A Gap in English Language: Romur or Reality? In my country, English teachers say there is no question sentence for this example in English language: Barack Obama is the 44th president of the United States We have to make a question sentence from above sentence that has an answer like this: ………………………………. ? 44th . Another example: Assume that I'm in a queue to buy something. In front of me, there are two people. So I'm the third. My brother calls me and asks me a question that his answer will be "The third". In my language we use a sentence like this: "How-manyth are you?" do you have any words instead of "How-manyth"?
