First = 1st
Second = 2nd
Third = 3rd
Fourth = 4th
As you can see, the two letters after the number are the last two letters of the word.
So 21 = twenty first = 21st.

It all matters on pronouncation. You know the drill for 1 digit numbers,
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
5th
6th
7th
8th
9th
And take a look at ’21 »s last digit. It’s one, so it becomes first. But, ’11 »s pronouncation is eleven, it does not end with the word one. Therefore, it is 11th. Here are some examples to make you understand.
28th birthday = twenty EIGHT, eight uses th so 28th.
23rd of November = twenty THREE, three uses rd so 23rd.
Also, remember that all numbers from 10-20 uses th because they do not pronounce the last digit as how they would in a single digit.Examples
15th = FIFTEEN, doesn’t end with five, so th.
13th = THIRTEEN, doesn’t end with three, so th.

Why don’t you put those numbers in words and then see which is correct and which is not? 21st is « Twenty first » and 21th is « Twenty Oneth » I don’t know ’bout you, but not one the English speaking people I’ve come across in my entire life have EVER said « Twenty oneth. » 🙂
