confusing

[hyhyvie]

is there anyone can help me in this question?

which sentence is right?
1. I have a two years old cat
2. I have a two year old cat
...
'two' is plural and we often say :
my cat is two years old. Its correct, no doubt.
but if i want to express this sentence in another way like
i have a two years old cat
is it still right?

can u help me with some similar examples to make it clear

thanks in advance

câu số 2 là đúng. Cụm tĩnh từ two year old là dùng để bổ nghĩa cho cat. Vì vậy mà chữ year không có "S".

The judge handed him a two year sentence. Ông toà "tặng" cho nó 2 năm tù.

Câu số 1 rõ ràng là sai. Câu số hai chính xác hơn là phải viết như thế này "I have a two-year-old cat"

Thank Paddy and english-learner for your helps.
yeah, i got it.
'two - year - old ' is used as an adjective
........
i try to think and finally have this example:
this is a 4-wheel car

Hurrah!!
well done myself!

Not quite The general rule with numbers is to spell numbers up to ten and to write the number itself if it is over ten. So really you should write: this is a four-wheel car.

In this case, it should be four-wheeled car.

[Paddy]

In this case, it should be four-wheeled car.

They are both the same.
