A child's birthday party doesn't have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth, a mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months.
Shall I change "aged" for "ages" in this sentence? Or both are right?
Thanks |

"Ages 4 and 18 months" is correct. It's a short way of saying, "...whose ages are 4 and 18 months."
Does that make sense? |
