Hi, there.
Look at this sentence.
#1. 'He looks younger than his age.'
Is this sentence grammatically correct?
In my opinion, it should be:
#2. 'He looks younger for his age.' or
#3. 'He looks younger than he did.'
Are there any differences in meaning among these three?
What do you think?
I'm waiting for your answers.  |

This is wrong. It should be: He looks young for his age.

This sentence is correct but it doesn't have the same meaning as the other two.
