When talking about age we don't use any verbs, for example:
我二十岁。
What about when you need to deny someone's age? Do we use 不是 or 没有?
我不是二十岁。 or
我没有二十岁。
Thanks

and 没有
, for different meaning.
我不是二十岁。
I'm not twenty years old. (Probably 10, or 30, ...)
我没有二十岁。
I'm less than twenty years old.
PS: You could use 是
such as 我是二十岁
to emphasize the fact (that you're twenty). And when asked with the specified age, we usually answer it with using 是
. e.g.
你是二十岁吗?
我是二十岁。
When asked about the age generally, we usually answer it without using 是
.
你多大?
我二十岁。
