Why is not possible in english that we can say "My son has ten years" the point is that we use verb " to have" not "to be ". For example in my mother language we have two options when we use to have "Moj sin ima deset godina" and when we use verb to be it is sounds "Moj sin je desetogodišnjak".O.K. this is not topic for discussion like that but I'm just thinking about differences.No hard feelings.:-)

I am a native English speaker and we would never say "my son has ten years..". We would say "my son is ten years old". The verb in question is the "to be" verb. In Italian they use the "have" verb.
