Hello
Another question
When I refer to someone's age, I have to say
"She's 8 years old" or "She's an 8-year-old", right?
So, after to be verb, do I always have to use the 's' ?
Thanks |

She's is an elision of She is. So, the 's IS the to be verb |

Sorry, my question wasn't clear.
I refered to the 's' in years.
"She's 8 years old"
"She's an 8-year-old girl"
So my question is: When there's an article before the age, Do I have to use "year" without the 's' ?
Thanks |
