Grammar
Telling someone's age
Hello!
I know you can say "at the age of 11" or "at 11 years of age", but is it possible to say "at 11 years"?
Thank you very much
Fabian

It is probably said by some, but I think it falls short of correct unless it falls within a context. At five years of age, a child can do such-and-such; at eleven (years) he can do such-and-such.

I agree with Philip. You could not use the expression "cold," without establishing context.
- Unless perhaps you're Arthur Miller -
I went into the jungle at 19.
I came out of the jungle at 21.
And by *** I was rich!
(or something like that)
