Answer:

Bonjour!

This would be different for everyone.

So what I can help you with is the numbers and wording of the sentences:

the structure is the following:

(subject) + a + (age) + an(s)

It's basically, someone + is + that many + years old.

So:

Moi, j'ai

Mon père a

Ma mère a

Mon meilleur ami a

Ma meilleur amie a

Mon oncle préféré a

Ma cousine préférée a

Le professeur a

and then a number for the age:

1 - un

2 - deux

3 - trois

4 - quatre

5 - cinq

6 - six

7 - sept

8 - huit

9 - neuf

10 - dix

11 - onze

12 - douze

13 - treize

14 - quatorze

15 - quinze

16 - seize

and then you just need to know the 10s:

20 - vingt

30 - trente

40 - quarante

50 - cinquante

60 - soixante

70 - soixante-dix

80 - quatre-vingt

90 - quatre-vingt-dix

100 - cent

then, it's very simple:

for example to make 45, you would simply put 40 + 5:

quarante cinq

it's like this for every other possibility except for the first numbers of each 10s:

so 21 would be 20 and 1, not 20 + 1:

vingt et un

61 would be 60 and 1, not 60 + 1:

soixante et un

After the number you need to add ans, which means years.

The only exception being for 1, where you would loose the s to give an.

I hope this will help :)
