Dear NESE Community:

 

Another week has passed, and so it is time for another Typical Student Mistakes + More. As promised, this week, you can watch a short video for the answer. Of course, you can also just click the answer link below.

 

We encourage you to watch the video because it will not only provide you with the correct answer, but it will also provide you with some listening practice.

 

 

Please choose the correct answer.

 

How old are you?

        a. I am 22 years.

        b. I am 22 years old.

        c. I have 22.

        d. I have 22 years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answer choice “b” is the correct answer.

 

Answer: Choice “b”, "I am 22 years old”, is the only correct answer. However, it is equally correct to say: “I am 22”. All the other answers are what we here at NESE call “rubbish English”. No rubbish English please!
