    there are many ways I think..

    'if Mr is 6th president, which is premadas?'

    'where does premadasa fall on the list of presidents'

    but I think the simplest would be to ask 'what number president is premadasa'

    ow bun it's the least awkward way :yes: compared to "what is the number of presidency of Premadasa in terms of chronological order" , lol

    :yes::yes:

    how many presidents have there been in Sri Lanka before Premadasa?

    How many siblings do you have in your family who are older than you?

    this will work too

    Here are some examples of Direct and Indirect ways to response,
    Informal – Thanks for emailing me on 15th February
    Formal – Thank you for your email dated 15th February

    Informal – Sorry, I can’t make it.
    Formal – I am afraid I will not be able to attend

    Informal – Can you…?
    Formal – I was wondering if you could….?

    Direct – I need this in half an hour.
    Indirect – Would it be possible to have this in half an hour?

    Direct – There will be a delay
    Indirect – I’m afraid there may be a slight delay.

    Direct – It’s a bad idea
    Indirect – To be honest, I’m not sure if that would be a good idea.
