Yo say how old someone is you use tener + age + años.

Ex: Mark tiene treinta años. Mi hermano tiene siete años. Mi tío tiene treinta y nueve años.

YOU CANNOT SAY Mark es treinta. It doesn't make sense in Spanish.

In Spanish you have your age :)

tienes = you have

tiene = he or she has

tenemos = we have

tenéis = yall have

Adjectives in Spanish

Make sure your adjectives (descriptive words like good & red) agree in gender and number with the thing it describes:

Ella es simpática. She is nice. (She is a girl thus the adjective simpática ends in an a.)

Marco es ordenado. Marco is organized. (Marco is a boy thus the adjective ordenado ends in an o.)

Same goes for plural adjectives: Ellas son trabajadoras. (There are many hard workinging

girls so we add an s to trabajadoras.) Ellos son talentosos. (There are many talented boys so

we add an s to talentosos.)
