los años cuarenta, the forties
Recuerda que para expresar la edad no se usa el verbo to have sino el verbo to be: Tiene trece años. He is thirteen o he is thirteen years old. Nunca debes decir he is thirteen years. Si quieres expresar la edad de un bebé: tiene once meses, tienes que decir he is eleven months old.
