Defining age groups
Dear teachers,
when talking about restrictions related to different age groups we can say:
A) All the pupils aged between 12-14...
B) Students aged 12 to 14
C) Students between the ages of 12 to 14...
But:
Is it possible to use:
D) ... students from 12 till 14.
E) ... students from 12 to 14.
It works with periods of time. But does it work with age groups, too?
