When expressing someone's age in English, use the verb 'is' (am, is, are) instead of 'has'. For example, say 'She is 30' or 'She is 30 years old' rather than 'She has 30 years'. This grammatical rule applies to all age expressions.

Do Not Say SHE HAS 30 YEARS #ShortsAdded:
Stop saying, "She has 30 years." Say, "She is 30." or "She is 30 years old."
For age, use is, not has. Wrong. "My brother has 12 years." Better. "My brother is 12." Full lesson is in the related video. Tap it after the short.
Your turn.
He is 18. Or he has 18.
