Еще один урок для начинающих студентов. Послушайте разговор:
— I know you have three children. Let’s talk about their ages. When we talk about age, the question is , “How old…” and then we’re going to use the verb to be:(когда речь идет о возрасте, вопрос начинается так: How old…, а потом прибавляем форму глагола to be).
How old is he? How old is she? How old are they? How old are you?
And when you answer, the answer is just…
He is (He’s…), She is (She’s…), I’m (I am…) + age.
So for example, you have three children. Two girls and one boy. Tell me about your son. How old is he?
— She is… (обратите внимание, что Наташа ошибается: ее спросили о нем, а не о ней).
— How old is he?
— He is five.
— So you can say, “He’s five” or “He’s five years old.” He’s five. Okay. You have two daughters. How old are they?
— They… they…
— You can say one… and the other..., right? Because they are not the same. How old are they? One is… One girl is… (Нужно сказать одна и другая, поскольку они не одного возраста).
— One girl is three years old. The other… she is twenty.
— Twenty. She’s older.
— I’m…
— Do you want to say? Maybe it’s a secret. Do you know “secret”? I say: I’m over thirty. My age is a secret. (Мне за тридцать).
— My age… It’s a secret.
— I’m over thirty. You can say, you are over thirty. We’re over thirty. Natasha, can you ask me about my children?
— How old…. Do you have children?
— Yes, I do.
— How old are they?
— My son is six. My daughter is four.
