Asking age: How old are you?
Explanation
There is no new grammar here — age uses the verb "be" you already know. Ask with "How old + are/is + subject?": How old are you? How old is he? Answer with "be" + the number alone: I am ten. She is eight. English does NOT add a word for "years old" at A1 level — just the number. (You can say "ten years old" later, but "I am ten" is complete.) Note: Many languages count age their own way; in English you simply give the number after "am/is/are".
Examples
- How old are you? — I am ten.How old are you? — I am ten.
- How old is she? — She is eight.How old is she? — She is eight.
- My brother is five. The baby is one.My brother is five. The baby is one.
