🕰️ Talking about Time and Age

In this text, we see how to describe someone's age and specific dates. This is a key skill for A2 learners.

1. Using "Old" for Age Instead of saying "his age is 71," we use a simple pattern:

  • Person + is + Number + years old.
  • Example: "She was 71 years old."
  • Example: "Campbell is almost 40 years old."

2. Writing Dates Dates usually follow a Month + Number pattern:

  • May 6 → (Month first, then the day).

3. Simple Time Phrases To show when something happens, use these a bit more often:

  • Right now → At this exact moment.
  • At the same time → Two things happening together.

Quick Guide:

  • Present: He is 40.
  • Past: She was 71.
