He is 1 year old.
She is 1 year old.
She is 3 years old.
He is 11 years old.
He is 30 years old.
In these sentences, we only say "year" when the person is one. We say "years" for all other numbers. This is because "year" means one year, and "years" means more than one year. (singular and plural)
The boy is a 1 year old.
She is a 3 year old.
He is an 11 year old.
He is a 30 year old.
When using "a" or "an" we always say year.
Hopefully this helped you! English can be very confusing, so I apologize.
