What is it about this expression?
Dear teachers,
I was reading newspaper the other day and saw a news like this:
"Four-year-old goes cruising
A boy drove his mother's car to a video store in the middle of the night, police said-and he's all of 4 years old. "
What does the underlined words mean? I have never seen this before
. I guess it means something like "he's merely 4 years old". Is that right?
thanks a lot!
