fyi: in your input examples you are using "s" bracketed between an open curly-brace and a close-parens.

"twelth" is a very common misspelling of "twelfth," but, in this case, "twelfth" would not be grammatically correct: the correct term is "twelve."

Your example of desired output spells "consecutive" as "consucative."

once a proofreader, always a proofreader :)

This replaces "12," "twelth," or "twelfth," with: "twelve:"

C#

// required
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

//somewhere in a method

string s = @"additional twelfth consecutive month(s) (""Renewal Term"") by giving";

Regex r = new Regex(@"\b12\b|\btwelth\b|\btwelfth\b");

s = r.Replace(s, "twelve");

Not really useful I guess, but a 5, because inquirers get what they ask for. :-)

Although this does not write your code for you it will help you to learn RegEx. A very helpful site is regexlib[^]; they have a large library of Regular Expressions. They also have a RegEx tester[^]. Also a very useful RegEx tool is available here[^].

Try this free magic regex generator at

Just supply the full sentence, then indicate the desired pattern, it will generate code in the language of your choice.
