English A1 Q&A Corrections #099
Topic: Question and correction practice with asking about age
Lesson overview:
In this thread, we practice the correct question form for age and simple short answers. A common A1 mistake is putting the words in the wrong order. The correct question is: How old are you?
Review from previous lessons:
- We already practiced question words like how, what, and who.
- We also practiced short, simple answers.
- Today we use those ideas to ask about age.
5 useful words:
1) how — hau — in what way
2) old — ohld — age in years
3) year — yeer — 12 months
4) seven — sev-en — 7
5) eight — eit — 8
5 simple example sentences:
1) How old are you?
Reading: hau ohld ar yu
Meaning: Kaç yaşındasın?
Usage: This is the correct question for age.
2) I am nine years old.
Reading: ai am nain yeerz ohld
Meaning: Dokuz yaşındayım.

3) He is ten years old.
Reading: hee iz ten yeerz ohld
Meaning: O on yaşında.
Usage: Use is with he.
4) She is seven years old.
