he marries Anne Hathaway, who is eight years older Explanation: In case of any doubt, confirmed by Wikipedia :) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2018-10-31 16:59:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If she were eight years old, the German would read: die achtjährige Anne Hathaway (or perhaps: die acht Jahre alte Anne Hathaway). älter(e) is a comparative form. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Hathaway_(wife_of_Shakespeare) |
