Listen to the audio and complete the sentence below.
For the initial phase, BLANK is to finalize the software requirements by next Friday.
the first task
These three words show that this is the number one thing to do.
Ordinal numbers tell the position of something in a sequence, such as steps, tasks, or stages. Examples include: first, second, third, fourth, and so on.
To form most ordinal numbers, you take the cardinal number (1, 2, 3, 4...) and add the correct ending. Most ordinal numbers follow the pattern of adding -th, like 4 becomes fourth, and 6 becomes sixth. But 1, 2, and 3 are irregular: 1 becomes first, 2 becomes second, and 3 becomes third.
In the dialogue, the first task means it is the first action that needs to be completed in the initial phase.
