I had an English class this morning on Zoom. Before it started, the teacher said "My son is almost an adult." And I asked, "How old is he?" The teacher replied "He will turn 18 in August." I should have said more to continue the conversation but I had no sentences. But I might say "How do you feel about him growing up?" now.

I had a English class this morning via Zoom. Before it started, the teacher said "My son is almost an adult." And I said "How old is he?" The teacher said "He will turn 18 next August." I should have said more to continue the conversation, but I had no more sentences I could use. But, I might have said "How do you feel about the fact that he is almost grown up now?"
