I'd like to add two more age-related questions to this thread, which has reached a respectable age already. What about following sentences: - The competition is open to all children from 7 to 18/ between 7 and 18. - I played the guitar from 7 to 18. (age, not time) - I played the guitar from my 7th to my 18th. Regards, Kunsan
