RnR Grammar

In this episode I said to Dan:

“The last episode I did was with a 5 year old and I think your intelligence levels are the same”

Notice how we say ‘5 year old’ and not ‘5 years old’, this is because we put ‘a’ before it. So we can say “I am 5 years old” or “I am a 5 year old”… it’s a small difference, but it’s these small details that make the difference between a decent speaker of English and a RnR speaker of English! ?
