English does not allow all word formation patterns to be productive; for example, learners cannot form 'young time' as a noun from 'young' because this pattern is not valid in English, and the correct forms are 'youth' or 'when I was young'.

Why do learners say this?
Learners sometimes create forms like young time. They're trying to form a noun from young, but English doesn't allow this pattern here.
We'd say youth or when I was young. Not all patterns are productive. This is the kind of problem you can identify in paper one, task four.
