Vocabulary Learning
How to describe age
In this text, we see a pattern for talking about how old someone is. Instead of just saying "He is 14," we use the age as a description before the person.
The Pattern:
Number + -year-old + Person
Examples from the story:
- 17-year-old boy → A boy who is 17
- 72-year-old woman → A woman who is 72
- 52-year-old man → A man who is 52
Important Rule: Notice there is no "s" on the word "year".
❌ 17-years-old boy (Wrong) ✅ 17-year-old boy (Right)
Try replacing the numbers:
- 20-year-old student
- 5-year-old child
- 30-year-old doctor
