Hello everyone,

Are the following sentences correct?

1. George is 18 years old who is a student.

2. George is 18 years old, who is a student.

I think they are wrong.

The correct version is:

George, who is a student, is 18 years old.

You are quite right! You could also make it: George, who is eighteen years old, is a student. Note that most style guides will say that numbers, at least up to twenty, should always be written in words.
