    at the age of forty

    Note the various ways of saying these in French:
    he is about fifty
    = il a environ cinquante ans
    or il a une cinquantaine d’années
    or (less formally) il a dans les cinquante ans
    (Other round numbers in -aine used to express age are dizaine (10), vingtaine (20), trentaine (30), quarantaine (40), soixantaine (60) and centaine (100).)
