--description--

The following is the structure to express age in Spanish:

Tengo + number in words + años.

In Spanish, the verb tener ("to have") is used to talk about age. For example:

Tengo veinte años. - I'm twenty years old.

The following numbers from 21 to 24 start with veinti-, followed by the corresponding number. The only exception is 21, which changes to Veintiún when it's followed by the word años. For example:

• Veintiún años. – Twenty-one years old.

• Veintidós años. – Twenty-two years old.

• Veintitrés años. – Twenty-three years old.

• Veinticuatro años. – Twenty-four years old.
