult.

§ Overlooking Contextual Usage

Sometimes, learners might use "eighth" in situations where a fraction or a different ordinal form might be more appropriate, or they might not fully grasp its implications in specific contexts. For example, when talking about musical intervals, "an eighth note" has a very specific meaning. Similarly, in racing, being "eighth" implies a ranking after seven others.

  • Fractions: "One eighth" is often used when referring to a part of a whole (1/8). While "an eighth" can also refer to this, "one eighth" is more explicit.

    She ate one eighth of the pie.

  • Dates: When referring to the eighth day of a month, it's common to say "the eighth of July" or "July eighth." While just "eighth" might be understood in context, using the full phrase is clearer.

    My birthday is on the eighth of August.

By being mindful of these common pitfalls, learners at the A2 level can significantly improve their accuracy and fluency when using the word "eighth" in English.

Write a short literary analysis (approximately 150 words) of a poem or prose passage where the 'eighth' stanza or paragraph introduces a significant thematic shift or character revelation. Discuss the impact of this placement.

Well written! Good try! Check the sample answer below.

Sample answer

In Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Raven,' the 'eighth' stanza marks a profound thematic shift, transitioning from the narrator's initial curiosity to an escalating sense of dread and despair. Up until this point, the raven’s presence is enigmatic, a mere interruption. However, with the utterance of 'Nevermore' in response to the narrator's questioning, the bird transcends its physical form to become a symbol of immutable sorrow. This strategic placement in the 'eighth' stanza is crucial; it establishes the irretrievable loss of Lenore as the poem’s central agony, transforming the narrative from a psychological exploration of grief into a chilling descent into madness. The seemingly innocuous interaction becomes the pivotal moment that irrevocably alters the narrator's psychological landscape.

According to the passage, what is the main reason for the debate surrounding the 'eighth' art form?

Read this passage:

Historically, the 'eighth' art form has been a subject of considerable debate among aestheticians and cultural theorists. While the traditional seven arts (painting, sculpture, architecture, music, poetry, dance, and literature) are universally acknowledged, the designation of an 'eighth' has varied widely across different epochs and cultures. Some argue for cinema due to its unique synthesis of visual and narrative elements, others for photography's ability to capture transient moments, and more recently, digital art and video games have entered the discussion. This ongoing discourse highlights the evolving nature of artistic expression and societal recognition.
