phrase is correct to use to write about ages so in this video you will learn to use years old or year old correctly all right [Music] this topic may sound very simple to you but i assure you there are many people who don't know to use these phrases correctly that's why they do mistakes in english let's do one thing i'll give you some sentences they may be correct or incorrect you please check it out whether you know the answers or not if you know all the answers definitely this video is not for you but if you don't know the answers i request you to watch this video without skipping all right so let's start quickly please read painter these sentences 50 years old man is it correct or incorrect painter is a 50 year old man is it correct or incorrect here i am using ears but here year which one is correct now another phrase five years old house is it correct or incorrect another phrase five years old house is it correct or incorrect here i have not used hyphens but here i have used do you know the answers all right i'll give you answers painter is a 50 years old man is incorrect painter is a 50 year old man is correct five years old house is incorrect five years old house is also incorrect so do you know the answers do you know the reasons why three of these sentences are incorrect but one of them is correct if you don't know about it then watch this video without skipping all right so in this video i'll explain about how should you write ages when should you hyphenate all right so first i'll explain the phrase year old this phrase is used when it is used as adjective so use year old with hyphen when you use it as adjective okay so yield when using as adjective so use hyphen to express ages as adjectives before and now look at these examples he is a 16 year old boy here ear is used not ears and a is also there before 16 and 16 is there then also ear not ears why because the whole phrase is used as an adjective and this phrase is describing a noun that is boy so he is a 16 year old boy that's why a is here and he is here not ears and noun is there after this phrase so whenever we are using year old phrase before a noun we use hyphens and we write ear not ears all right so he is a 16 year old boy now look at another example a 15 year old boy won the prize again same thing i is here hyphens are here ear not ears okay so a 15 year old boy won the price one more example this is a 10 year old pan not 10 years old pan so did you notice one thing that after this phrase year old along with hyphens we have nouns here after the phrase so this phrase is used as an adjective before a noun so when this phrase year old is used as an adjective before a noun we write year old with hyphen not years old all right so if you write he is a 16 years old boy a 15 years old boy won the prize or this is a 10 years old pen all these sentences would be wrong so you have to keep one tip in your mind whether we have a noun after this phrase here old or not so here you see after this phrase we have a noun that's why this sentence would be wrong so we cannot write ears if we have a noun after the phrase year old we'll use hyphens and we'll write ear not ears so here also we have noun after the phrase and here also we have noun after the phrase so all these sentences would be wrong if we write years old okay now years old we use this phrase when stating age of a noun so look at these examples hari is 20 years old my house is 50 years old his son is 2 years old did you notice something here there is no noun after the phrase years old and there is no hyphen between years and old so when we use the phrase years old neither we use any noun after it nor we use hyphen between ears and old you will understand it better when i'll explain the difference between year old and ear sold all together i'll take the same examples which i have already taken to explain about the phrase year old okay he is a 16 year old boy i have already explained that this phrase as a whole is used as an adjective and now is there after the phrase that's why we are using a here because the whole phrase is used as an adjective and we are not adding s after ear but we are using hyphens so 16 hyphen year hyphen old the whole phrase is used as an objective if i want to write the same sentence using years old how will i write it he is 16 years old so what did i remove i removed up from here and hyphens are not there but i've added so did you notice the difference he is a 16 year old boy boy is here but here you see noun is not there after the phrase years old so he's 16 years old another example this is a 10 year old pen this pan is 10 years old do you see the difference if i use this phrase as an adjective noun will appear after it and i will be here i'll use hyphens and s won't be there here okay so this is a 10 year old pen but if i use years old this pan is 10 years old years without hyphen all right and noun will not appear after this phrase another example a 15 year old boy won the prize if i write the same sentence using years old how will i write the boy who won the prize is 15 years old did you understand the difference now so iphones are not here and no known after old but here we have now the 15 year old boy won the prize the boy who won the prize is 15 years old so i hope you have understood the difference okay i think now you know it very well how to use these phrases correctly in english and you know about the mistakes in the sentence and phrases am i right so let's find out the mistakes in the sentence and phrases painter is a 50 years old man this sentence is incorrect so what are the mistakes in this sentence if you want to use the phrase years old how will you write this sentence correctly just remove and ban from the sentence and the correct sentence will be painter is 50 years old that's it and if you want to use the phrase year old the correct sentence is already here what's the mistake in this phrase just remove s from here and the correct phrase will be five year old house that's it in the same way in this phrase remove s from here and use hyphen after five and year so five year old house that's it so
