英文詢問歲數與回答
1.「How old+be 動詞+主詞?」, be 動詞隨著主詞變化。
I→am He/She/It → is They/We→are 單數N→is 複數N→are
2.回答「……歲」時,year(s) old 可省略,如:I’m three.。簡答句時可省略主詞,直接回答歲數,Three years old.。亦可省略 years old,直接回答數字,如:Three.。
3.一歲用 year old 表示,year 不加 s。一歲以上皆用加了 s 的 years old 表示。
疑問句 | 答句 |
How old are you? 你幾歲? | I’m five (years old). 我五(歲)。 |
How old is he / she / it? 他/她/它幾歲? | He is six (years old). 他六歲。 She is sixteen (years old).他十六歲。 It is one (year old). 它一歲。 |
How old are you / they? 你們/他們幾歲? | We are twenty (years old).我們二十歲。 They are twelve (years old). 他們十二歲。 |
4.詢問年齡的 Yes / No 疑問句為「Be 動詞+主詞+數字(+years old)?」,其 be 動詞隨主詞變化。
Are you five years old? (你五歲嗎?)
Yes, I am . I am five years old.(是的,我五歲。)
No, I am not. I am seven years old. (不,我七歲。)
5.「數字-year-old」為形容詞用法,表示「……歲的」,不管幾歲 year都不加 s 。
例:Bob is a ten-year-old boy.(Bob 是個十歲的男孩。)
Is that seventeen-year-old girl your friend? (那位十七歲的女孩是你朋友嗎?)
6.用「主詞+be 動詞+at the age of+數字.」表達「某人……歲」,age 即是「年齡」的意思,因此本句型不須再加 years old。
例:Sally is at the age of sixteen.(Sally 十六歲。)
Cindy幾歲? How old is Cindy?
她二十歲。She is twenty (years old).= She is a twenty-year-old girl.= She is at the age of twenty.
