Year vs. Yearsyears old — Singular vs. Plural
Use "year old" only when age = 1. For all other ages, use "years old".
"I'm nine." is a short form of "I am nine years old."
| Example | Rule |
|---|---|
| I am one year old. | age = 1 → year old (singular) |
| I am nine years old. | age ≠ 1 → years old (plural) |
| I am nine year old. | Wrong — must use "years" for age ≠ 1 |
| I'm nine. | Short form — "years old" is dropped |
