An adjective is any word which modifies a noun; or (more helpfully) any word which can occupy the place of another adjective in a test sentence.
Look a the truck! Look at the red truck!
red is the adjective here (it modifies truck). Which number words can take the place of red?
Look at the first truck!
Look at the second truck!
Look at the third truck!
First, second, third ... are called ordinalnumbers. They are the numbers we usually use as adjectives.
One, two, three are cardinal numbers. It is not normal to use cardinal numbers as adjectives.
*Look at the one truck!*
*Look at the two truck!*
*Look at the three truck!*
don't really work as normal English.
