Is it incorrect to say "when i am 18" ?
Hi, so i live in Moscow at the moment.
and i am having an argument with the English teachers at University here.
They claim that it is incorrect to say:
"When i turn 18" and that the correct way is to say it "When i turn to 18"
we are talking about 18 years of age here.
I know that everyone is going to say that the first (When i turn 18) is correct. But i need an actual English grammar teacher to tell me.
Thanks
