How to ask how old are you in English?

I know this phrase back in school, when we talked about ourselves and used it in dialogues. How old are you sounds like Ha old a u. It is written like this: How old are you? Literally - what age are you? How old are you?

HOW old are you? - How old are you, in my opinion, in English..

Happy New Year!

How old are you?

On English language this phrase will sound like this: How old are you?. Approximately it will look like this: How old and yu?

It is very easy to remember, in contrast to pure pronunciation, not like that of Vitaly Mutko in his famous speech in English.

From the school English course we know that the question is: How old are you? will sound in English like How old are you?. There is another way to pronounce this simple question, such as: What is your age?. Either of these two translations of this question would be correct.

In English, you can ask about age as follows: How old are you?

You can also use the expression: what is your age? Using these expressions, you can ask about the age of any interlocutor in English.

How old are you????))))))))))))))) in my opinion

Learning English begins with this phrase

You just need to remember this phrase and then you definitely won’t forget it

How old are you in English? how old are you

The phrase is not so complicated - write it a couple of times and remember it for sure

English is an interesting language, and there are a lot of unforeseen difficulties in it; here you cannot construct a question as in traditional Russian, you need to adhere to the standards of this language. That's why in English how old are you will be translated approximately How old are you? How old are you?

It all depends on the situation. Besides the traditional How old are you, there are other options. After all, this school phrase literally translates to how old you are, and it’s better not to please women of Balzac’s age with such formulations, right? Therefore, if your level of language proficiency allows, you can stun your wonderful interlocutor with the following tirade: Pardon, Miss! Could You be so kind to open a secret of Your age?

If you ask in English then - How old are you? It will roughly sound like this: How old and yu? If in Russian. Answers are given in this type - I am 16 (sixteen) years old (I am sixteen years old). It will sound something like this: I'm sixty years old. Or it could be simpler: I am 16 (I’m 16, that is, don’t say the word YEARS). Statements are given in this type - You are 15 years old! (You are 15 years old) Yu ar fifty years old! Negations are given according to this type - Im not 15 years old! (I'm not 15 years old) Aim not fiftin years old.

P.S Sorry for so much text that is not relevant, I just thought it would be useful to you.

I admit, I myself considered the phrase How old are you? almost the only one of its kind to satisfy curiosity about age. Because that’s what we learned in school, and that’s how we continue to think. But English, like any other language, is very rich and multifaceted.

Not everyone will have the opportunity to visit an English-speaking country in their entire life, but knowing English is still very useful. ask a person how old he is like this: How old are you? (how old and you)

How to respond to “How are you”?

In the English-speaking world, the culture of “small talks” is very developed - short, non-committal conversations, including with strangers, for example, in an elevator or in queues. To start a conversation, people ask familiar questions like “How’re you?” or “How’s going.”

Do you know how to answer them? Of course, “I’m fine” - after all, it’s not customary to complain, and no one is interested in your affairs and concerns. But you can come up with something else, add variety to the standard answer.

How are you?

• Fine. Brevity is the soul of wit. By limiting yourself to one “fine”, you are sending a clear signal that you do not intend to continue the conversation.
• Not bad. Sounds a little friendlier.
• Fine, thanks. This is a formal answer - just right for answering a stranger like a waiter in a restaurant.
• Very well, thanks. An ideally correct answer from a grammatical point of view, because the question “how” requires an adverb answer. Although, in general, few people worry about this, except that the English “grammar Nazis” may insist on observing this rule.
• Pretty good. Let's forget about grammar, long live the living language and everyday “good” and “pretty good”.
• Great! How are you doing? A full positive answer and mirroring the question to the interlocutor - now let him answer himself, and then, lo and behold, the conversation will begin.
• I'm hanging in there.

  Too many connections

  This is what you can say if the day turned out to be difficult.

• I've been better. Yes, the answers are not always positive; there are also dark periods in life. If the answer sounds sad, it implies that you want to tell your sad story, so the next question will probably be “What’s wrong?” - and your time will come to complain to the whole world.

How's it going?

It’s no different from “how’re you”, so you can safely use everything listed above. But there is one exception answer that works only for this case:

• It's going well. Friendly and polite, suitable for colleagues, clients and distant acquaintances.

What's up?

This question in expanded form sounds like “What’s happening in your life?” Naturally, an honest account of the recent events of your life is not required - a short question still requires a short answer, perhaps one of these:

• Nothing much. The most popular answer, because most of the time nothing interesting happens. Although you can answer like this: “Nothing much.” Just preparing for a great weekend party.”
• Not a lot. Same “nothing special”, just a little different.
• Nothing. This answer sounds a little annoyed, perhaps rude.
• Oh, just the usual. It can be used if everything is absolutely the same and there is nowhere to expect variety.
• Just the same old same old. The same routine without a glimmer of novelty. What's different about this answer is that it shows that you're a little bored with it all.
• Oh gosh, all kinds of stuff! If quantity interesting events in your life is off the charts, answer like this.
