[b]Note:[/b]

[color=red]1)[/color]In French you must have a noun which follows the number, otherwise your sentence will make no sense.
J'ai 20 [colour=purple]ans[/colour] = I'm 20

[color=red]2)[/color]The [b]e[/b] in parenthesis indicated the feminine form.

A man would say: Je suis prêt (I'm ready)/ je suis désolé (I'm sorry)
A woman would say: Je suis prêt[b]e[/b] / je suis désolé[b]e[/b]
