the third to the last

the third to the last

the forth to the last

......

the 100th to the last (right?)

Can you tell me another way to express with the same meaning? Thank you in advance!
  

Top answer

second-to-last = Two positions from the last place position. third-to-last = Three positions from the last place position. tenth-to-last place = Ten positions from the last place position.

  • second-to-last = Two positions from the last place position.
  • third-to-last = Three positions from the last place position.
  • tenth-to-last place = Ten positions from the last place position.
  • The "xth-to-last" construction is a lot more succinct, in my opinion.
