Hi my friends :) May I ask a little question please.

I am wondering, is this sentence "I am already 80 years old." correct?

What is the difference between "I am already 80." and "I am 80."?

Is "I have been 80." correct? If it is correct, could you please tell me what does this sentence mean?

I want to express that I feel like I am old. I feel that "I am 80." can't express this feeling. How could I say it?

Thanks to you all. Have a nice day :)))

Thank you for correction!

    Yes it is!

 
  • What is the difference between "I am already 80." and "I am 80."?

  • What is the difference between "I am already 80." and "I am 80."?

    "already" makes the sentence have the feeling of "time goes so fast! I am ALREADY 80!"

 
  • Is "I have been 80." correct?

  • Is "I have been 80." correct?

    technically correct, but I don't think anybody would ever say it. It means you were once 80.

 
"I feel like an old woman!"

or "I feel so old." is a very common phrase.

Wow~

Thank you Roy, you reply me so fast. :))

Yes, I want to say "I am ALREADY 80"! Time goes so fast! Haha :))

Thank you :))

You are so young! Try being almost 30 :'(
I want to cry.

No, we are different. You are male, but I am female. I think that even 50 is young for a guy, and gilrs always like mature man!
May 28th 2012 21:18 Roybie
Haha, well that makes me feel a little better :)

Roy :)

Is this sentence correct:

"I am so sorry to hear that your friend was in distress."

May 28th 2012 21:39 Roybie
Yeah that's fine :)
It's very polite sounding.

Thank you Roy :)

I sent you a message, have you seen it?
May 28th 2012 22:40 Roybie
Totally thought I had replied. I wrote a reply and it's vanished!
I shall write another :)

  • What is the difference between "I am already 80." and "I am 80."?

    Note: The difference between the two sentences is that "I am already 80." implies that you are somwhat surprised to be 80 years old.In the sentence "I am 80." you are merely stating how old you are.

  • I want to express that I feel like I am old.

    Change this sentence to:"I want to express that I feel old."

 
Here's an example of how to exprss that feeling of being old:"I feel so old at 80." I know it may not be the most creative example, but it gets your point accross effectively.

I'd like to add that you can say "I'm already ..." in reply to a question. E.g.

A: Are you turning 20 this year?
B: I am already 25 years old!

It doesn't always mean surprise.
