How do we ask and answer about age?

K ! -How old are you?

LOO -I’m 21 years old.
In English, we use the verb to be to talk
about age. Do not use the verb “have”.
She’s 25 years old
NOT She has 25 years old.

GRAMMAR
FOCUS
You focus your attention on some of the verbs.

-I’m Joseph.
-We’re from Egypt.
-We aren’t students.
-How are you?
-Is Oaxaca big?

These are forms of the verb be. GO TO TASK 1d VERB TO BE and look at the conjugation
chart. Can you complete it? Use the other comments to help you.
