❌ We don’t say become for age

❌ I became 28 years old

Have you said something like this?

A lot of English learners make this mistake, but it’s easy to fix.

In English, we use turn when someone reaches a new age.
You can say, I turned 28.

Here are some other examples:
* I turned 40 last year.
* Jack’s daughter turned 18 yesterday
* My mom turned 96 in December.

Do you know anyone who recently had a birthday? Did they turn 28?

Leave your example in the comments.

Thanks for watching this American English lesson, and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
