question to ask about ordinal numbers [duplicate]

Solution 1:

In your context, an ordinal is a position: you can ask "which" or "where."

D: “What was your position in the queue? E: “I was the first in the queue.”

F: “Where were you in the queue?” G: “I was the first in the queue.” (This works if both know the context.)

H: “I was first in the race.” J: “Where did you come in the race?”

K: “I was the second player” L: “Which position?”

M: “Which player were you?” N: “I was the second player.”

P: “Where were you [in the game] Q: “I was the second player.”
