I really like Your lessons. You explain everything very clearly and in very funny way.

Great felling to hear your lesson. . Brilliant way to teach. Love to take lesson from you.. You are hot;))
1. “If you are over 60, we would generally call you “silver-haired”.” — why not? xD
2. When do we use “year-old”?
3. Can we use “years-old”?
4. Is there any difference between “year old” and “year-old”?
5. What about age of things? — “My chair is 20″? xD
6. If I’m 12 months, is there another way to say how old I am than “I’m one” or “I’m one year old”?
1. It is rude.
2.Year old only with one.
3.Years old with all other numbers, but one.
4. No
5. yes, you can say how old things are!
6. No.
Thanks. :)
teacher,
so, if i want to ask or answer, about the age of thinks, like… “shoes, chair, house, dog etc.” the question it would be: how old things are your house?
and the answer would be: it is 21? xD
Thank’s for lesson

thanks!! Teacher Ronnie………

Hi Ronnie I’m 47 years old and I’m learning English with you so when you said one is in the grave I have afraid thank you Ronnie for your lesson I’m funny .
Hi. Ronnie, Im from Honduras Central America, It´s a pleasure to watch your english videos, I´ve learned a lot with you…I´m starting to work in a call center…and your video have been so helpful.
Best Regards…
Lenin Hernandez.
I’m reading news now, and there is a sentence:
“This is allegedly what happened in the 2002 Soham murders, where 13-year-old Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells were killed by Ian Huntley, their school’s caretaker.”
“13-year-old” — Ronnie, you said that “Year old is used only with one”, and there is no difference between “year old” and “year-old”. So, why do we have here “13″ and “year-old” and not “years-old”?
As far as I know,it’s (13-year-old) an adj here.
Gooodluck!
I found that the construction “xx-year-old” can be a noun or an adjective. I’m not sure if both need the dash after number, but “year” is always singular in these forms. But if we use “xx-year-old” as a noun it can be plural — “xx-year-olds”.
So, if I’m right, all below sentences are correct.
The boy is 5 (years old).
There is a 15-year-old boy.
There are two 18-year-olds.
I’m not sure about:
A 15-year-old is dead. — If we use “xx-year-old” as a noun, do we need a determiner?
Do we need something after “xx-year-old”, or can it exist alone if it is in a form of a noun?
Yep,u r absolutely correct!
Actually,ur all sentences r right.
Yes,we need a determiner in such a this sentence.
4 instance: A 15-year-old teenager.
15-year-old(adj) & teenager(n).
U know, in my book it’s not a noun n it can’t use alone.Tell u the truth,in this case I’m not totally sure!!
Glad I could help,
Later!
This is from eng wiki:
– “a 20-year-old man” (as a compound modifier) and “the 20-year-old” (as a compound noun) – but “a man, who is 20 years old”
You can read more at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_compound
Bravo!
As a matter of fact,I 4got the determiner ” the ”
!!!!!!!
Roonie, Roonie,
why new things are always for 1-beginners, where are for advanced also?)
thx ronnie for alllll your lesson you are a very goood teacher. and pleasssssssse (engvid)i need lesoon for (aireport;interview visa ) vocabulary :) thx for all your effort
How old are you? Ronnie
hi ronnie i m from Pakistan you are vry good teacher nd thanks’
Thank y extremely much Ronnie for all lessens.Iwouldliketo know wtat y mean y r 142.Y r an old soul.Ple.exp.
Is that right if we say “He is in his mid 20′s.„?
u must be in ur late 30′s right Ronnie? me too. good lesson n’ better teacher. cya.
Are these sentece wrong and please if it’s wrong tell me why
43years-old
40 year old
242 year-old
it doesn’t matter how old are you what matter is you still so Beauty and i mean what i wrote i am really upset for two or three comments about you Instead of thanking you for what you did for us thank you so much you ‘re my favorite teacher and i wish you all the best
You can say I am 43 years old.
When we describe someone, we say the 43 year old woman. It is optional to use -.
So, it looks like we don’t need the dash at all, and it’s up to the writer if he wants to use dash or not.
I think that I know all what I wanted to know. :)
So, “the 43 year old”, works as adjective of woman because describes her. Right Teacher?
sorry teacher.we must use the 43 years old woman,don’t use the 43 year old woman ,right?
Cool! I wanna more. :)
Ronnie, thanks a lot !! You’re the best teacher in the world. Bye.
Hi Ronnie !good teacher. let me say.You go on 5.You get into your teens. You become 21. You turn 30. You pushing 40 You reach 50 !You make to 60.You hit 70. After that, day by day. But ..you get into 80′s !You became 100, and became a little kid again…By the way. I am in my earlies seventy .Thank’s again,Ronnie

thanks alot RONNIE ,, I like your way to teach us :)
hello mis ronnie ,i am grateful to you for your efforts to help us . could i say
he is 23 a year old boy .
cuz here year old is an adjective
and boy is a noun ,
is my analysis right or wrong ?
How about 43 years of age.Is this correct way to say that.
(you have been reincarnated many time)Is this a 100% passive voice sentence?
Hi Ronnie!!! Thanks for this lesson :)

Thank u Ronnie I always like your way of teaching
Ronnie, Thank you for your knoledge. I’ve learned so much.
Hello Ronnie, Pleased to meet ya firstly! I have an enquiry to ur lessons about the ages please? Often I can hear in Enlish language – I’m 33 yero!
So what that means? I’m 33 years old (but something like a shortcut) Or new meaning in English language? Sometimes I’m using I’m 33 yero, even when I have a conversation via phone.Cheers!
I love Ronney, I like her classes she is so friendly, for me you are famous, if I were in Italy I can see her. Greetings from Venezuela.
(am) what is that?I don’t get it.
Ronnie, thank you for this lesson! You are marvelous!
P.S speaking of “marvellous” and “marvelous”. I’ve seen ‘em the both ways. I’m just wondering which is right? What’s the difference?
Best regards from Ukraine!)))
