Beginner — Day 3 — Numbers 1–100 & Asking Age
At lunchtime, Nok shows Anna a family photo.
Nok: 'This is my brother, Tam. He is fifteen years old.'
Anna: 'Fifteen! And how old are you, Nok?'
Nok: 'I am twenty years old. And you, Anna? How old are you?'
Anna: 'I am twenty-five years old.'
Nok: 'My grandmother is in this photo too. She is seventy years old!'
Anna counts on her fingers: 'One, two, three... She looks young for seventy!' They both laugh.
Numbers help us talk about age, prices, and phone numbers every day. Numbers 13-19 end in '-teen' (thirteen, fourteen, fifteen...), and the tens end in '-ty' (twenty, thirty, forty...). To ask someone's age, say 'How old are you?' and answer with 'I'm ___ years old.'
