Say your 10-year-old throws a temper tantrum and you respond with frustration. You might say "Come on, you're ten years old!" or you might say "Come on, act like a ten-year-old!" They mean the same thing but the latter seems to distance them from their age, and could also be used of non-ten-year-olds. I'm not quite sure this is the nuance, though, so I'll wait to see what a native speaker says. | |
