易错句子My little brother has six years old.
正确表达My little brother is six years old.
汉语说“我弟弟六岁”，靠“有/是”的概念表达年龄；但英语表示年龄必须用 be 动词，不能用 have。固定结构是“be + 基数词 + years old”，所以应说 is six years old，而不是 has six years old。

易错句子She has a six years old son.
正确表达She has a six-year-old son.
数词加名词一起放在名词前作定语时，要写成带连字符的复合形容词，且其中的名词用单数：six-year-old。若写成 six years old，只能作表语（Her son is six years old），不能直接修饰后面的名词。
